OK...here goes....
" The human heart has hidden treasures in secret kept, in silence sealed, the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, whose charms are broken if revealed."
- Charlotte Bronte
Ruth! This is too good to be true ~ are you really giving this treasure away! Oh I hope I win! I hope I win!
Seriously, what a treasure. Your talent is amazing!
Crystal
I am in total awe of your talent. All fingers, toes and eyes are crossed (by everyone I'm sure who wants to win this beautiful creation)
OK for my favorite quote, I have a couple of them...but how about
Seek the wisdom of the ages but look at the world thru the eyes of a child.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to have a chance to win

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful, generous giveaway! Please enter my name and as for the quote, I have to many! So, if I win I will either decide on a short one or I will leave it up to you. You are amazing! Please stop by my giveaway too.
Hi Ruth,
I would love to be entered in your drawing. Your work is always beatiful! As for the words:
"Though torn and mended, my beauty & usefulness remain."
The dress reminds me of a piece of old feed sack material that my Mom somehow still had that belonged to her Mother and that I asked for when my Mom was going to throw it out. It had been used to make a bag, perhaps for laundry, and had been mended several times. I intend to make something with it one day as it seems to still have some of my grandmother's spirit attached to it.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Hi Ruth, I love your art and would consider it an honour and a blessing to win your beautiful creation. I collect quotes and love so many it's hard to choose one favourite but I have always loved the Psalms.
The LORD is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength.
If you have time please pop by my blog to sign up for my giveaway.

this is a truly lovely idea. don't know if this is too long (i could cut it down), but here's my quote:
"I shall sometimes look back at the freshness of vision I had in childhood and
try, at least for a little while, to be, in the words of Lewis Carroll, the
‘child of the pure unclouded brow, and dreaming eyes of wonder.’"
