quiet snow day

Missouri was tucked in last night

i love waking up

dashing to the television

legs tucked under themselves as I wait for the alphabet to pass

ah, the fun part of being a student

SNOW DAYS!

how to use such a day?

art nerd: this lighting is PERFECT for photos

brilliant diffused light scattering the earth

and my windowsill

here's some pieces that have been awaiting the perfect day

to capture their details

i think i may take myself for a walk in the park later

tromp about in the fresh foot of snow

how do you like to spend snow days?

wishing you sweet marshmallows in your hot cocoa,

Lynsey

p.s. earrings are now in shop

cooling down from the kiln: new jewelry

i'm keeping my hands and heart busy

these are some new happenings

fresh from my steaming studio

don't know if it's the 95+ degree weather

or my longing for the seaside

but this color is hitting the spot

ah.

soft summer whispers

i'm feeling more gentle than usual

wearing earrings more soft

beautiful shades,

laces and ruffles

these are my new little favs in shop

sigh... light, glowing, effervescent

in cleaning my old room at my parents' house

i came across some of my poetry

what a terrific reminder to set time aside

to observe and imagine

i'm hoping to write a bit more this summer

perhaps in my dainty earrings

with a glass of sun tea :)

hope your July is going swimmingly!

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??
