Welcome To Tennessee

Last May a pair of whistling swans stopped off at the pond down the road for a few days during their migration. Well the other day, they returned! They are so cool. I've never seen them before.

Such beautiful birds! Enjoy your stay and rest up for your flight.

Until next time.....

Black is the Night

Yesterday morning, I awoke with the treasury bug. Coffee in hand, I sat down and put together a treasury with some of my faves, some of my friends and some of my team mates. Yesterday evening I received a convo from a friend that my treasury was on the front page!

I was so excited for everyone. Congrats y'all! I couldn't have done it without you. Click on the treasury to get a bird's eye view.

Until next time.....

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Etsy Project Embrace's treasury challenge that is going on right now is for breast cancer awareness. This morning I sat down and put together my trej for the challenge. You can view it by clicking on the beautiful cuff embroidered by our team leader Waterrose.
I would LOVE to get this treasury on the front page of Etsy. Please stop by if you have a moment. All of the items are from members of EPE. Feel free to leave a comment. I'll heart you forever~

In my shop this month, 50% of the proceeds from the listings in my EPE section will be donated to the American Cancer Society through Etsy Project Embrace. Click on the necklace below. It will take you to that section.

Breast cancer doesn't have to kill anymore.

Until next time.....

Hello Darkness, My Old Friend

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
~Paul Simon



We spent the weekend on top of the mountain at Crystal Lake. Camping out under the stars. Cool weather. Wind blowing through the trees. But this time the wind was different. It was an Autumn wind. Chestnut oak acorns fell from the trees. Believe me, you don't want to get hit with one of those! They are about 2" long.
I sat out at night, staring at the stars. The Milky Way swept across the sky above us. I didn't want to come back down. Never do. It clears the cobwebs of my mind. I love it up there. Being surrounded by trees. And darkness. Like going home to old friends.
Until next time.....
