Talk about a rabbit hole!

It’s almost time for my monthly Shutterstock subscription to roll over again. If I don’t choose 10 images to download, I lose them, and my money.

The problem is not finding 10 images, it’s choosing 10 images. The one above inspired a new collection category, “Color Combinations.”

That search took me down and around the rabbit hole! I chose the following image because it’ll make a great greeting card:

I discovered this quilt:

It needed an identifying plaque, but I have no doubt it was done by the Ashe County Piecemaker’s Guild. 

The mountain scene in the middle reflects the view from the courthouse.


I had to get a close-up of the cows!Then, I found this print in the second floor lounge.


I got the artist’s name on this one:


I’ll have to see if I can find her online.
