Welcome to Paradise!




Everyone has a place they consider to be paradise. Mine is the beach and that is why I chose the handmade sign above as my favorite. Joanne uses Belizian wood for these custom signs. They are so cheerful and colorful. A sign like this would be perfect for anyone's paradise. Her paintings are equally delightful.
