A Bit of Gardening, in Spite of the Rain!

 ...well, I've been dashing between the raindrops this week trying to get a few of my planters filled.  It's been raining practically non-stop for over a week!! On the positive side, no sunburns and no extra watering required!  I have a great collection of tin planters I've gathered over the last 10 years or so -- they are dented and kinda rusty in places but I Love their weathered personalities.  My flower color selection this year includes lots of orange and peach, white, green and a pop or two of pink.  I have three or four more tins to plant but these add a much needed bit of color this week. Here are a few shots of the front door and porches, the flower boxes on the garage and my favorite gerbera daisies -- fingers crossed for a ray or two of sunshine SOON!

Industrial Mod Collection~ new at Wild Woman Jewelry


'Only the truth is revolutionary.'
~ Graffiti Quotes
***********
A few years ago, I saw the Broadway Musical, Rent-- I loved everything about it...the performance, the music and the amazing set! My passions for theatre, set design and an industrial esthetic were completely satisfied in this artistic endeavor and have inspired a number of my own creative undertakings-- most recently a line of jewelry featuring clean lines, rustic finishes, bits of color and repurposed materials. I hope you enjoy them!

A Christmas Carol

'I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.'

~ Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

*******
A Christmas Carol, one of my favorite holiday stories, has inspired several new designs for the holiday season. Images of the Victorian Era-- carolers, lamplight, snowfalling, candles on the Christmas tree, songbooks, holly, delectable sweets and ringing bells as well as the more elaborate details of design from the time period have had some influence... Happy Holidays!
