... and we'll walk down the path together

hello!
no, i've not disappeared...
(i'm quite found at the moment)
my heart is leaping to share some news...

Patrick and I are ENGAGED!!!

his proposal was not only romantic and thoughtful;
it was a surprise as well!

these are a few pictures of the place where Patrick asked
to spend the rest of our lives together
and i said "YES!" (5 times... just to be clear) ;)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Have a lucky day!
In my heritage I may be a smidgen Irish
I'm unsure - a combination of many Euro nationalities.
I'll still wear a hint of green today
avoiding the cheeky pinch.


either way,
...I owe my Irishman a kiss*


Cheers,
Lynsey

*I'll happily plant this kiss on Friday when I see him :)

renewed creative spirit

i've really been enjoying this partial Spring Break the past week

my creative side feels heard and refreshed
plenty of time in the studio
not too neglectful of my study duties
maybe slightly... but it's spring break for goodness sake

i'm ready for Spring to be here
seeing robins bouncing around.
my goal is to snap a proper photo of a flock of robins
i saw a GIANT flock last year. so strangely wonderful

onward this weekend to see Patrick!
my heart feels warm just thinking of it.

A good weekend to you,
Lynsey

p.s. pop in my shops... there's some new goodies around!

Hearing Drips... thanks for the feature!

my jewelry is happily featured in "I Dreamed I Saw..."
(the long silver drips of the Milan at Night earrings) this writer is ready for Springtime too!
Here's to the melting away of the snow and ice revealing new life... http://www.idreamedisaw.com/2010/03/01/what-a-drip/


Thanks so much! :)

Good Things Come 'Round in Threes

Maybe it's that Patrick was here for the weekend
that i'm feeling particularly more thankful than usual

we walked for hours in the sunshine yesterday
watching owners play with their dogs (young, old, and in between)
and little boys fishing out abandoned freshwater clams
beneath the over-sized rocks we rested on

sure, we were splashed quite a bit
but all in good fun!

When creating and naming these earrings...
i thought to myself "what are sayings about 3's?"
"bad things come in threes."
now who thought of something as dismal as that??

feeling like much more good can be noticed...
I made these the "good things come 'round in 3's" pair


just a little reminder that although your life may feel sometimes
as though it is whipping and swirling
there are plenty of moments where you can look beyond
(or often, right in front of you)
to find something
pleasurable. worthwhile. playful.


Hope you notice many wonderful things this month!
