Shabby Chic - gothic arches



Gothic Arches has as its theme this week: shabby chic. I can do chic, but not too sure about shabby. Is that the same as grunge? Anyway, I am entering this arch containing a picture of one of my paintings of a shabby barn with the chic Mrs. Sallie Rhea, one of my ancestors,  in the foreground.
