My dog won’t sit still!

by Barb Hayson August 25, 2022August 25, 2022

I found a new product that will meet the needs of clients who are primarily seeking digital files as well as my firm belief that no image is really complete until it's printed. I absolutely love it and it's the *perfect* size for a coffee table. Available in walnut or maple wood, it's a handmade …
