resurrection fern

it was the little things

and the friends i met in real life

that made 2011 a very special year for me

"Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars-mere globs of gas atoms. I too can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?....What is the pattern, or the meaning, or the why? It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little about it. For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined it."

richard p feynman, 1963

life is short 

don't forget to play in the snow

love to all

a quieter snow covered morning

in the land of resurrectionfern

some family has already returned to the east coast (r&m)

some have departed for snowy journeys east to visit family and friends

others are resting up for some exciting new years plans 

I am tidying up, doing laundry, listening to the she and him christmas cd 

and staring at the large pile of thrifted cashmere sweaters that I plan to start cutting into

after this post

last night i felt like this lamb in a pea pod but it is amazing what 10 hours of sleep can do

hot off the press

bah mag issue no 5

only one of many gifts arounna gives to us

happy to have been a small part of it 

with my handmade candles

making and decorating

candles has been a

tradition in my family 

for decades

they would make really wonderful last minute gifts

this moment

smelling the fresh tree thawing out in the living room

listening to my favorite christmas songs

sipping a warm drink

knitting up the last few rows of a gift

sharing my chair with arwen

enjoying the view outdoors 

a dusting of fresh snow

and the late day sun

:)

more seaside inspiration

while i continue on my working all day

secret projects by night

and 

in between getting the humble abode

ready for the arrival of the clan

let me show you a few more pictures from the seaside

south of boston

the last one is a piece of a lobster trap trapped in a frozen tidal pool

i was really intrigued by this hand painted street sign

any thoughts on the meaning of it?

 

even the tidal pools are getting ready for christmas

i found so much

seasonal inspiration 

along the shore

while

exploring the stones and tidal pools 

at minot beach

scituate, ma

every little periwinkle was growing its very own christmas tree

i had never been by the ocean in december

i am certain if i lived here 

my seasonal decor would be very inspired by what i discovered this day
