green is good




in my wanderings around the neighborhood yesterday
i spied some things that i've been waiting (patiently?) for
for a very very long time..



tiny buds, little grasses, sweet ferns (life!)
were pushing up and out of the ground, out of tree branches, bushes, everywhere.
and oh
how happy this made me.
i mean really really happy...giddy in fact.



so giddy that i ran home (mmm..probably more like skipping, actually..)
and immediately started working on
new earrings and pendants
inspired by the new glorious green-ness.

these earrings were the first that i finished..
and there will be more sprouting up in my bead shop
over the weekend.

my musings, on wednesday, of far away beaches and romantic things
are still very much alive and will continue to inspire me throughout the next few months..
it's just that i can now happily add to my collection
inspiration from things closer to home as well.


wishing you a gorgeous holiday weekend
full of inspiration and all sorts of things that make you happy (or even giddy..) too.
