St. Francis and the Lady
I've had a busy few days of collecting - my newest obsession - the santos! I've recently purchased 2 (reproductions - the antique/vintage ones are a little out of reach for now), though there are some amazing ones here (now I need a reason to go to LA so I can visit that shop).
I got a sweet St. Francis at a great boutique called Queen Bee that's near me. St. Francis is one of my favorites. I went to Assisi in college and it was absolutely the most beautiful and peaceful place ever! I would love to go back.
I also got this lady santos from the same place. She's very pretty and fits into the living room just great.
Off to try to get some things sewn before picking up kids and doing the whole baseball thing for the 3rd night in a row!!
those look great jackie! hey batter, batter swing!

These remind me of an article I read about Mary Emmerling. She also collects religous icons.

I really like the St. Francis. That is really neat that you have visited Assisi!

I just finished reading the most charming and delightful book - Whistling in the Dark by Lesley Kagen. It's written through the eyes of a 10 year old girl, and a really cute reference to St. Francis of Assisi in it.
