My Table on May 24, 2014

Tiny Bits in tiny pots! So cute!

Beach glass with flowers and leaves.  Lockets displayed on a piece of

driftwood, then the tiny bits, planters made out of stacking beach

glass with lucky bamboo, incense burners made out of bottoms

of old bottles I found on the coast, and then finally, at the far 

end of the table, my shells with flowers and leaves.

I forgot to mention the blue glass jar with bookmarks.

PRESSING POSIES

Pressing Rhododendren flowers to make some artwork with.

"TINY BITS"

My newest item is a tiny flower shaped container with pressed flower petals, ferns or tiny bits of beach glass, shells, pebbles, and driftwood all gathered from the Pacific Northwest. They make great gifts or souvenirs.

Mother's Day

As I stood at my table of pressed flower artwork, in between customers, I watched, I lived, I felt life! A baby eating a giant pretzel, a lady licking the drips of her ice cream cone, bunches and bunches of lilacs held tightly with clasping fingers pass me by. Small children with bright eyes and rosy cheeks out for the quest of finding "Mom" the perfect gift for Mother's Day. It took me to a place of Motherhood as three precious little girls came up to my table. The ponders of my own heart came alive and my soul was flooded with memories of yesteryear. Memories of my own three little girls. Their joy, their laughter their love. The breakfast tray with the glass of dandelions freshly picked from our yard, homemade cards, and the handmade gifts from school. 
They are all grown up now with their own little girls and their own precious memories to ponder. I felt life today, I lived life today. Pages of my mind were turned back in time. I love visiting those pages, especially the ones of my three little girls. My heart overflows with love for you. 

I love you Amber, Bethany, and Cindy with my whole heart.
