Keeping Warm with Artisan Handmade - Three for Thursday
Posted February 7, 2019
As everyone knows, winter definitely arrived last week with extreme bone chilling, record breaking temperatures in a huge swath of the United States. Except . . . (I almost hate to say this) . . . in the Desert Southwest. I won’t even mention the weather we got to enjoy while watching news features of people bundled up head to toe while trying to find and dig out their cards from under several inches of snow. My husband and I lived in Canada for a few years and got to experience those sub-Arctic temperatures first hand . and . all . the . shovelling . of . snow. Been there, done that! I’ll take our sunny desert winters anytime these days.

Autumn Beauties - Artisan Handmade Three for Thursday
Posted September 13, 2018
“Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower” . . . Albert Camus
Even though it still is getting into the low 90’s here in the Desert Southwest, the mornings have begun to fill with the glorious tentacles of autumn. Everyone I know wants to linger as long as they can outside, sipping their coffee or tea, reading the newspaper, or, like me, just sitting and taking it all in. Not as many hummingbirds are practicing gluttony at the hummingbird feeders. Am assuming many are winging their way further south for the coming winter. I’ll miss them - a bittersweet goodbye. Fall is just around the corner.
First Page, Sixth Item - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade

Lately, the days just seem to drift one into the other and I sometimes don’t remember which day it is. Like today! Since I have a whole host of arts festivals to participate in this fall, I was creating some new jewelry late this afternoon. Then I suddenly realized it was Tuesday . . . and I needed to pull together a Wonderful Handmade Wednesday blog. Yikes! But never fear, it got done. With the help of my trusty “numbers bowl,” today’s theme is “First Page, Fifth Item” (as of when the items were added). You’ll find a wide range of unique items in this post, something just waiting for the woman who adores artisan handmade beauties. Also, browse more of the items in the artist's shops. You'll be glad you did! Enjoy!
