"Forestiere Underground Garden, Fresno, in November"

A set of 4 cards is $12.00 plus postage.  You can email me at skoobit@msn.com if you are interested.

The first card of the set is definitely not what you would normally think of when you think of late Autumn.  But in California, at this time, the trees are loaded with oranges, lemons, and grapefruit.  I saw it for myself as we were there for Thanksgiving.  If you're in Fresno you've got to see the Forestiere Underground Garden.  An underground paradise built by one man, Baldassare Forestiere, in the early 1900's with only hand tools.  Beside the gardens he built a home for himself and little shrines as he was very religious.  The fruit all came from Italy. It's absolutely beautiful!

This actually is a scene that we look at whenever we drive to our cabin.  It's so beautiful all year round.  We love it!

"Small Cottage in Holladay, Utah"

My friends and I used to walk by this little tucked in house and we thought it was so cute!  It brings back wonderful memories of when we used to all live in that neighborhood and walk together-rain or shine.  This particular area is especially desirable.  So, it's fun to look at the houses but definitely out in our price range!

"Golden Aspens in the Uintah Mountains"

It's so weird but there are aspens all around our cabin but we've not had any grow there.  Last year Chris and I planted a small group on our property.  We're keeping our fingers crossed that they will take.  I love the sound they make when the wind blows through them. It reminds me of our old cabin in Brighton, Utah.  We called them the money trees because the leaves were round and we picked them so we could play store on the front porch.  We found lots of rocks with fools gold and turquoise colored veins.  So, we sold those to whoever would play with us.  It's a fond memory that I have of my sister, Carrie, and I just playing out in nature.  We loved it!

A GREAT MULTI PURPOSE CARD!

"Mourning Dove at Capital Reef" by Julie Jacobsen

All Rights Reserved

I just knew when we were at Capital Reef-a national park in Utah-and my husband took some pictures of these beautiful massive trees that there had to be a painting in there somewhere.  I love the negative space between the trees.  It's so interesting!  Also it really did look this way:  massive dark trunks, snow, and a peach shaded sky.  Beautiful.  It gave me a feeling of out of darkness can come hope.  I thought this could be a great sympathy card.  The bird was an after thought.  It seemed appropriate and correct that there should be a mourning dove hovering over it all.  It's not necessarily female in flavor, either.  That's why I say it's a good multi purpose card.  It could also be used for birthdays or whatever, since it's blank inside.

I only have 1 set left but if I get 2 more sets ordered it will justify a new printing.  I've had to have these printed 3 times.  That's 75 cards!  It's a popular one.  Anyway they're $12 a set plus postage.  Just email me at skoobit@msn.com.
