Magnets, a feather, and some crazy sales...

Yesterday I received a sweet little surprise in the mail from my friend Renea.  It was too funny b/c I had added these babies to my favorites last week, and when I opened up the package I was telling James, I didnt order these, I just put them in my favorites!  And he was like, yeah - uh huh - sure babe.  Ill use that one next time!  ha ha.  Then I opened up the card and found a sweet note.  She didnt even know I had favorited them!  Now that is pretty amazing if you ask me.  I love love love.  My fridge needed some new magnets, and I guess this is why I havent just bought some yet.  They are perrrrfect.  They are from Redstar Ink on etsy.  I could literally eat up her shop!

This morning while watering the garden and the bird bath, I found the sweetest feather I think I have ever found.  It was wet from being in the bird bath, but it is just precious.  Another one to add to my little collection.

Now it is time to sit myself down and get some jewelry made while listening to The Civil Wars some more.  Yesterday was CRAZY with the $10 jewelry sale and virtual yardsale on facebook.  You can still join in on the fun, lasts through sunday evening.  I even opened up a $5 print sale of all of my photographs!  Facebook fans only, so you must add me there.  You can find the jewelry sale and yardsale through my photo albums titled as such.  There are instructions listed on each album.  For the prints, you must message me on facebook which prints from my photo shop you would like, for $5 each, that is a steal my friends!

Sing my heart a song...

The past few days have been interesting.  I spent days in what Im calling a zombie like state.  I couldnt really feel any emotions.  Couldnt cry, couldnt smile, couldnt really feel anything.  But then yesterday something changed.  Ive been feeling the urge to sing for the past few weeks.  I dont really know why.  I just have.  I havent been able to stop listening to The Civil Wars cd, and singing along to it.  Well, yesterday while I was home alone, I broke out my hubby's microphone and amp and sang.  And it actually brought a smile to my face and a spring in my step.  So I did it again today, for just a bit b/c I was busy.  But it really makes me happy.  I doubt I will ever sing for anyone, but for me, it is a beautiful release.  

These are the little feathers I have collected from my yard since my life changed almost a month ago now.  I cant believe time sometimes.  It is such a strange creature.  Im collecting these special feathers together and will do something with them after a while.  Not sure what yet, but something special for my home. 

Here is my favorite Civil Wars song to sing...

 

And, I am having a major $10 jewelry sale on my facebook only.  So if you want in on the fun, add me.  There is also a virtual yardsale going on there with some clothes Im letting go of... most are already gone but there is still some good stuff left!  The jewelry sale ends on Sunday evening.

PEACE,

Pieces from our days...

This is how we spend our mornings.  Violet on the leash on the porch (since she still cant run around), Bella plays in the yard and drinks water out of the bird bath, and I sit on the porch and read.  I indulge myself in books on grieving trying to justify all of my emotions.  It is a sacred time to me lately.  Lots of little birdies come play during that time of day too, so its very full of life.

Ive been very happy lately that my hair is getting long enough that I will actually wear it down all day instead of throwing it up in a messy bun like usual.  Its been a nice transition, and something Ive been waiting for for what seems like an eternity.

I always take phone photos while we are driving.  I love them so much because each one is so unpredictable.  Sometimes I like to just throw my camera up at the window and randomly snap to see what will come out. 

This adorable little vintage bag is what I carry my packages to the post office in everyday.  I love it.  I think it is just about the cutest thing.  It folds out big, I think it is suppose to be a laundry bag?  Whatever it is, its cute.

Yesterday we went grocery shopping, and after I unpacked the bags, I looked down to spot this...  so freakin cute.  She just walked right into the bag and layed down.  She loves empty bags and boxes.  One silly cute kitty she is...

I was going to write a bit about how I am feeling tonite, but I think I will leave at this for tonite.  It will much more pleasant that way, and really, I should probably just go to bed.  Tomorrow is going to be a long day.  But luckily part of it is something we have been waiting well over a year for... The showing of Angel and Airwaves movie LOVE is coming to san antonio for a one time live showing.  It is a movie, interview and mini live show all in one broadcasting from Boston.  So very exciting.  If you have never heard AVA, go listen.  Its an experience.
