There's something about Mary, isn't there? She's an icon. A pioneer. An original. Her work brings out something good in each of us. You know a 'Mary' when you see one.
If you've had the honor of meeting Mary in person, you recognize right away that she's authentic and rare. Just like her work. And just like our girlfriends in Haiti. I know Mary's heart reaches out to these kindred souls, these women who are one-of-a-kind.
Her sought-after originals don't become available very often. So what an honor it is for us to give you the rare opportunity to own an original piece of art by Mary Engelbreit.
We will be auctioning "A Small Circle of Friends" beginning today with the auction ending on Friday, March 5, at 12 noon (cst).

Framed Size: 15¾ x 15¾; ¼" Pale Pink Metal Frame with 1½" White Mat
