Caribbean Blue - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Posted October 18, 2017
Usually when I’m working on a blog post or listing an item in my Indiemade shop, my Pandora station is palying on my computer. My stream has a great blend (at least to me) of classic rock, some more modern rock, some folk music and a big dose of Celtic inspired music - that's the Scots-Irish coming out in me. Yesterday, as I was finishing up another blog, the song “Caribbean Blue” by Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin (better known as Enya) came on. Even though Enya sings many Celtic folk songs, some in Gaelic, with her usually heavily synthesized backdrops and multiple layers of her own voice, she is more of a New Age musician, in my humble opinion. "Caribbean Blue" was a mega-hit for her, and rightly so. I find her music very relaxing and always pause and enjoy the minutes when songs of hers show up in the Pandora rotation. Sometimes I'll even plug in one of her CDs and totally bliss out. To see the amazingly beautiful video of the song click here: CARIBBEAN BLUE

Autumn Browns - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade
Posted September 27, 2017
With autumn definitely in the air (at least here in the Borderlands - finally), Mother Nature's natural cycle of life is beginning to slow. There is a feeling of drawing inward, of self-reflection and, perhaps, as bit of melancholy, as we begin to prepare for the coming colder months of winter. The colors of fall are everywhere, which reminds me of this a quote from Helen Hunt Jackson, as American author: "The goldenrod is yellow, The corn is turning brown, The trees in apple orchards With fruit are bending down." So evocative of my favorite season of the year.
