... for Good Luck!

A staple in the Southern diet for over 300 years, black-eyed peas have long been associated with good luck. A dish of peas or lentils is a New Year's tradition in most areas, bringing good luck and prosperity for this New Year 2011.

•  "The Yellow Tomato" / e-Stamp (NEW) - click to purchase

Wonderfully delicious and fun, the Yellow Heirloom Tomatoes are open-pollinated rather than genetically modified - and are safe! They have less acid and with a lemony taste, perfect for someone suffering from ulcers who doesn’t want to give up on that delicious, home-grown tomato taste!

Try a Yellow Tomato Gazpacho with Avocados and Cilantro!

Thank You Etsians!

The selller Leaves of Clay created a wonderful "Etsy treasury" showcasing artwork only of TREES! One of those trees was my small painting titled "HAVEN" that is for sale in my Lisa Rivas Etsy store. This treasury was then featured on Etsy's "front page"!

I happen to be away and on vacation when this occurred with no way to capture this moment! So this screen-shot was kindly emailed to me by the following sellers:
leavesofclay, flytie, ElizabethGraf, paperartstudio.
To all of you, thank you, thank you and thank you!
ETSY is an amazing community of artists and artisans
that support, appreciate and cheer each other!
