gifts

'in every walk with nature
one receives far more than he seeks.'
~ john muir

a cardinal feather - 
many a blue jay, sea gull and more neutrally colored feather have been picked up by myself or the kids... but never one that glowed red... 


inspired by leaves and trees... 
always... 


i bring the gifts inside with me - and place them on my bench... feathers, nests, leaves, acorns...

    A cardinal feather - such a rare gift. Love the necklace and the earrings!!! So we are both gatherers - I have little stashes of pods, feathers, pebbles everywhere...

    MD - you are safe amongst a community of gatherers - nature gives on so many levels; and your earrings are beautiful in the metal working and the design. Lucky Lisa if they are going to be hers. Go well. B

    Your tiny little copper leaves are amazing. My window sill over my work table is full of little things I find. I have cardinals that visit my bird feeder through out the day. It's right outside my studio. These little gifts from the earth are comforting as they are inspiring.

    I love fall for the leaf colors and especially the sumac leaves, a few of which I press and save every fall. I have a few years' worth now and they continue to inspire me.

    Oh my gosh - I cant believe I missed out on the chance to buy these gorgeous earrings! They are so beautiful my friend - you are totally back in your element!!

    We have been gone forever it seems and it is so good to finally be able to visit blogs again - I am so far behind. Have missed seeing your beautiful creations.

    You are in my thoughts - I wish you happiness and peace~~
