Many moons ago, when my daughter was just a wee lil babe, my mother in-law gave me the most adorable print, you ever saw! An artists depiction of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I absolutely loved it! Well, in the wake of a new baby, a preemie at that, and many moves we never intended on, I just never seemed to have the time to get it framed. Fast forward nine years, I finally found a pocket of time to have this long lost treasure framed. The framer seemed a little, shall I say - not so impressed, with the shape of the print. And he really turned his nose up at the fact that I wanted Plexiglas in the frame. (Um hello, daughter with Autism doesn't understand glass can hurt you. She likes to take the pictures off of her wall to examine them). Yes, I have motives behind my crazy ideas, Thank you! Okay, I digress. Back to the story at hand. Last Friday, I just picked up the picture, and it was truly worth the wait! I LUV it! Plexiglas and all! In fact, I love it so much, I decided to look up the artist on-line to see if he had any other prints. And much to my surprise, the print I just had framed - sells for $450.00 to $999.00 on-line! WHAT - you say? Yes! (doing the whoot whoot - happy dance here) I have a treasure, just like those on Antiques Road Show! On a more sober note - I think it might be a while before I can get another of his ADORABLE prints! (But, I'm a saving and a searching!)
Here is the picture....
Should you want to check out his other amazing prints - please look up Scott Gustafson on Google. His work is amazing! http://www.scottgustafson.com/
I just can't wait until Jan/Feb when this fabulous picture is finally hanging in Sarlain's newly decorated big girl room!
PS. Many thanks to my Mother in-law Wanda for the picture! xo
