that there's a 1978, signed Charles Harper...and I am one lucky & grateful girl.
I got it last weekend at an estate sale for 60% off the original price.
the only thing that could make this story any better is if I had gotten there earlier & bought the other print they had as well.
but I'm not complaining...oh no...I'm looking at it & sending out a big thank you into the universe.
{p.s. have a great weekend & if you're interested in the shop update check back here Saturday for more info, although the actual update will be on Sunday}

I am *so* jealous!!! That's a fantastic find!!!!
Wow. Awesome find! Enjoy it. (I know you will.)
Oh. My. G*d. That is the score of the century! You should definitely have it appraised!
(awed silence)
*GAAAAAAAAAAAASP* I almost dropped my teeth when I saw that, and I don't wear dentures!!!!!!!! Holy cow you did good! I can only DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure wish you lived next door. I'd have you out thrifting with me every single day, lol.
Congrats on the great find!
Of course you were destined to find this- you were born in the Year of the Rooster!

All I can say is WOW! I adore Charley Harper and have since I was a kid and got The Golden Book of Biology (which I still have). This is one of the most glorious of his prints I have ever since.
That rooster has such character. That caterpillar is going to be so sorry he decided to wait until tomorrow to build his chrysalis.
Keep Stitching,

Oh. My. Lord. Charley Harper is my favorite modern artist. As soon as I saw the print, I thought - "no way, she couldn't possibly have thrifted it." I think your title of thrifting queen can now be conferred with confidence. Congrats!
thanks everyone! I didn't think I could love this print any more but thanks to my sister Mern & her reminding me that I was born in the year of the rooster it has even more meaning :)
Wow... lucky, lucky!! I've been wanting to go to an estate sale because I hear about so many little treasures getting found for a great price! :D
So so jealous! You are lucky!!
I am so pleased for you! It's a wonderful print and to have it signed, all just fantastic for you.
i join the jealous brigade ... i just returned the big book to the library.... congratulations!
Wow. That's some find! Green with envy!
Ughh, I was just looking at this on his website! I am so jealous, wonderful find!
I would kill to find a large print like this of the baboon from the Old Navy cards.
That is too cool! I've never been to an estate sale. I've never even heard of an opportunity to attend an estate sale around here...
