I'm having a fund raiser because I've had some unexpected expenses crop up lately and I'm saving to buy a new pair of glasses. I live on a very very fixed income, so if you can help by sending me a donation of what ever you can afford is highly appreciated. Every little bit helps, $5, $10, $15, whatever. All donations over $25 gets you four handmade art cards. I'll select four cards at random, sign them, and send them to you via the snail mail once I get your qualifying donation.

Any and all help is appreciated.

The illustrated life (Fritz Eichenberg edition)

All these beautiful illustrations come from a book called Mistress Masham's Repose.
