This week . . .

I have been having great fun designing and creating one of a kind, nature-inspired jewelry pieces for the Fairie Festival (www.spoutwood.org).  Here are a few samples:









 Plus, we are bringing along some amazing new (and regular favorite) teas to the festival and are busy preparing packaging and labels.  As we enjoy warmer weather, try one or two of your favorite teas on ice!  I would be happy to make some recommendations, too.

Since I have been in the fairy-mode, even the dryer balls are loaded with sparkly bits and are in colors of the forest and flowers.  I am trying out some absolutely stunning new yarns from Kraemer that have been coming out of the dye pots in lovely color combinations; can't wait to see what our customers do with them! Here a just a few . . . .
My husband and I have been doing a little fun co-creating.  He is helping me make some nice displays for the festival and we have been working together outside to prepare the gardens for spring.  It feels so good to spend more time outside and it is easy to get good pictures of the things we make.  I'll keep you posted and thanks for taking the time to share with us!
