Little pink houses

The Bigass Indie Art and Craft Show is over and I've got everything back in my house but boy is it a mess. Need to sort through all the odds and ends and get everything back in its place.

In anticipation of the show I made a bunch of prints of photos I'd never printed before. I'll be listing some of those in my Etsy shop in the coming weeks.

This one, Viola, just went up tonight. The listing is here.

It's a photo on my grandparents' farm in Kansas. The house in the front was the house when I was little. At some point they acquired the house behind it and painted it pink to match the main house. It's named The Little House and it was a studio for my grandparents -- Grandma painted, Grandpa was a photographer.

Years later they added another house (not pictured) to the bunch, and painted it pink, too. It's known as The Shop -- my uncle has various fix-it projects in there, as well as antiques that he sells.

St. Louis Handmade is a relatively new blog with a mission of promoting local handmade goods.

They were kind enough to include this photo in their Saturday Showcase today.

Keep an eye out there -- really neat stuff being featured regularly!





(This photo was taken in Kansas, near where my cousin lives. Off to the left there was a homestead of some ancestor -- I can't remember who. My oldest sister keeps track of our genealogy.)
