Hey there! Thanks for sharing about your experiences with the economy...the more I think about your situation, the more I think its a blessing in disguise, with the pressure to hone your craft and get out there and do art..and therefore getting where you are today. Best of luck to you and your husband...we will all weather this economy :-)

And of course, love this piece!
