whenever my son asks about my friday post, he always suggests dogs should be the focus. it makes perfect sense since our pup just happens to be my son's most favorite thing.  so here it goes... wishing you a weekend filled with favorites.

walking through a beautiful garden is very inspiring and soothing. bringing the outside in, viewing art influenced by nature, feeling drawn to the romanticism of laurel, olive and bay wreaths and enjoying working with my hands compelled me to create the wreath-like piece i'm currently working on (a couple glimpses below). the layered piece will be in the shop soon. enjoy your week, hope it's a soothing one.

hmmm, not sure what the blog equivalent of 'dead air' is but sincere apologies for technical difficulties that prevented my post from publishing last friday! this week, i am noticing that i never seem to tire of a black and white palette. i love the way it perfectly compliments natural materials like wood or foliage, and how it plays off a touch of color.

wishing you a perfectly lovely weekend.

we had some technical difficulties. our server was down. sorry for the inconvenience. a little sparkle, classic friendly flowers, old world grace and charm mixed in with objects made by hand....very welcoming and pleasant.

a new mini fanciful wreath (shown below) is in the shop.

have a pleasant week.
