country time

another wonderful weekend in the country!

a little joy

( long story short)

baby momma, aka beanie's mom

who has been missing for 18 months

showed up a month ago

and i thought she was a look a like

but after spending time with her

i now know it is her

anyways, she gave birth to 3 beautiful babies

last saturday morning

she is such a good momma

i'm overjoyed to have her home

more from the cne

it's that time of year again!

for those of you who live in or near toronto know................

when you hear the commercial singing

"let's go to the ex................"

it signifies, fun and games, rides, concerts, air show

and lots and lots of food!!!
it also reminds us that the summer is coming to an end

so get out there and enjoy!!!!

flower or weed??

no matter what, they are beautiful to me
(after playing around in ps with a few photo filters, clipping mask

and texture from shadowhouse)

sharing ideas

last year i met irina pertseva at a local craft show

i loved her wire work so i bought one of her heart and stone necklace

i was wearing one of my celtic twist wire necklaces

and irina asked if she could take a photo and use the idea for her work

i said of course

sharing ideas is what makes the world go round

i knew that her jewelry would inspire me to try something new, which it did

today i saw her again and was amazed by her new stuff

and i was happy to see that i did inspire her to create the above necklace
i just had to buy it!!!

beautiful and graceful,

varied and enchanting,

small but approachable,

butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life

and everyone deserves a little sunshine.
