Busy days are good, but they can be overwhelming. I've made a pot of tea and I'm being calm - on purpose, you know (tea can do that for you, especially pouring it from a proper teapot). Pour hot tea, drink, repeat. I think I've been spending FAR too much time with my face glued to the computer these last few days. (I'm drinking the tea in front of the computer... see? I can't relax, it must be the tea. Not really, I just have a really long to-do list. :) Anyway, I've been terribly productive, but I'm starting to feel like I'm in a photoshop trance. Today I packaged an order for my Etsy shop and I took such great pleasure in wrapping it, writing the thank you note and making the card. I usually include a free gift, most often its a handmade card. It was so nice to just step away from the keyboard and the screen and make something with my hands! I will be very happy in a week or two when things start to settle down again and I have time to make some pretty things.
Speaking of pretty... just look at this gorgeous, romantic treasury I found today, featuring my butterfly hair clip! I love the curvy lines of the violin photograph with the ladies... I love the jewelry & accessories, what lovely choices! The soft colors are so dreamy.
One more, this one is entitled: Flowers All Around. Aaahhh, I just can't wait for that time in my garden when there are indeed flowers all around. Can you spot my headband?
I am currently enamored of buntings, garlands, banners, etc... You can decorate your child's room (heck, why not your room too?), the fireplace mantel, a shelf or bookshelf, string across a window, or use it for a party or shower decoration or a child's photo shoot. Planning something with a carnival theme or a circus theme? Buntings are a natural design element. Yesterday's shop update included 3 buntings. This is just one of them, so if you want to see the others, you'll have to head on over to the shop.
