Latest Love - Montana Agate

At the latest gem show I fell in love with the earthy colors and patterns of Montana Agate.  Each one is different, some with crazy abstract lines and dots - can't wait to set them into rings!

Seattle Summer

This is what a summer day in Seattle looks like :)  Snapped this while passing by Lake Union today - I never tire of looking at the water and boats.

Home Cooking

Creativity manifests itself in various ways - sometimes with mixed results...  This time all were satisfied.

Cosmo Girl - We Will Miss You

Midsummer

Taking a minute to savor fresh fruit and a book...  Summertime is so short....

Minutes, Moments

Recently I've been preoccupied.  A new collection unfolding, preparations to a trade show, but somewhere in the busy schedule there must be room for personal time.  Even if it's minutes - living in the moment, so refreshing, and delicious.

BOOKS -

My husband surprised me with this one - "Yes, Chef" by Marcus Samuelsson.  I love reading about people who have a creative passion in life, and their path to what they cherish and love most in life.  This one is written in a very straightforward way, such a great tread.

FLOWERS -

Always have to have some of those - even if it is the tiniest bloom.  Nasturtiums always cheer me up with their color and an interesting shape.

RAIN -

Yes, rain.  An occasional rainy day in the summer feels like a gift of time to refocus and recharge.  I always get most things done on a rainy day.
