Between winter snow flurries I've witnessed a flurry of a different sort. A short while back, a collector purchased The Friend Who Writes Letters Longhand. When Longhand found out she'd be moving to new digs at the end of February she was very excited!
Then a few weeks later, the same collector expressed interest in purchasing The Friend Who Uses an Enameled Spoon as a Postcard and inquired as to whether I thought Longhand and Enameled Spoon would "go together" well.
Omg! Matchmaking!
We both agree they'll make an adorable couple. Plus, they have in common their inclination to correspond in ways other than standard social media. Really, what are the chances?
Well! Longhand got all in a dither when she found out Enamaled Spoon would also be moving to the same new digs at the end of February! She immediately pulled off the years-old, insubstantial tired shirt she had on and spent much of Saturday ratting through her closet looking for something to wear on moving day—she tried on this, tried on that, tossed stuff on the bed, discarded items on the floor, preened in front of a mirror, and tested touches of makeup before she finally settled on a look that showed off her features to alluring advantage without being over the top.
She's a little more relaxed now, but she is counting the days till moving day.

I don’t know what fascinates me more, your art or your writing- both are amazing. Can’t wait to see//hear more about this couple!
omg what an adorable couple! And a sweet story of THE BEST kind of matchmaking! That's one lucky collector!
Thx, Joje! Totally had fun with both the art and the writing! I'm eager to see these two cuties framed and hanging in their new digs.
Jen, not often that I'm involved in matchmaking —— this was a fun adventure. Not to mention the adventure of getting "Longhand" outfitted when I can barely dress myself to any degree of fashion!
I love them!
and how wonderful you sold them ;-)!
They're fun together, yes? I hadn't thought about relationships between these painted friends prior to now!
It really is an honor to have a painting find its way into the world because someone else is pulled to it, and the experience inevitably opens new spaces in my energy field.
Hahahahaahahaha! Awesome Dotty! :)
Thanks, Sheila. Two weeks till blind date : )
