I have just become one of the 14 million you might find online..but how I would love a little shop, with real live passers-by! But I live in a windy field on Ireland's west coast so there will be no little shop for me, and no passers-by. I've been an artist all my life, and while I've always felt that I was sitting on a pot of gold, somehow it has never materialised. Kids did, though! Now the youngest is five, I have some real time. So I offer hand-painted, custom stationery for couples planning to wed. My favorite offering is to paint the story of their relationship, in three little pictures on their invitations. Your comments on value vs. price are interesting and very enlightening. I know that this is original art created by a skilled artist: they, however, don't always feel that way. On the other hand, I'm happy to set out my stall and take my chances. It's a marvelous adventure either way, one which I hope will make the pot fill with self-esteem, if not gold. However, two wonderful things happen when a bride chooses me, the newest kid on the block: I contribute to the family's coffers, and the happiness that I give her is more than equaled by the happiness I get in return. I shall be a regular reader from now on. Roisin Hi Richard and Sheila…I read with great interest you articles on wedding stationery.
