From when I was down in March when Lizzy told him that Paul had come to see him and he asked if there was going to be a viewing and should we charge admission. And when I kiddingly asked him wasn't it great to have 3 such talented daughters and he said it was the first thing he thought of every morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569019575412363906.post-68616966267687096642015-02-07T19:04:14.129-08:002015-02-07T19:04:14.129-08:00lol Oh Teensy, so fun to read.

As painful as it is to watch him slip away, it is also kind to us who love him so dearly. We get to loose a little piece one day at a time while we get to have all of him at the same time..... nothing can prepare you, but still so so sweet. Our Daddy is so so sweet.

So I'll get right to it. I am most drawn to the produce. Single pear, side by side pear, blossoms at ranch, Pom. 1, heirloom toms. I love the whole concept and all the ideas everyone had to share. So excited to see what the final project looks like and hear how it is received.<br />VickiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569019575412363906.post-69473871920299364312014-09-26T19:35:07.132-07:002014-09-26T19:35:07.132-07:00hmmmmmm "An award winning quintet if I do say...hmmmmmm "An award winning quintet if I do say so". Teddy, is that you!? lol Anyway, they look good Teensy, and I like Coco's suggestion (email) about other farm tools, not just the big ones, but smaller ones. Sometimes you look at some "old' tool and say what the heck is that? Interesting conversation piece? I also liked her idea of switching with the season. It would be fun for you to put your "next "collection together to switch out for each season. I like produce used for holiday displays.

The feedback has been very helpful. I printed a few up today and saw that I needed to tweak them a little. The running favorites from the votes so far are the radishes and the pears. I printed the radishes up today and they did come out pretty good. Single pear came out too dark so I lightened it and re-posted it. You probably can't really from looking at the blog. I plan to take more pictures of actual farms and farm equipment as per some of the suggestions. Additionally, I have eliminated some because the image isn't as sharp or focused as I would like. Also I have added a pomegranate. I'm very motivated. Thank you all once again!!

You could have a little card and price with each piece.( I see that with art displayed places). If one sold you could bring in an other. Keep the look fresh, by replacing them periodically.

While the piles of produce are quite colorful and pretty, they are not as unique as some of your others. I agree with Katie about the corn field. It reminds me of the Van Gough painting of a lark in the sky above a windy field of grass and flowers. Do you know the one? I think the Sunflower High D is very damatic, Swiss Chard 3 because it's not obviously chard but so pretty, the side by side pears just lovely, the mushrooms again because it's different and I like the color/composition. I like the little shed with the flowers, but it's more personal, and not as perfect in the setting. I feel like I need to pick one with a farm in it, but don't know.... I don't love them as much. But that is 5 for me and I don't get any more anyway. lol Good job going for it Teensy! What are your favorites?
