This weekend I picked these lovey little autumn daisies on one of my walks… They are the color of the lightest lavender and so tiny! And I wore my new key necklace to the Faire… Two more decorated papers I constructed to cover my handmade books. Acrylic on Reeves Lightweight paper. The swans are cut …

Saturday’s Treasures

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.

And so, today I finished my Autumn Table with blackbird feathers, twigs, moss and much other goodness… Lots of findings from my woodsy walks. Today I took the woodland path less traveled covered in leaves just so I can hear them crackle under my feet. Finally, fall is here! I’m going to savor every single …
Take a look through the mossy peephole…
~Weekend musings…lots of photos of “stuff” outside and inside. click link below: I love shelf mushrooms! When I was little I used to pick them off the tree, take them inside and paint scenes on them.
