I am a very lucky person for many reasons. I get to make a living from creating art everyday while working out of my home studio. That's pretty cool. My husband is my best friend and he makes me laugh daily, often multiple times a day. So that's even better. My home is by the ocean, and- additionally- on our walk on any given day and in any given season, I can see flowers blooming. This, too, is really neat. So when I tell you that I'm extra lucky because I actually have a mother-in-law who I like AND enjoy spending time with, well... that's just not something a person hears everyday. But it's true. She's pretty darn great.This is what I love about Pam... She's a big fan of the wonderful vibrancy of color and her home attests to that. Pops of rich and dynamic hues play off throw pillows, area rugs, artwork, bedding, plates and mugs and clothing. She's traveled all over the world and can find something to appreciate everywhere she visits. Pam writes poetry abundant with imagery; in fact, she wrote and read a poem for mine and Sebastian's wedding. It was perfect.
But mainly I love Pam because she's a friend... present, generous, patient and kind.
