In the garden....

...I have been. I've been up to my elbows in dirt, my trowel in tow and have been loving every second. The weather has been gorgeous and sunny and my roses are ready to bloom!



The tea roses are planted under the star birdhouse which now is home to newly hatched sparrows :) I'm always amazed at how a simple act of listening to the birds chirp can delight. My daughter was so fascinated and tried so hard to get a peek at the babies but was content enough to sit under the arbor and watch the momma bird fly in an out. It's the little things that bring the most happiness :)



Treasure hunting has been fun lately! I just listed a great pair of Fire King mugs in the shop. They are in the Blue Heaven pattern from the 1970's. Excellent condition...


In further news on the Etsy front, I have now updated my collage art shop, Unforgettable Art. As if my life isn't busy enough, lol. I adore collage and have just listed a few recent goodies I've made. I'm working on pieces with a knitting theme right now, so you'll see a common theme here :)

"I Prefer Pretty Yarn" is on 8x10 canvas board. I love the expression on the model's face. She won't put up with anything but the prettiest yarn.


Art Tags are also up for sale now - these look great tied onto the handles of a knitting project bag. You can also use them as bookmarks or gift tags. I love them :)


Speaking of knitting - I finished the Holden Shawlette! It's soooo lovely and purple and soft! I can't wait until fall to wear it :) I just have to block it, but here it is in all its loveliness.



I hope all of you have had a very relaxing, fun weekend! Monday morning looms ahead...back to work, kids back to school, and my imaginings and treasure hunting will be fit in among the chaos :)

I will leave you with another favorite Etsy shop of mine. YannPendaries is a professional French photographer - his work is amazing! Take a peek through his shop and I guarantee you'll find at least one piece that you'll spend more than a few moments gazing at :)

I wish you all a wonderful week!!
