In New Mexico...

We jeweled a beautiful bride.

The views are amazing.

The succulents inspire.

I threw a hair fascinator on my simple

black dress.

Generations laugh together.

The prickly pear inspires a ruby & chalcedony

collection.

Miles of cotton grow.

Design Fix

This living room looks peaceful and beautiful.

Addicted: Terrariums

I am utterly addicted to terrariums! I got together with the ladies and planted succulents in glass vessels. The possibilities are endless! Shimmering sand, gems and succulents contained in glass? Love! Here are my Portland sources for the ingredients:

Artemesia

sands, succulents, vessels and so much more.

Ed's House of Gems

Geodes, shells and minerals

Michaels

Vessels, sands, and shells

New Seasons

Assorted succulents

Inspired by Lettuce

This lettuce is so luscious!

Big and beautiful rosette leaves make me swoon.

I'll call her Sally.

She inspired this creamy hair fascinator.

Enjoy your weekend!

Post Salem Art Fair & Festival

Nestled under the trees in Bush's Pasture Park, our jewels shimmered in rare peeks of sunshine.

We were in great company with brilliant artists

from all over the U.S.

Amazing views.

The Salem Art Association awarded us for:
Quality of Work and Creative Presentation!

The last day of the show rained cats and dogs! This Festival in three words: Amazing, friendly, organized. Here are a few of many talented artists we discovered:

Amy Buettner
Kevin Eslinger
J. Brooke Patterson

Thank you for your support!!
We met the loveliest ladies!

Coffee Walk

One of our favorite coffee shops is 15 blocks from our home. The walk is beautiful. I had to run back home and get my camera (and a grimace from Yed). Portland is in full bloom and it's lovely and inspiring!

We will be at the Salem Art Fair & Festival this weekend.

Enjoy your weekend!

Listening to Van Morrison

Love his music.

We'll be at the Salem Art Fair & Festival!

In Texas...

The little one swooned over cars, airplanes and

tractors.

The heat was intense, so much so that the

zucchini was sweating!

My Grandma reminds me of Frida Kahlo.

She can create something beautiful from anything.

The desert landscapes of prickly cactus, tumbleweeds

and cappuccino sand are beautiful.

Happy Belated 4th!

The 'ole bloggy has been neglected lately! I hope your weekend was relaxing and fun. We caught this holiday in the grand state of Texas. So much inspiration- so little time. Time to create!
