Here are a few photos of what's been happening in the last week or so. An awesome foggy beach walk with friends, a pancake-filled brunch gathering, and lots of lots of work, amongst other things. Enjoy!

Around the House
As is most often the case these days, this afternoon found me at home working on new pieces, editing photos and packaging up orders. As the holidays creep closer I am trying to gear up for what I hope will be a busy season. This is my first holiday season selling jewelry full time so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. I have a lot of plans though, and I'm excited to put them into action. I am trying (and mostly succeeding) to keep a cool head and not get overwhelmed by all of the million "To-Do's" constantly running through my head. The pile of lists on my desk is getting pretty ridiculous.
Still, I couldn't be happier than when I'm sitting at my desk in my bright, cozy home, golden evening light streaming in the window, creating something and getting paid for it. How cool is that?!
The light was so pretty this evening I thought I'd take a few photos. Enjoy!

Potluck
Recently we went to a friend's potluck/going away party. It was a lovely evening full of friends, good food, and lots of little rugrats running around. It was a good reminder of how much I need/want community in my life (a topic I've been thinking about a bit lately) and of how easy it is to hole up in our little space and just work all the time. I brought my camera with me (always) and shot a few photos that I liked, so I thought I'd share. Hope you had a great weekend too!
A Walk in the Woods
We went out this afternoon between rain showers looking for mushrooms. While we only found a handful of fungi, the forest was beautiful, dripping with rain and streaming light, everything a deep glowing green. I love trying to catch all of the small moments of beauty that are awaiting us in the world, if only we take the time to look. Here are a few photos attempting to do just that. Enjoy!
A Quiet Day
Today I am having one of those days where I don't feel like doing anything. I want to cuddle up on the couch with a hot cup of tea and a book or movie. Take a nap. Maybe have pancakes for dinner. These days I seem to always be going a mile a minute with various plans, social events, projects and work. So, today I have decided to embrace this feeling and just enjoy a nice quiet afternoon. In the meantime, here are some photos from the last few days. Enjoy!
