Hi Lori,
Just want to send a pic of our Barre Ewe. I am delighted to have her so close all the time! My husband framed her in unfinished cherry - he said he thought of the frame as weathering like a barn - with museum quality glass. Directly behind my desk is a hearing test booth, and patients are in and out all day. Many comment on her, and I always direct them to you! Thank you again for your wonderful work!

Maine Sept 2012

We spent the evening of September 16 at The Salty Ewe Farm. Accommodations in the converted barn were convenient and cozy. In the morning, the view out our windows onto the sheep pasture was stunning. The flock -- Olde English Babydoll Southdown -- are very very wooly and shorter than most fleece sheep. A bit like teddy bears, honestly. After walking our dogs, I grabbed a camera and a grocery bag and headed down to the sheep barn and vegetable garden. The host/shepherd was long gone off to work, so I spent some quiet time with the animals and the scenery. It was a GREAT start to our trip up to Spruce Head.
