Creations for the Cure

Some little pretty's I made to raise funding and awareness for the Susan 3 day walk for the cure.This miss fancy pants will be available at Papertales:::

I like working with fabric, the softee necklaces are so light weight with just enough rust and tattered gems to feed the vintage vixen in all of us




I will be bringing my softee necklaces and Mary May I (pictured above and below)
to the domestic bliss event this upcoming weekend:: maybe I can talk a couple of pretty ladies into wearing them :::

Surrounded by Support

This past weekend we gathered together to raise money for the 3 day walk:::

what a blessing it was to have the love and support of all the vendors, friends and family.

Women are powerful especially when we connect - I love all the great inspirational women I have met in my journey to grow as an artist and to bring awareness in the community.

Thank you ladies for your selfless giving and kindness it is priceless and very much appreciated;)

Gina from Lizzy B's donated this awesome pendant on suede cording to our raffle, I love how powerful the message is and yet the simplicity of the medium she chose- very clever, thanks to all who donated to our raffle- it was a huge success!!

View from a Manor:::::

This is the view from our room in Adere Manor::: I just love the change of seasons , especially the leaves. Notice in the background how the landscape of the garden is like a maze

Adere Manor was covered in these leaves

I have been back home for over 10 days, but I am desperatly trying to hold on to all that Ireland gave me, great food, great people, a land where magic happens;)

I Heart Scones and Clotted Cream::::::::

When I travel I find myself alot more in the moment, thankful for every detail.

Time for taking it all in:: allowing myself to go at a pace that is alot more relaxed- I hope to bring this attitude home with me along with all the great images and memories of how amazing the Irish are, I am proud to be part of such positive hard working heritage

OK for the record I LOVE scones with clotted cream, so much so- I cant fit in my jeans;)

Had to show a close up, clotted cream is heavenly


How's this for a mantle? This and the following pictures are of the reading room at Ashford castle- I have added more pics to my flickr

(carved in the mantle)

If I could get away with it I would hang this in my studio(tee hee)

hows that for inspiration

Time to go ::: off to Adere Manor
