Points of View

We live in a significantly different world today, I believe our blue planet is essentially a very harmonious, beautiful and wondrous place.

I also feel that it is up to us, all of us... all of you especially the artists to search out, discover, expose and share with as many people as possible all the visual happiness and audible delights our world has to offer!

There is definitely more good in the world than bad and now its more important than ever to show the extraordinary splendor that surrounds us.

Despite a busy schedule, devote special time to express your artistic aspirations by whatever means necessary... through art, music, poetry, dance, sports, cooking, sewing, gardening and yes.... even joyful daydreaming!

Make definite, but remarkable efforts everyday in whatever small way you can to move forward with grace into love and beauty.

Progress with compassion, live in hope, unity and tranquillity.

Suffer less and give more by remembering that there are resoundingly beautiful places to be found in our hearts and in our souls.

The stars so politely share their sparkling light with us each and every night and so artists must continually share their works,

not only do we have a duty to ourselves but to others as well.

Echo your love in your art, our reward will be simply knowing we have left something positively wonderful to history!

Note: Did you see the tiny little Chihuahuas silhouette in the fifth photograph!

An Unusual Easter Bunny

If on Sunday your Easter basket

is filled

with the wrong

sized eggs this year....

whether they be two sizes too small

or exceptionally extra large...

and if your Easter treats

happen to arrive a day or three late....

here is the reason why!

The Tea Cup Easter Bunny

is a

sleepy head,

you see

she was out late at a bunny party!

Sending Happy Easter Greetings to one and all!

Finding my Light

We are all starting to settle into our new place...

Curious wonders are around every corner, like a neighbors cat that also sits in his window looking over at our girl Alex.

I take our monkey Julliette (she's really a Chihuahua, but don't try to tell her that) on long walks, checking out our new community,

we stumbled upon a giant old rose bush a few blocks away in a large clearing.

You could smell their sweet scent long before you could see them!

This magnificent specimen was at least seven feet tall and had the shape of a dancing waterfall as it swayed gently in the wind.

It was smothered in fat, fluffy, puffy pink blooms with deep purple centers... hundreds of

wild Texas roses created a most spectacular and welcoming display.

Back at home... everything is different, but mostly the same. I think we are going to love it here!
Home Sweet Home.

MAGIC REALM

Does your life ever just get completely away from you, things get so busy you can't tell which is up and what is down?! I have a little confession to make... We moved into a beautiful new home, I'm very happy but swamped with many "To Do" lists! I'm in the midst of packing and unpacking and going absolutely bonkers... like when the movers came in and told me they couldn't fit our very large bookcase through the front door without removing the door jam...?!*%$#@&... What would you like us to do lady?!! I had to secretly retreat to the closet (which by the way is where my puppy & kitty where temporarily being held to keep them safe & out of harms way) thats where my husband found me sitting on the floor, having a cup of tea and murmuring to the cat and dog about the movers.

But.... I have found that there are moments of utter and true magic in all things! As I unwrapped and began placing items in their new spot, here and there, I casually sat an antique crystal fob down on top of a mirror momentarily while I went to search out some string with which to hang it... upon returning with said string my jaw dropped...

My eyes opened wide in disbelief and wonder at site that lay before me!

Thank you, I whispered to no one - or some one in particular, be it as it may... and ran to dig out my camera!

I guess sometimes all the planets align and magic happens right under our noses! Astonishing beauty and serenity is always there - hidden just slightly out of view - the light hits it just right, it sparkles at you and sings to you in tingles and twinkles and comes to life! Saying ... Hey! Look at me, Do you see me?!

See me! I did see...
Yes, Thank You to the powers that be for not only allowing me to see and experience this magic but to capture it too!

It's beauty was blinding and deafening, brilliantly peaceful & uproariously outrageously loud all at once.

I have somehow mistakenly been allowed to enter a magic realm, yes Thank You... I whispered again.

And so back to reality..... In the weeks and months to come I will be placing up for sale in my Etsy shop lots of wonderful things!

Precious items I have kept in my private collection for may years! You don't realize how much stuff you have until you move!

Fabulous little rarities and obscure curiosities. I feel it is time to pass along for others to enjoy, after all, we are just temporary guardians of these treasures...

Come back and check my ETSY shop for new items! Until next time I bid you Adieu and Whew!

Happy Saint Valentines Day!
