Affirmation and Inspiration - Artisan Handmade Three for Thursday

 

 

“More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.” 

― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart



 

In these days which seem filled with words of hate and division, it’s sometimes hard to remember that there is MUCH more good in this world than there is bad.  We just have to be aware of it. The smile of a friend or stranger. An unexpected helping hand. A kind word. Being strong in the face of adversity. That’s why I love the quote above . . . and sometimes use it as my mantra while doing some deep breathing to slow down my sometimes very active monkey mind.

 

So for this Three for Thursday blog post, I chose the theme of “Affirmation and Inspiration.”  Three jewelry items from three talented handmade artists were chosen that exude those two aspects and could be a calming touchstone during times when life just becomes a bit too crazy.  The three jewelry artists are: Robin of robintheraven; Mary of PrettyGonzo; and me, Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs. I hope you enjoy these meaningful choices and visit the artists’ studio for more beauties..

Wow! This is soooo nice, Catherine! It's relaxing just to look at these pretties. :) Thank you so much for including my three chaplet rosary bracelets with the lovely creations from you and Robin. Everything looks made to go together! Which fits the theme of your post. Will be sharing everything at Pinterest and Twitter later today. Thanks again - and treats to the Noble Moose Dog from the Sweet Wee Kitty! :)

Inspiring Spirits

Beautiful words and great job posting things, Catherine! How awesome to see the three of our spirits collide today! It feels like we're all together even though we're many miles apart. Hope we can all brighten this crazy world with our art. A passing moment of joy is something to hang on to and cherish these days. Peace and blessing from Portland....Robin
