handmade books and such
An update! I made a little photo collage to show what I have been up to… Now that the clocks have been turned back it gets dark SO early…4:00! I think my weekday forest meanderings are over for the season. I have to change my walking route to go through the well-lit town. And…my first …
handmade books, lockets and patchwork tights
I have so many things to update, my head is spinning. Hopefully tomorrow I can sift through the photos and format. Handmade books, giant lockets, art. I need to shift my focus now. Less crafts, more painting… sketching, the clay sculptural figures and shadow boxes I have been meaning to create, daily work in my …

Handmade books, pretty vintage clothes, sundrops…
…and fallen leaves! Just took a much needed walk through the woods..and to my surprise the trees are mostly bare! Puts me in a sort of sad mood as I have been thinking a lot lately of my heart flip flops, yellow and iced tea. I changed my clothesline inspiration catchall to accommodate a clipping …

My Wedding Creations
Last Thursday was our wedding anniversary…three years already! I was reminiscing about the long months before the wedding I spent making all sorts of decorations and goodies. The photos show just a teeny tidbit of what I made for our day… My favorite- mossy faerie cottage centerpieces for all 12 tables! The “cottages” even have …

While rummaging through a box of hippie clothes to a yard sale this morning I found this fabulous emeraldy green/ deep turquoise sparkly sari…perfect …
Rose Hips
Rose hips I picked along the trail today. Pulled out my “Flower Fairies of the Autumn” book to find the corresponding poem. They matched the ‘hips in the illustration perfectly. Satisfies my craving for MORE vivid red, can you believe it. Also bought some fancy ribbon to tie my birdies around my neck, choker style. …
little ballerina flats
A bit spring-oriented but I just LOVE little skimmer/ ballet flats. They are so light, bright and pixie-ish. I usually don’t post pictures that aren’t my own, but I made a photo collage of my shoe desires for fun and just HAD to post. I especially adore the canary yellow ones. Second favorite is the …
portals
I love bright, vivid red! One of my most favorite colors. I recently took some quick inspirational pics of “portals” -skeleton keys and doorways and holes in trees and such. All red! First drink some of this. Aren’t these bottle so adorable? I don’t even know what it is, but they were for sale Whole …
