**heaven upon earth**

Such a sweet set of printing blocks I found this past weekend.  It's really incredible and very old, somewhat brittle; but I am excited to use it in some of my artwork.  The typesets are so delicate and small, I am not sure what it was used for in it's prime, but I can only imagine.  Maybe to do some graphic work when making newspaper ads, or just on some correspondence.  Can't wait to start playing with it. 

Also starting to get quite a collection of these ladies, or lady.  They just make me feel good and protected somehow.  The metal medallion in the middle is of Saint Teresa; of course when I found her I had to snatch it up.  I think my grandma would have liked her too.  I don't remember her having any Saints around her house, well besides Saint Christopher; but we both had the name Teresa, and I am guessing that is where her name came from, was Saint Teresa.  She is the Litttle Flower of Jesus, and it says "I will spend my Heaven doing good upon Earth."  Now isn't that a great attitude!   Let's all be in the moment and make a little Heaven here on earth.
