Fall is in the Air

It's already dark at 8 p.m.  The air conditioner is off and there is a cool, but welcome breeze coming through the window.  Summer is fading away.  New pencils and erasers have been purchased.  Binders and notebooks are being sorted. New shoes have been bought.  School will begin next week and the house will be quiet during the day.  Even after all these years I still consider September as the start of a new year for me.  A time for change, a time for new experiences.  An inspired energy is awakening.

This lovely autumn inspired acorn is a new addition in my etsy shop.

Enjoy your last week of summer!



Happy New Year...

I still always think of September as a new year, a new start. I guess it goes back to the new school year as a child and continues now with my own children. The fresh new pack of pencil crayons, new backpacks and jeans. Somehow though, this year feels a bit different. The girls are growing up right before my very eyes. My youngest still wanted us to walk to school with her but we were quickly abandoned for school friends that had been missed over the summer. Instead of helping with tying shoes I'm helping with the hair straightener. Where did the time go?

So as we begin September I'm reflecting on the great summer we had together. I'm enjoying the summer-like weather we're having now and excited about the fall weather to come - I love walking our dog on a crisp fall morning. As the girls head to school I will now have some more time to myself to create some new jewellery designs that have been swirling around in my head. Here's one of my new copper earrings that were inspired by my sister Kathy.

Happy 'new year' to everyone.
