The Rose notecards and photos have been selling ever since Maria took them over. The “Rose and Roses” notecards series sold out quickly, but Maria found six more five-card packs this afternoon and is putting them up on her website this evening. They cost $15 plus shipping, depending on where you are. She can also be e-mailed directly at [email protected]. She is thinking of offering some photo prints of Rose in the misty, shots of her herding the sheep in the early morning fog.
