smiling places

 head dresses of lace and ribbons

 candlesticks of tree droppings

dearest lichen forms

this is where i have been for the last ten days or so.  lots of things smiling at me and waiting in the wings to add to my etsy shop.  

returning to my favorite things...flower forms, lace, ribbons, silk, wool...textiles that smile at me in my world:)
hoping to have them soon in my etsy shop to meet with and soften the nutty world that is there now.

places

 collected droppings from the central coast.

 collected chairs in miniature from ebay.

 collected linen thread from lithuania.  (here)

collected caps soon to be in my etsy shop in these tiny container forms.

collected tiny silk embroidery ribbons, old silk organza and old lace celebrated here in these pouches.

tonight...more olympics and a cauliflower cheddar soup we love from the jamie oliver food revolution cookbook.

i love life slowly in so many places and maybe that is why it takes me so long to get here to share.

i have gathered a few new ingredients from time away and i am so excited to put them all in play in my work but first a visit to all the places that returning from a holiday requires:)
