I Dream of Beading

Wander with Color Friday - Saturday, April 30 - May 1

Wander with Flair Sunday May 2

I'm off to I Dream of Beading in Poughkeepsie NY for a trunk show and 3 days of classes. I'll come loaded with bead soups and books (Beaded Colorways and Eye For Color) - hope to see you there!

Jerry's Garden

He designed the front garden and pulled me in to help choose plants. How fun to work together in the soil!

Oh to be a kid again!

Shades of Blue

Looking up

to a riot of spring colors:

Akebia (chocolate vine)
Crab Apple
Maple
Apple
Crab Apple
Crab Apple in B&W - such delicate blossoms
Lenten Rose in B&W - okay I looked down!

Driftwood

Winter storms stripped beaches down the island and deposited piles on our beach. So many logs - some with gnarled roots and limbs, others straight as telephone poles, all weathered a silvery brown and smooth from their rolling journey across the water. What is their story? Where are they from and where are they going?

So glad they stopped by!

Finding orange on the beach

Artfest in full color

Oh to wear red and purple, with rings on every finger and bells on every toe and to drive around eating desert first!

You simply can't miss another ArtFest!

p.s. doesn't Joie look fabulous against that door?!
