Deb Trotter's COWBOY'S SWEETHEART art website
Deb has created a perfect website to display her collage art
to visitors and collectors.
Layers of paint, fabric, metal, photographs and clay are all used in such a way that tell a story
and evoke personal emotions: melancholy, longing, reverence, joy, humor. Based in Wyoming, her love of the wild west comes through in her art, you can't
help but get caught up in her enthusiasm and want to see more. Her cowgirl-inspired site is easy to navigate, evocative and appealing to the eye.
One of the finest
collage artists you'll see anywhere, a visit to her way-out-west website
is fun and a must-see. I'm privileged to have her work in my home, it inspires and excites me! See
for yourself at:

For the second year in a row, The Chocolate Gecko has
received the Award for "Best Chocolates in the Hudson Valley"
from Hudson Valley Magazine.
Tip from Skystone: the Galapagos Turtles
are enormous and TDF!
"If you are not feeling well, if you have not
slept, chocolate will revive you. But you have no chocolate! I think
of that again and again! My dear, how will you ever manage?" Marquise de Sevigne, February 11, 1677
A visit to Lissa's website
should clear up that dilemma for all of us. ;-)
