Thursday

Q and I have been showered with gifts lately!
Yesterday this adorable little miniature of Q came in the mail from the darling and multi-talented Patricia at PVE. It's so delicate and sweet, all the little details and flourishes, and I absolutely treasure it!
Also in the envelope was this postcard of one of her beautiful city scenes, which I had to post because I'm feeling nostalgic for NYC!

And from Mlle Paradis on the opposite coast...
...a box containing an ingenious set of "faux vintage books" (read: secret box!), along with this beautiful card of her painting! I have to tell you that the best part of all was the wrapping, entirely hand-designed and beautifully executed! I would have taken a picture, but I could not stop Q (who has recently discovered the joy of opening gifts) from tearing into the wrapping before I could even get to my camera. In any case, I have been inspired to work harder at my wrapping technique ;)

Oh Maia! You've outed me! And such an old painting. But it reproduced well - thanks for doing such a nice job getting the colors true and I'm happy to be in your and Patricia's company. Glad you and Q both enjoyed the wrapping paper. I did have fun doing it.

Mlle that wrapping was a masterpiece! I am ready to cry that I don't have a picture of it intact. I haven't had such a beautifully-wrapped gift since the old Christmas parties in Woodstock in the '70s when all the artists would create their own wrapping paper.
