I recently learned that Sue Cook chose this photo of my Entrance Hall for her website gallery. What an incredible honor! I have been on Cloud Nine all the live-long day. Even the freezing temperatures today --highs in the low teens (Fahrenheit) couldn't get me down. "I'm in Sue Cook!" was my Mantra for the Day! I am bubbling over in awesomeness.
Incidentally, our very own Simon Williams has new pics posted in Sue's Gallery as well! Congratulations, Si!

It is so thrilling that my very first miniature room is on Sue Cook's Gallery! I think I just might celebrate by running down to Happy Hour --it's three-for-ones, children! And it's Friday! Happy Friday, all!
Whoo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations John! I am not at all surprised that she would want to show your work..... it is STUNNING! I'm so glad to hear that it has warmed you through and through.....that cold stuff is heading my way and I'm NOT looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your happy hour(s)!
Well done my Friend, I'm SO excited for you, me, us both?! Seriously though John, your work is both incredible and inspiring, compounded by your modesty. I'll get the next round...

Oh John,
ReplyDeleteWhat an honour, you must be so proud!!!
It is well deserved too, the room IS fabulous. Keep up the great work john, I'm sure there will be more accolades to come.

Congratulation John! His work is very good and one deserves to be in Sue Cook's catalogue!! An enormous embrace and happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you guys. I love waking up on a Saturday to a mailbox full of sweet comments from my fellow blogger friends! Your comments, suggestions (and general hand-holding through the tough parts) are so appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI never made it out to Happy Hour, Betsy --too miserably cold outside! But we made seasonal 'Tom & Jerrys' at home, which was an even better, if quieter, celebration.
Well, one more cup of coffee and it's off to mix up some paint for the Drawing Room!
Thanks again, everyone! X
Congratulations, John. How fabulous for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations John! I've just been looking at the gallery, it looks great! I bet you are over the moon John! Congrats to Si too! Both of your hard work has payed off!!
ReplyDeleteThe drinks are on me! (you like tea? right? lol!)
Hugs xx

Sounds great John,
ReplyDeletenot sure I've ever seen any cola-flavoured carbonated beverage before, it's obviously not well advertised!! ;)
I'll join you in one of those Long Island Iced Teas to celebrate! ;)
Congratulations!
