Something told me to go in The Mustard Seed today...
I didn't have one good reason to go.
I walked straight to the back...to Lisa's booth.
This vintage picture 'caught my eye'...
It's perfect for Marlee Pearl's nursery.
Marlee Pearl's nursery will be in bright colors of...
... red, yellow, and aqua.
When I'm looking at this picture......
I'm thinking...
Turn around Marlee Pearl so we can see what you'll look like.
Mika is 20 weeks.
When I was paying for my picture~ Judy notice the signature of the artist....
Smith.
Meant to be.














Oh Tina, what a happy accident. So happy for all of you while you await you first little one. I have, and will only have one gradbaby, Jackson, who is now two years old. And he LOVES his Nana, me!!! Jackson has given me more JOY than anything I could ever wish or hope for. Keep us posted on your sweet Mika--and David too.
HOT in Louisiana, Judy

I think this is the first, maybe the second time I have commented on your posts. This is the cutest picture ever. I love it when this happens. You never know what is out there in vintage land just meant for you! So happy for you. My "gandbaby" is already going to be 12 yrs. old, but I still have fun finding things for her and her mom. Enjoy your blessed days with your precious and beautiful family. BTW--luv,luv,luv the color scheme!

Gosh Mika, you're already 20
weeks....my doesn't time fly
when you're having fun!! Can't
wait to see Marlee Pearl.

That is the cutest picture and soooo meant to be. Both you and Mika will have to wait to see Miss Marlee Pearl, but if she turns around please let us know. I think that is the coolest thing that the artist's name is Smith. WOW!!! Love her choice of colors for the nursery. So up to date and soooo darn cute. What did great mawmaw think of all of this and Uncle Tony too. Did you get my e-mail? The name of your print is "Museum Vistor" and it is from 1946 and a very rare find. It is very expensive also. Good find.

That picture is adorable...so fresh and youthful. I think it will be cute-as-can-be hung on a nursery wall.
Red, yellow and aqua sounds so bright and cheerful! I can't wait to see what else you buy for Marlee Pearl, Lollie!!! :-)

How sweet. I am very happy for you and your family.
The picture reminds me of the illustrations in the old Ramona and Beezus and Henry Huggins books. :)

Tina, where is The Mustard Seed? Is it an antique mall with different kinds of booths or what? Sounds like a place I need to visit!!!!!!
Posted by: Susan K. | August 12, 2011 at 09:05 PM
That is one awesome picture!!! Isn't it funny that she has her back turned? I love that. Your right Tina, turn around so we can see her face.

Congratulations Lollie! What a sweet picture. Being a grandma is the best thing ever. I am absulutely thrilled to be Memaw to two adorable baby boys =) Enjoy!

AWE! That is so cute! The perfect little piece. You know that we want to see that darling little nursery as soon as it is done. :)
Posted by: Liz | August 13, 2011 at 01:44 PM
Yes...I agree with Elsie above...I googled your artist and also found that this piece of art is from 1946 and titled "Museum Visitor." How fun that it is going in your new grandbabies nursery. What a cute name "Marlee Pearl."
