who is ben ash...?

2 years ago i bought this pretty lady at an estate sale on my way home from church in

  huntington beach:  a really overpriced estate sale!! 

 i was on my way out when i spotted her face hanging on a wall  in the living room.

to my complete shock there was a red tag on her saying $1. i grabbed her off the wall so fast, gave them my buck, came home and quickly found a home for her. 

like i stole her or something.

fast forward 2 years.

just 2 days ago was at the goodwill in huntington beach

one that i frequent often 

this is where i spotted this handsome face for all of $6.99.

again...i grabbed him, paid my dollars, quickly ran out of the store headed home knowing i had the perfect spot for him to hang.

while hanging him, i was looking at all the markings on the back. 

artist name: BEN ASH

while rehanging her, this name BEN ASH was staring me in the face.

is that weird? 

who is this BEN ASH? could it have been that these 2 

had been hanging together in his house? 

i looked him up. he's not a famous anyone, he may not even be alive anymore. 

 come on, i believe i was meant to have this handsome couple hanging together in my house.

they are a perfect match! 

to BEN ASH's family... i want you to know that i will treasure these pictures for the rest of my life. 

i promise i will never allow this pair to be broken apart again, 

even when they are passed down to my girls. 

they belong together 

don't you agree?

i love them!!
