My Hearts a Flutter

    I recently moved to Healdsburg Ca- it is rich with art, amazing food, fabulous hiking and super yummy shopping

Upon exploring downtown Santa Rosa I happen to come across Carolina & Co

a beautiful boutique filled with all my hearts desire, the shop owner Carol Prezel is super fun, its obvious she has found her niche

being a ribbon fanatic i couldn't help but squeal at her selection

 The shop offers custom embroidery as well, wich can be found on their website

             The larger striped ribbon is made from fabric - beautiful body and color:::

i couldn't pass up the Bee ribbon, too fun 

Happy Valentines Day

found object art journal

I have been doing a lot of travel this past year with this certain "Brave Boy" whom I adore::::

everything tends to center around the great outdoors, lots of amazing hikes surrounded by my most favorite inspiration- Tree's

here are some of the beginnings of this metal journal, that I will bind after I complete the pages, allowing for the bulkiness of leaves and organic treasures

everything that i love, copper solder metal findings, even a little paint
