This weekend at the Geneva Art Fair, I purchased a watercolor from D. L Brown Watercolors of Warrenville, IL. Right in my backyard, Don Brown captures small town nostalgia in watercolors with vibrant colors that mimic the storefronts and porcelain signs of the past. The wierd thing was he drew a sign from a storefront in Le Claire IA, I pass by all the time. Had to have it, a little piece of home.
John Caruso of Caruso Photo, captures light hearted images that tweak my smile every time I pass his booth. I’ve started collecting photographs for a wall above my dresser. Most are fun little images that help kick start my day. All framed in white, it’s the little things that are fun in life.

I am curious about the painting of Krouse’s Drug Store. My parents met just after WWII in Warrenville, IL and the story my father told me was my mother was working in a drug store at the soda fountain and he fell in love with her right then and there. She made an awesome ice cream thick shake. Was this an actual drug store in Warrenville around that time?
