production line

24 July 2010

For the past few weeks I was working away on far too many earrings. I get antsy when I have repetitive work to do so I try and change things up a little with different textures and finishes. Even through all of my complaining, I knew I would feel accomplished when I packed up my […]

22 July 2010

There are so many pretty gardens in my neighborhood. Front yards are filled with lovely, bright blooms. It is always a great adventure when I take Miss Callie for a walk.  Luckily, I always have my phone to take some photos. I don’t know what these white stalks of flowers are called. They look like […]

SoWa Sundays and my happy return to Providence

19 July 2010

This weekend husband and I made our way to Boston for SoWa.  It was terribly hot and I didn’t last under the tent. Husband stayed and smiled at the potential customers for me while I tried to cool off in a cafe. In the end, it just wasn’t worth the trip. Not enough in sales […]

welcome summer! Neighborhood stroll edition

19 July 2010

On a short walk with my lady I came across these lovely hibiscus in a neighbor’s front yard. Callie was nice enough to wait patiently while I took some pictures of these huge blooms. It is hard to get an idea of their size but I promise they are the largest hibiscus I have seen. […]

The gardens here are full of surprises as I haven’t witnessed them in bloom yet. When I saw this stem I knew what was coming. After waiting patiently the oriental lilies finally burst open this morning. Maybe they were waiting for some rain? I know I was happy to cooled down. Hibiscus have been in […]

brewing coffee european style

15 July 2010

I have been on the prowl for the perfect method of brewing coffee. My sister-in-law suggested I try a Moka Pot. I gave in this week {after being tired of drinking sludge produced from my french press} and took a trip to the Coffee Exchange to get me one. Of course I went with the […]

fresh from the side of the road

14 July 2010

While walking home from the gym the other night I decided it was time for some new flowers for my end table. So, I made husband pick some Queen Anne’s Lace from the side of the road. Last night I captured it on my iPhone. Doesn’t the Shake It Photo app make it look like […]

welcome summer! flowers are in bloom!

11 July 2010

This week has brought some dreadfully hot weather to us. I feel like I am in Vegas running from one air conditioned place to the next. Seems like I won’t ever want to turn my kiln on to enamel again. Even through all of this complaining I did get outside to capture some flowers on […]

a touch of class : repurposed chandelier crystals

29 June 2010

For some time now I have had my eye on a chandelier at my in-law’s home. Husband took it down while doing a re-modeling project for his father. This was way back when we had spare time and all. Needless to say, I can’t begin to think of how far back it was. Just a […]
