here we go : pictures from the farm 2010

finally snagged a few photos from our farm trip
the skies were endlessly beautiful


as were the bluffs, meadows, river, pond, and trails through the forest
and a puppy friend who found us along the way


i need land
exciting to think in the not too distant future
there will be a place of earth
where Patrick and I will call our home

feeling sweet : new enamel post earrings

ladylike or daring?

perhaps it's all in the way you wear them

i had fun playing around with a pair i made (for me!)

don't worry... there's a matching pair for someone else out there too

a large enamel stud earring pair

these have my earlobes adorned

i feel refined... even the old shirt being worn

it's so refreshing getting ample time to hop in the studio

i want to continue

making

exploring

and discovering

armed with saw blades, files, and a kiln

i'm sure there's more to come

this summer

how's your summer going so far??

ways to relax --- proper tea time

(thank you,Patrick, for this wonderful gift which reminds me to slow down and enjoy)

Step 1: select tea...
perhaps a delicious white chai ? yes, please.
... and start boiling that water













Step 2: place loose tea in strainer & set in tea pot


Step 3: pour boiling water into kettle
















Step 4: light that candle
















Step 5: let tea steep for a few minutes


now enjoy your afternoon tea :)

go out !

hello hello!

it's not too often i have the time on my hands to stroll about
enjoying the sunshine
but today i HAD to make time

morning brought the cool breath of autumn
which the afternoon continues to exhale

my lungs are fresh today
my pedals were pushed faster than usual
carrying my body through the spots of sun and shade

strange how a little piece of nature can go so far
20 minutes outside & i feel revived
*sigh*

hope the day is treating you well
& that you make a little moment for yourself
to experience the wondrous change

xo,
Lynsey
