HONORING DOLLS ALL OVER THE WORLD. WORLD DOLL DAY, THE SECOND SATURDAY IN JUNE.

IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO RUN ACROSS INFORMATION FROM OTHER DOLL BLOGS.  THIS EVENING, I WAS VISITING THE BLOG TITLED 'DOLL IN THE LOOKING GLASS' AND I  FOUND OUT SOME VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION.

I DO HAVE A LINK TO 'DOLL IN THE LOOKING GLASS' BLOG ON MY LEFT SIDEBAR. THEY ALSO HAVE ORIGINAL, HANDMADE, AND CUSTOM MADE TO ORDER DOLLS FOR SALE ON THAT BLOG.  YOU WILL ENJOY VIEWING THE BLOG.

THIS SATURDAY IS 'WORLD DOLL DAY' WHICH IS ALWAYS THE SECOND SATURDAY IN JUNE.  THIS YEAR, IT FALLS ON JUNE 13TH.

HERE IS THE LOGO AN ARTIST CREATED FOR THAT DAY

To find out more, you can do your own search for World Doll Day.  I will be posting more photos on Saturday of my own doll collection.  You can join in the fun and post your own doll photos too on your own blog.  Please leave your blog name in MY comments section below, so others can come to your blog if you wish to participate with your own doll photos whether the dolls are vintage, new, or handmade, mixed media.  I don't have time to do a Doll Day Blog Hop so this is the closest I can come for participation just for fun!

YAY! FINALLY! SOME WINNERS FOR MY GIVEAWAY!

IT IS WITH FUN CELEBRATION THAT I CONGRATULATE THE TWO PEOPLE WHO GUESSED CORRECTLY IN MY GIVEAWAY!

The winners are: Dogs Mom blogspot, and M Ann M Creations. They guessed an IRON, which correctly identified the shiny object which is the reflection I photographed.  I WILL BE SENDING YOU YOUR OWN FLOWER BROOCH IN ABOUT TWO WEEK'S TIME. 

THIS IS THE REFECTION OF THE OBJECT WHICH I WAS ASKING FOR PEOPLE TO CORRECTLY GUESS.

I gave clues in a few posts.  The very last clue was the best clue I could give, as it was a shrine which another blogger had made for her uncle, and the shrine, itself, was basically the exact shape of the reflected object, an IRON.  One of my clues, was that fairies were repelled by this element and did not like what this vintage object used to be made from and that is????......Ta! Da! AN IRON! Fairies do not like anything made from iron.  This was a subtle hint.  I enjoyed the guesses which people made too! They were very creative. From a mirror, to keys, to a bowl of water, and a belt buckle. 

VINTAGE IRONS USED TO BE MADE FROM, WELL...IRON!  SO FAIRIES DID NOT LIKE THEM!

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, MY ROWENTA IRON WAS STANDING ON MY LAUNDRY ROOM COUNTER TOP AND THE WESTERN, SETTING, SUN WAS HITTING THE SHINY BOTTOM SIDE AND THE REFLECTION WHICH I TOOK CREATED A VERY ETHEREAL PHOTO.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT SUCH A SPLENDID REFLECTION COULD COME FROM A LOWLY IRON.  THE REFLECTION DID RESEMBLE A SHRINE WITH AN ANGEL AROUND IT.

 THANK YOU ONE AND ALL, AGAIN, FOR PARTICIPATING IN MY GIVEAWAY.  IT WAS LOTS OF FUN WITH CHALLENGING EXCITEMENT.

CONTINUING ON WITH MY GIVEAWAY... PLEASE KEEP GUESSING! NO ONE HAS GUESSED YET! MORE CLUES!

AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, I HAVE CHANGED MY HEADER TO REFLECT A MORE SPRINGTIME ATMOSPHERE, AND ALSO KEEPING IN LINE WITH CHILDREN'S BOOK ILLUSTRATORS, AND DOLLS, AND MIXED MEDIA.

I WILL LET YOU KNOW NOW, IT IS NOT A MIRROR, WHICH IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY GUESSED.

I WILL BE LEAVING THIS POST UP FOR ANOTHER WEEK, AND THE WINNER OR WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED ON A NEW, SEPARATE POST.

OKAY.  IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FOLLOWING MY GIVEAWAY, PLEASE GO TO MY THIRD POST DOWN, AND SCROLL DOWN TO THE VERY LAST PHOTOS OF THE OBJECTS WHICH ARE REFLECTIONS OF LIGHT.  WHAT I AM ASKING FOR, IS TO IDENTIFY THE REFLECTION OF THE VERY LAST OBJECT AND LEAVE A COMMENT AS TO WHAT YOU THINK CREATED THE REFLECTED LIGHT.

 FOR THE NEXT CLUE, WE ARE GOING ON A SCAVENGER HUNT, TO ANOTHER BLOG. (A LITTLE BIT OF VIRTUAL FOOTWORK).

ON ROSANNA'S ART BLOG, THERE IS A PHOTO OF A SHRINE WHICH ROSANNA MADE FOR HER UNCLE WHICH IS THE EXACT SHAPE AS THE OBJECT OF WHICH I PHOTOGRAPHED THE LIGHT REFLECTION. PLEASE LOOK AT ROSANNA'S MAY 12TH POST FOR THE PHOTO CLUE. (SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY GIVEAWAY.  IT IS JUST ANOTHER CLUE FROM ME TO YOU).  please look at the shape of the shrine she made and come back to MY BLOG and make a guess in MY COMMENT SECTION.  Please try to leave your email address or it will be difficult to contact you if you win.  Like I indicated, there is a little bit of virtual footwork!
There may be multiple winners too! 

THE BLOG IS ROSANNA PEREYRA'S BLOG WHICH IS: ROSANNA'S ART BLOG.  ROSANNA IS A FABULOUS DOLL ARTIST, AND ALSO A WRITER, AND MIXED MEDIA ARTIST. WHILE YOU ARE ON HER LINK, YOU MAY DO LIKE I DID AND OOO! AND AHHH! AT HER CREATIVITY.

PLEASE GO TO MY LEFT SIDEBAR AND CLICK ON ROSANNA'S ART BLOG LINK WHICH WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO HER BLOG. REMEMBER, SHE IS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS GIVEAWAY, SO PLEASE COME BACK HERE FOR YOUR GUESS.

I will give you one more clue here: The object is shiny and has lots of holes.

THANKS FOR GUESSING!

ANOTHER CLUE FOR MY LITTLE GIVEAWAY!... PLEASE READ THE POST BEFORE THIS ONE FOR OTHER CLUES. YOU HAVE TO READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THAT POST.

THIS IS TODAY'S CLUE:

IN FAIRY FOLKLORE, FAIRIES DID NOT LIKE CERTAIN ELEMENTS.  THE OBJECT, WHICH I TOOK A PHOTO OF REFLECTED LIGHT, IN THE OLDEN DAYS, USED TO BE MADE FROM THIS ELEMENT.

AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE GUESSED A MIRROR,...I AM SORRY...FAIRIES ARE VERY VAIN.  IT IS NOT A MIRROR.

I WILL KEEP ADDING CLUES UNTIL SOMEONE GUESSES THE RIGHT OBJECT. AND YES THE OBJECT IS VERY SHINY, AS IT REFLECTS LIGHT QUITE WELL.  QUITE IRONICALLY, FAIRIES LOVE SEEING THEIR OWN REFLECTIONS AND TODAY THEY WOULD PROBABLY USE THE SHINY OBJECT IF THEY COULD NOT FIND A MIRROR TO LOOK AT THEMSELVES AS THIS OBJECT IS NO LONGER MADE FROM THE ELEMENT OF THE PAST WHICH THEY ABHORRED.

Thank you one and all!

CATS, FLOWERS, AND REFLECTED LIGHT PHOTOS and a little giveaway!

TODAY, I AM GOING TO SHARE PHOTOS OF CATS, FLOWERS, AND REFLECTED LIGHT AROUND OUR HOME.

FOR THE GIVEAWAY, PLEASE READ THE POST TO THE END ABOUT THE IMAGES OF REFLECTED LIGHT.

HERE IS ANOTHER CLUE: IN FAIRY LORE, THIS OBJECT WOULD HAVE REPELLED FAIRIES AS IT USED TO BE MADE FROM AN OLD ELEMENT WHICH THEY DO NOT LIKE.  

I WILL BE POSTING CLUES DAILY, UNTIL SOMEONE OR SEVERAL PEOPLE GUESS THE OBJECT WHICH IS CREATING THE REFLECTED LIGHT IMAGE.

I WILL BE GIVING AWAY FABRIC FLOWER BROACHES, MAYBE WITH BITS OF VINTAGE LACE AND BUTTONS AFFIXED TO THE BROACH.

THIS IS JUST AN IDEA OF WHAT THE FLOWER BROACHES WILL LOOK LIKE.  BUT PROBABLY WITH MORE VINTAGE LACE AND MORE BUTTONS.  JUST SOMETHING FUN TO GIVEAWAY!

GOOD LUCK WITH THE GUESSING!

I DO LOVE CATS, AND A NEIGHBOR'S CAT LOVES STAYING IN OUR YARD AS WE DON'T HAVE ANY DOGS TO BOTHER CATS.

I BELIEVE OUR NEIGHBOR'S CAT'S NAME IS ZOEY.  I ADORE ORANGE TABBY CATS!

THIS KITTY CAME TO OUR YARD FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN I DIDN'T SEE HIM FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THEN I SAW HIM DOWN THE STREET LAST WEEK.  I THINK HIS PEOPLE MOVED AND LEFT HIM BEHIND.  HE WAS A REALLY, SWEET CAT TOO!

HERE IS ZOEY AGAIN.  HE HAS SUCH A FUN PERSONALITY. I AM TAKING AN ONLINE WATERCOLOR CAT PORTRAIT CLASS WITH MIRIAM SCHULMAN AT HER NING SITE 'THE INSPIRATION PLACE' WHICH THE LINK IS ON MY SIDEBAR.  SHE ALSO OFFERS A VARIETY OF OTHER WATERCOLOR WORKSHOPS.  PLEASE CHECK OUT HER NING SITE.   SO I AM TAKING PHOTOS OF CATS AS REFERENCE POINTS FOR MY CAT PORTRAITS.  I HAVE LEARNED THAT UNLESS A CAT IS LYING DOWN, THEY ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CAPTURE AS THEY LIKE TO MOVE AROUND A LOT!

FLOWERS ARE SUCH A LOVELY EXPRESSION OF NATURE, SO I HAVE ADDED A FEW PHOTOS FROM OUR YARD.

SOME OF MY SUCCULENTS IN BLOOM.  THE COLORS OF THE BLOOMS ARE DEEP WITH RICH BRILLIANCE.

THIS SUCCULENT IS CALLED 'BABY TOES' AND HAD RATHER A LARGE BLOSSOM FOR SUCH SMALL SUCCULENTS.

EVERY SPRING I HAVE VOLUNTEER VIOLETS WHICH COME UP.  THEY HAVE SUCH A WONDERFULLY HEADY SWEET FRAGRANCE.

I BELIEVE THIS IS 'PEACE' WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ROSES.  I LOVE THE PALE YELLOW WITH THE BLUSH OF LIGHT PINK AROUND THE EDGES.  THERE IS AN OPAQUE GLASSWARE CALLED 'BURMESSE WARE' WHICH HAS THE LOVELY YELLOW FROSTED LOOK WITH A PINK BLUSH ON AROUND THE EDGES.  JUST A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION OF THE TWO COLORS.

THIS BRIGHTLY FLOWERED PLANT IS CALLED 'THE BIRD OF PARADISE'.  IT IS NOT THE TYPICAL BIRD OF PARADISE PLANT WITH THE WAXY, HUGE FLOWERS, BUT A NEWER FLOWERING SHRUB.

HERE IS A DAY LILY/IRIS WHICH DECIDED TO BLOOM PROFUSELY THIS SPRING. IT REMINDS ME OF A PASSION FLOWER AND I AM SURE THE PETALS HAVE A RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE TO IT AS DOES THE PASSION FLOWER BEING ATTRIBUTED TO THE PASSIONS OF CHRIST.

ONE OF MY ROSE BUSHES GIFTS ME WITH FOUR ROSES ON ONE STEM EACH YEAR. QUITE BEAUTIFUL!

REFLECTED LIGHT CAN BE SUCH AN AMAZING SUBJECT TO PHOTOGRAPH SO I HAVE ADDED SOME AMAZING PHOTOS OF HOW LIGHT CAN BE REFLECTED FROM DIFFERENT OBJECTS.

I AM FASCINATED WITH TAKING PHOTOS OF REFLECTED LIGHT.  THIS WAS TAKEN IN MY LAUNDRY ROOM WHEN THE SUN WAS AT A LOW POINT IN THE WEST AND WAS ACTUALLY REFLECTED OFF A PLASTIC TRANSPARENT TWO-LITER BOTTLE FULL OF WATER.

I LIKE TO LOOK FOR HIDDEN IMAGES IN REFLECTED LIGHT, AS,  IN THIS ONE, I SEE A FACE ON THE LEFT SIDE, AND A FACE LOOKING DOWNWARD. THE IMAGES KIND OF SHARE THE SAME CHIN. QUITE FASCINATING, WITH THE REFLECTED ORBS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIGHT.

MORE REFLECTED LIGHT THROUGH A BURLAP SHADE IN OUR DINING AREA, REFLECTED AGAINST A WOODEN SLIDING DOOR, WITH THE SUNSHINE AGAIN COMING LOW IN THE WEST AT THE CLOSE OF THE DAY. THE BLUE REFLECTION AT THE CENTER TOP IS ALSO AN AMAZING BIT OF COLOR WHICH I HAVE NO CLUE WHERE IT CAME FROM. I DID NOT USE MY FLASH IN ANY OF THESE REFLECTED LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS.

I WALKED INTO ONE OF OUR ROOMS THE OTHER LATE AFTERNOON AND SAW THIS AMAZING REFLECTED LIGHT PATTERN ON THE WALL.  IT REMINDED ME OF AN ANGEL OR SHRINE OR BOTH.  IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT THE OBJECT WAS WHICH REFLECTED THE LIGHT, I WILL SEND YOU A LITTLE GIVEAWAY SURPRISE!  JUST LEAVE ME A COMMENT AS TO WHAT YOU THINK THE OBJECT IS.  PLEASE LEAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS SO I CAN CONTACT YOU IF YOU GUESS THE CORRECT OBJECT. THIS PHOTO ALSO HAS A BLUE EERIE LIGHT ON THE LOWER RIGHT, WHICH WAS NOT APPARENT WHEN I SNAPPED THE PHOTO WITHOUT A FLASH.

JUST MY WAY OF THANKING MY FAITHFUL BLOG FOLLOWERS WITH A SWEET GIVEAWAY GIFT. TRY TO GUESS WHAT OBJECT CREATED THE REFLECTED LIGHT IN THE VERY LAST PHOTO.  IF MORE THAN ONE PERSON GUESSES CORRECTLY, I WILL GIVE SOMETHING TO EACH PERSON WHO GUESSES CORRECTLY.

I WILL BE ADDING CLUES DAILY SO IT'S NOT SO HARD TO GUESS THE OBJECT MAKING THE REFLECTED IMAGE OF LIGHT.

TODAY'S CLUE IS:  WOMEN THROUGHOUT THE AGES USED THIS OBJECT.

THIS GIVEAWAY WILL BE LEFT UP UNTIL SOMEONE OR MORE THAN SOMEONE, GUESSES THE ANSWER.

I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THESE PHOTOS AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED DOING THE PHOTOGRAPHY.

MIKE'S PASTRIES IN NORTH END BOSTON AND OTHER SITES...

NO, I DON'T LIVE IN BOSTON, NOR DO I LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS....BUT MY SISTER AND HER HUSBAND AND LOVELY FAMILY LIVED IN THE TOWN OF PEPPERELL, MASS. FOR OVER SEVEN YEARS.  SO...THAT MEANS, I WAS ABLE TO VISIT BOSTON A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I WOULD FLY OUT FROM CALIFORNIA, DURING THE SUMMER TO VISIT MY SISTER.

YES, WE WALKED THE BOSTON COMMON, WHICH IS SUCH A LOVELY PARK.  ANYWHERE WE TURNED THERE WERE WEDDING COUPLES HAVING THEIR PHOTOS TAKEN. AND BOATS THAT LOOKED LIKE SWANS ON THE MAN-MADE POND.

Swan boats for your riding pleasure

ONE OF THE ENTRANCES TO THE UNDERGROUND PARKING IS ON CHARLES STREET

WE PARKED BENEATH THE COMMON, IN THE UNDERGROUND PARKING WHICH IS FOUR STORIES OF CARS PARKED, BENEATH THE  GROUND.  IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF CLAUSTROPHOBIC TO ME, AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET OUT INTO THE OPEN AIR.

And yes, there were all sorts there, seeing as it was Boston.  We even saw some 'real' witches and wizards, dressed very much live the ones in the Harry Potter movies.

Professor McGonegal? 

The Boston Common has a Halloween Costume Event

We saw the real Mother Goose's headstone in a graveyard, very near to where Benjamin Franklin was also buried.  The headstones were so intriguing to look at. We also saw Paul Revere's house, still standing, near the famous tree of the Sons of Liberty square.

Mother Goose's grave.  We all know her poetry which has followed us into the 21st century.  The motif of the skull and wings is still very popular to use in artwork today.

BUT BACK TO MIKE'S PASTRIES...

THIS IS MIKE'S PASTRIES ON A PRETTY NORMAL AFTERNOON...PACKED TO THE OUTSIDE WITH LINES OF PEOPLE.

It was a Saturday evening, after we had eaten Dim Sum in a Chinese restaurant, that we decided to go to the Italian District to Mike's Pastries.  Pastries of every imaginable description.

Rows and rows of pastries of all descriptions!

THE MOST DECADENT CAKES

The line was out the door, in fact it was actually, four lines out the door which led inside to the back of the store where the cash registers were.  BUT, you had to get in the door FIRST to decide what your purchases were, THEN, get back INTO the line, which I think we waited a half an hour to make our purchases.

CANNOLI'S OF EVERY DESCRIPTION AND MELT IN YOUR MOUTH CREAM PUFFS

I purchased a slice of to die for carrot cake, with walnuts, coconut, and pineapple (no raisins), also a cannoli, a wonderful confection of a pastry full of decadent custard type filling with whipped cream, which they have no end of varieties of cannoli.  Also, what they call a lobster tail (a pastry) also similar to the cannoli, but BIGGER!  And I believe a slice of the real thing New York Cheese Cake (no 'fake' graham cracker crust invented by the 1960's generation) no, it had the flaky pastry 'crust' which melts in your mouth and does not take away from the flavor of the cheese cake.  So, we took home our confections and had tiny pieces all around of each dessert.  It was divine!

They have ice cream too, and Italian Gelato.  This guy looks like he is saying 'Go get your own piece of cake! This is mine, all mine!'

We went into the Commonwealth Book Store five minutes before they were closing.  I could have spent hours in there...probably better that I didn't as I probably would have come out penniless!

Books, and books, and books, and a basement full of books too.

Anyway, this was my 'blast from the past' being there seven years ago, and my sister and family have since moved to Minnesota, far more fierce winters than Massachusetts, perhaps, with the exception of this years' winter on the east coast.

So, if you are ever in Boston , there is lots to see!

I DO LOVE BLOGGING!....

HELLO MY DEAR BLOGGERS FRIENDS...

Even though I may not blog as often as I would wish to, I do enjoy viewing other artists, writers, ning sites, doll making blogs and tutorial sites which there are so many 'out there' on the internet, you could spend hours learning new creative techniques until you turned 100!

EXPLORE  EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR OWN JOURNEY

Ah...but we don't have that much free time to use in everyday life.  So, we take snatches of this here, and snatches of that over there, using Youtube, and ning sites, also going to Etsy to buy beautifully created items the world over.

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

I love Pinterest with its unlimited source of photos of every kind of blissful day dreams.  There are dolls of every sort, vintage, handmade, steampunk, ball joint dolls, and I drool over reams and reams of fairy tale dreams wishing I could someday be as creative as the most professional doll maker, or jeweler, or potter, or painter, the day dreams are never ending.

AND THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS

So, I began collecting dolls from many talented doll makers, which has made part of my dream come true.

BLACK-EYED SUSIE DOLL ON LEFT, AND TWO DOLLS CREATED BY KAREN MILSTEIN

DOLL IN THE MIDDLE BY FILIGREE, LEMONADE FAIRY

MORE SWEET DOLLS IN MY COLLECTION. I HAVE SOLD QUITE A FEW OF THESE DOLL BUT I HAVE SWEET MEMORIES AND LOVELY PHOTOS.

AS YOU CAN TELL THE DOLLS ARE AS UNIQUE AS THE INDIVIDUAL ARTIST.  MY OWN FRENCH STYLE MARIONETTE DOLL IN THE MIDDLE WITH HER TURQUOISE BODICE.  VALENTINA BY JANICE PETTY ON FAR RIGHT IN THE STYLE OF A QUEEN ANNE DOLL.  ELOISE, A FAIRY TALE DOLL ON THE FAR RIGHT BY JASMOON BUTTERFLY IN ENGLAND.

AN ALICE OR TWO, A CHESHIRE CAT (MADE BY ME) A PIG (FROM THE SCENE IN THE DUTCHESS AND THE COOK IN ALICE IN WONDERLAND) AND A RABBIT.

A PEAK INTO MY DOLL CHINA CABINET

A VINTAGE RED RIDING HOOD MY HUSBAND GAVE TO ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY LAST YEAR.  SHE IS SO CHARMING!

THIS IS NOT THE DOLL I HAVE, BUT I PURCHASED ONE VERY SIMILAR TO HER BY BAGGARAGGS.  MINE IS CALLED 'BOTANICA FEY' AND A STORY COMES WITH THE DOLL.  ON MY LEFT SIDEBAR IS THE LINK TO BAGGARAGGS DOLLS BY ROBIN RIDENER.  WHAT A TALENTED GAL SHE IS!

I DO ENJOY CREATING MIXED MEDIA ART, SO WHEN MY DAUGHTER HAD OUR FIRST GRANDDAUGHTER, I FOUND ONE OF MY DAUGHTER'S VINTAGE 'LITTLE MERMAID' PUZZLES AND I GLUED IT ON TO A CANVAS I HAD PAINTED AND ADDED SEA SHELLS AND YARN WHICH LOOKED LIKE SEA WEED, AS MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S ROOM IS DECORATED IN THE  'LITTLE MERMAID MOTIF.

I have a friend who said, she admires things in stores, and if she bought and brought home everything she has a delight in, she would never have room for all of it.  So, with that in mind, I get my 'fill' of day dreams and I go to Yahoo and type in a search word such as 'handmade doll images' and Wallah! There before my very eyes are photos and photos of mouthwatering confections, which is marvelous as many of those dolls are available on Etsy.

I DO ENJOY COLLECTING VINTAGE LINENS AND I COULDN'T RESIST THIS ONE I FOUND IN AN ANTIQUE COLLECTIBLE STORE.  IT IS DEFINITELY MARIE ANTOINETTE IN STYLE

And there are the new creators who post their new work on Etsy or on Ebay, who join in the throng of entrepreneurs vying for the buyers of Wonderland to become spellbound by their delicate wares.  

MORE OF MY VINTAGE LACE FINDS

It is the comradeship of kindred spirits which drew me to create my own blog just for the purpose of encouraging other creative souls. And I have enjoyed every minute of it!  And I hope to continue to do so, as it is such a wonderful vision to awaken the creative genius which resides in every one of us.

PLEASE BE SURE TO VIEW MY SIDE BARS ON EITHER SIDE AS THERE IS A WORLD OF CREATIVITY LINKS TO EXPLORE, NING SITES TO JOIN, ETSY ARTISTS TO VIEW, AND OTHER BLOGGERS WHOM I HAVE COME TO DEEPLY ENJOY AS FRIENDS!


I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THIS POST.  IT'S JUST A PEAK INTO MY WORLD OF CREATIVITY AND JOY!

BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!
