Blessings From Above - New Art + a little instant gratification


After I wrote about the sweet surprise my dad had for my mom here, I wanted to capture that special feeling and put it on canvas. Something that would remind me of the deeper and long lasting love of family and encourage me to be the type of person who thinks of others and tries to be a blessing in their lives.
 (Even if you have to be a little sneaky - thanks dad!)

So I created this canvas called Blessings from Above.  I love looking at it everyday!

 (I'm trying something new and have added an Instant Digital Download section to my Etsy Shop - that way you can buy art online and download art straight to your computer and print it out yourself - instant gratification - online art - no waiting! ) 
 


Hope you have a blessed week!
Love, Steph

Excellent Adventures: Blenheim Palace

One of our favorite (or favourite if we're British) places we visited on our Excellent Adventure to London was Blenheim Palace. One our way to the Palace we toured the Costwolds and stopped off in Cogges Farm and Bampton (two locations where they film Downton Abbey). We even happened across a pre-production crew getting everything ready to film the following week.

 
 
Blenheim Palace was built in 1705 as a gift to John Churchill, the 1st Duke of Marlborough and military commander, to celebrate the victory over the French in the War of Spanish Succession.  


How'd you like this for your front door?

 Just in case you wanted something to read.


Inside their Chapel with the famous Willis Organ.

Birthplace of Winston Churchill in 1874.

2000 Acres of Gardens: Rose Garden, Water Terraces, Italian Garden, Secret Garden, Marlborough Hedge Maze, Butterfly House, Lavender Garden and many more.





Here's an overhead view that I got from their website - it's over 12,500 acres. 


Happy Adventuring!
Love, Steph
