Landscapes

Landscapes is a set of postcards of watercolor paintings done while on and inspired by the summer roadtrip I went on with my family from Iowa to the Westcoast via the Grand Canyon.

Finding it to be clear

In our mailbox...

 Such a lovely thing to see.  The whole house was smelling so good.  I love the card as well:•)

 The last of our plants, hanging on during these chillier fall nights and days.

Putting her gift to use...  Jesse!  Thank you:)  for sending me the most wonderful hand-picked bundles of desert sage.  Beautiful package:^)  I always enjoy reading here to see her and her lovely family.  That's the truth.  Having lots to do today needing to mail some things off, kids take their class photos and we got a new kitty.    

Some New THings

So excited to announce Palace in Portland, Oregon as a stockist of Ancient Pocket necklaces.  The owner Charlotte is amazing and her custom order has been very much goodtimes:)))

 If you live in Portland, OR and are going to be around this Saturday go and check out the Equinox event she is participating in. Looks like fun and she'll be showcasing the Ancient Pocket line there along with some great makers and other really lovely shops.

More here. Thanks Palace:•)

Four Things

Prickly Pear for Emma

Here is a necklace I made for a trade with Emma.  She mailed me a beautiful hanging pot she had made.  The Prickly Pear necklace is sealed with a glaze beeswax, palm wax, coconut oil and copal- making the wax was quite the experiment but I definitely enjoyed it.  The wooden beads are from a stick my husband and I found near our house and he shaped and sanded away so I could paint a little something and I sealed it with the wax.  The string on the necklace is dyed w/ onion skin.  I hope she will get some wear out of it:)  Anyhow, had fun making it!  Her tumblr is beautiful and she is the sweetest:•))))

Been working dutifully on a couple things and a few things finished.  More soon.

Two Things

Supernatural

Iris has finished her first full week of school and today is C's birthday. 

Have a good weekend.

A Nice Surprise

In the mail...  Thank you MK!  I loved every bit of this package.  The beaded weaving she made (now hanging in my living room) is really beautiful and has me awestruck, and the space / time zine is so good.  A very happy day when this came (yesterday).  She is great.
