My Prints are for Sale here at Inspiration Point

I thought I’d put a different kind of post today to put a spotlight on a great little shop that sells my prints; “Inspiration Point” in Buffalo, NY.

Sandy owns the shop which has all kinds of spiritual and inspirational gifts, books, incense, music, note cards, candles and well of course, My Prints! If you look on the wall behind her you’ll see a large framed Limited Edition print of my painting “Morrigan” for sale. Sandy is just great to chat with about things; life, hope, dreams, she’s a most encouraging and enlightened soul!

Shopping at Inspiration Point

I usually come out of there with something, last time it was a string of brass bells that I hung in my studio. Every time I walk in and out I have them hanging so they just get bumped enough to chime, bells can clear energy so well. She has singing bowls there too, ask her how to use them and she’ll let you try them out. Wonderful to hold in your hand while it hums out it’s tone..the vibration is terrific! And don’t forget to ask her about upcoming classes and workshops.

Well I hope you visit Sandy and tell her you came to see my prints too! They’re against the back wall with the books, keeping cozy and she has a basket of them to look through.

“We Are None of Us Perfect”

I was creating note cards from my butterfly photos and noticed this one, though beautiful, has a torn wing. I thought about how so many of us have some kind of physical difficulty, or imperfection, but just go on with our lives. It inspired me to write a small poem that appears on the inside of this inspirational card.

“We are none of us perfect…” by MaryMcandrew

Please click on the title above to see the glossy note card in my shop. If you click on my name it’ll take you to my Zazzle Shop where I have many note cards for sale featuring my photographs and paintings of nature and landscapes. The poem is below.

We Are None of Us Perfect

We are none of us perfect,
From the outside perhaps,
Torn and tattered.
Broken
Parts not working.

But on the inside
Who knows us better
Than ourselves?
Or those who love us?

We are all bright shining
Lights of love and beauty!
