Back in the summer of 2007, I hearted a fabulous new to Etsy artist Tim Chumley. A short time later, he convo'd me asking for shop advice. I wrote him a novel and in return he offered me some prints from his shop. He said pick 2-3, so I sent him my top three choices. In return, he sent me four prints. I was absolutely floored by his generosity and kindness I even blogged about it at the time. The prints have sat, carefully tucked away, for the last two years. We had no good place to hang them in the rental house. But when the hubby and I were sorting through art a few weeks ago, we found the perfect place for them in the kitchen. Four frames and a few nails later and they are up and hung. I love having them up and out. Not only because they are beautiful, bright, and full of life. But because they are a constant reminder of the generosity of strangers. A reminder to be open and kind. To send out good into this world. And it makes for a heck of a story. : )
You're right, that is a fantastic story! They look very nice hanging on your sunny walls, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice story! And I like how you put a different spin on the Flashback Friday....... instead of taking an old picture... you take a picture of something "old".. good idea!
