Surprise

There's nothing quite like a surprise March snow-shower. After rain all day and night on Saturday, Daniel and I watched as it turned to sleet, then snow, Sunday afternoon. We only got about an inch, but it was still enough to cover everything in white. I don't know exactly how to feel about snow this time of year. Normally I love snow, but I am beyond ready for spring. This was certainly a wake-up to the fact that I'm not in Alabama anymore.
Most of it is melted by now. I think I'll keep looking out for signs of spring anyway, even though winter is still making its presence known.

Petal Pendants with Vintage Lace

You will be able to find these at KeelyB shortly. Have a lovely weekend!

Prayer Flag Pendants

I've had Tibetan Prayer Flags hanging in my living quarters, no matter where they have been, since the age of 15. Even though they are indoors, I always make sure to hang them where the drafts will catch them so that they can work their magic. A few days ago it hit me that I should make prayer flag pendants. So I scanned a prayer flag, shrunk it, and printed it on matte photo paper. I hope they bring the wearer a sense of tranquility. They will appear in the shop later today or tomorrow.

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Smoke on the Water

We got a ton of rain yesterday, but thankfully that was all. The little patch of sand to the right is now under water completely...lake levels are rising fast! (I hear the people back in Alabama had to put up with tornado sirens blaring all day! And we lost a tree back at the Florence house, which makes me sad. I miss those old oaks.)

I watched the storms roll in, knowing that I have a basement to hide in if need be, and have figured out that fog tends to roll out over the water before a heavy rain. I like the eeriness of this photograph.

Tri-Cities Flea Market

We had a lot of fun exploring the area over the weekend with Rowan and Drew. The Tri-Cities Flea Market has a lot of potential for treasure hunting, especially as the weather gets warmer. My favorite are the potbelly piglets...but Daniel says I already have two dogs that snore and snort enough as it is. I suppose he's right.

A Few More Trees

EDIT: Right after I posted this, I realized that my Etsy Mini is indeed working and updating! How funny. Just when you complain about something it works. No complaints here! I am leaving the links up to make browsing easier anyhow. Enjoy.

Since my Etsy mini (to the right) doesn't seem to be updating itself like it used to (maybe Etsy changed that? Do they not show your most recently listed items anymore? I don't know...Etsy is changing so rapidly that I have a hard time keeping up with it. If you happen to know what's up, please feel free to tell me!) I decided to share a few more tree pendants with you in case you didn't realize I've been listing new things.

All of my hand painted tree pendants can be found by clicking here.

A super mini blue tree pendant. For sale here.

A red winter tree, here.

And another blue tree on torn paper, which will appear in the shop shortly.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week thus far! I am anxious for my week to be nearing its end because my sister and her boyfriend are in town this weekend! I am filling my time with productivity in the meantime. Happy Tuesday.

New (Chi) Aquarium

The filter is SO quiet and the water spilling over the rocks up top makes such a lovely bubbling sound. This is such a happy addition to our new home. For a small fish tank, this is just about perfect.
