smith & mamasita..

Finally tried to get mom to use her Christmas certificate from 2 years ago so ventured to Glastonbury to the Pendleton store…it was a bust, expensivo and no sales which I was surprised..Smith & Hawken’s was going out of business so we took a look..another bust..people must be making the big bucks up that way..

Though ironically my mom spotted a photo - American Girl in Italy by Ruth Orkin - it’s the same photo that we have in her tailor shop - The Dressmaker & Tailor - in Milford..

She’s gotten so many compliments - I bought it for her from IKEA when she first opened the store and since she’s had about 40 inquiries about it..IKEA sold out so I ended up finding a high res image online and sent it to Grand4Mat.com to get a print - cost me $25 and sold the print for $50..not too shabby..
