A few years ago while browsing a local yard sale I found this sweet little watercolor of a campanula/harebell. On the back was this inscription:

The little picture is doubly precious to me because of the signature and inscription.It is one of my treasures and hangs on my bedroom wall. I have often wondered who Daisy was, and if she lived in this area. My one regret is that she did not date the back of the back of the painting. I am reminded by this to always date the back of my own work, and as a lesson from Daisy, always title and give an explanation of the work if possible.

Another small treasure I have had in my possession for even longer is this small watercolor and stamp art painting that is signed “Souvenir Quebec.” On the back is a stamped address:

I searched the Internet and came up with the history of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary.
