You have impeccable taste, Valarie, and a large dose of talent in showing it. This is quite an unusual photo with those cool shadow patterns reflected in the cobalt blue. A treasured wall hanging that will go nicely with the vases when you actually bring them home. It's 10 months to your birthday, but nothing is impossible. #8586182Tommy E. Burgess May 03, 2010
