Self Portrait, no seriously

See, I am both stunningly beautiful and insanely talented, with incredible confidence that allows me to pull of fashions of bygone eras with grace and ease. Right?
Ok fine, I'm lying. You would have found out sooner or later. I did mention before, in one of my previous posts about the unbelievably talented (she actually is) Amber Alexander and her lovely lady portrait, that I found a quite striking portrait in a vintage shop in West Palm Beach. Well, allow me to introduce Fifi Sufios. She was painted by Franz Reichmann sometime in the late 1800's (or so I've been told). Fifi lives above my mantle with her cat Gigi, whom you will meet at a later date. If I could die and come back as a piece of canvas, this would be the one.

btw, you'll notice no scavenger tag on this one, she is not for sale. she will sit in her position, looking down her nose and judging me for all eternity.

Oh so much more!

I posted earlier about AmberAlexander's etsy site. As usual, I did not do my due diligence, cause I'm a slacker. I have since seen her blog and I just about fell off my seat! It is the epitomy of lovely. I LOVE IT! It is charming and whimsical and exploding with talent. I know I am heading into the territory of being overly dramatic, but right now, as I type this I would venture to say that no artwork I have seen recently has made me so happy. With the exception of Fifi Sufois, of course. (yes, I will get around to posting her picture so you can put a face to the name) (of course, Sarah, since you are the only one reading my blog, you've already seen her, so what's the hurry?) I digress...look at her blog. I want to do a gallery wall running all the way down the hallway to my kids play room, with frames exactly like she has on her blog. Yeah, it makes me happy just thinking about!
