Why) We had
just finished shopping at the nearby Petco when I spotted this
nicely named bookstore and convinced Pam to venture inside. I
did not know that it was a religious bookstore until I walked
in the door. As it turned out, my favourite items were
artistic images and many of the best ones had a special
energetic beauty that seemed to come from the religious part.
I did not take any pictures in the store so what you see below
is either from their website
or is images of items that I purchased. 
This framed canvas is titled His Holy House by Sandra Rast. (2)
Even if it had been on sale for $200 I still would have purchased ...
This framed piece is titled Dear to the Heart by Simon Dewey. (3)
I might have bought it as a gift for my grandmother if it had been selling for $200 but it wasn't so instead ...
