“Good things come in small packages” my Auntie said to me……….
So much of my artwork is inspired by my family, old memories, old photographs and times gone by. I feel it much more important to hold those memories close as I get older.
This pendant/Art Journal is inspired by my Aunt Jeanette – my “Auntie” – {when I was little I couldn’t say Jeanette}. She passed away in the late 70’s when I was in 7th grade. We had a very close bond.. She was my Mom’s oldest sister, 10 years older than my Mom. She was sort of like my Mom’s second Mother. Auntie had no children and so she spoiled me like I was her own.
She had a love of miniatures and all things tiny. She would tell me stories of how she always dreamed of a having a doll house to fix up and decorate just the way she wanted. I think this might have been a way to keep her thinking young. So in 1973, she had a doll house custom built for her. It was golden yellow, looked like a beautiful farmhouse with a big front porch and bay window in the front and a side porch off one side. It had a gorgeous winding staircase. It was built by hand and she paid $300 for it. I bet you can picture how my eyes lit up the first time I saw it. To a little girl, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen – it even had a chandelier and a miniature sized Tiffany style lamp that lit up!
She would tell me “Lindy Lu Lu, good things come in small packages”. I believed her.
