I have loved Lynnes work since i first met her. Her work really matches her laid back relaxed personality. I really appreciate her demeanor. She's as thoughtful in life as she is in her pieces and it shows. Her and her husband collaborate on some amazing pieces (Rickie Barnett). I call them "kismet personified" because they're fun and witty and jut really well made. Thanks Lynne for being a part of my little show!
