Happy early birthday to Joni of Cote de Texas. A few weeks ago I posted a birthday illustration for Anna of Absolutely Beautiful Things created by the wonderful Patricia van Essche. Joni left a note that her birthday was on the 20th of November and Patricia read the comment. A few days later Patricia emailed me to say that she had an idea and wanted to commemorate Joni’s birthday in a special way. Here is the fantastic result of Patrica’s amazing talent (she never ceases to surprise me). Happy early birthday Joni!
Patricia is so gifted! Happy early Birthday Joni!
Absolutely WONDERFUL! I adore it! The best gift ever. Darling.

A coveted gift from the exponentially talented PVE!!! As a fellow Texan, I love the card, because of course, I love Texas and I also love France. So I am living vicariously through Joni. What a thoughtful thing to do, PVE.
