I am interested in the Haitian countryside scene and the Signed Haitian Impressionistic. How should we proceed?
Hi Sandra - Where are you located? In Mexico, the USA or where?
Let me know that and then we can proceed, but , basically if you're not in Mexico, you'll need to mail a 50% deposit check to me, then I will get the items to the USA, find out the cost of shipping (for those two pieces it will be nominal). I'll let you know the balance. Once received, then the items will be mailed to you with 2 day delivery.
I'm in the US. Should I mail you an actual check?
My email address is babsofsanmiguel@yahoo.com. Let's discuss this via email. OK?
Wonderful pieces. Funny how much in common you can have with someone you dont "know" - once upon a time I studied in Hatian Studies (and took 3 years of creole at my university) .
Then I moved to Mexico and the Spanish has taken over the language portion of my brain I am afraid :) would need quite a bit more practice to get back the conversationally fluent level of Creole I was in college. To think, I used to speak with my teacher (in class and out of class) in 100% creole and now I cant even get by in the language.
Good luck with the sale! Very unique items, will move quickly I am sure.
Mami - How Fascinating! Where did you grow up and go to college? Where do you live in Mx? I hope our paths cross some day. I think we could sit and talk for HOURS!
Do you have books on Haitian art and artists? It's hard to find out about the older artists! Tell me more.......
