Changes....

I used to be faithful to my blog and I loved every second of it. I miss it. Even though I don't even know who, if anyone, read my posts. It always felt freeing for me to share my love of crafting, daily life and my inspirations.

We have relocated to Atlanta, GA and I have to say that I am loving it here. I'm more of a small town girl (preferably by the ocean) so I wasn't real sure about living in a big city.  Well, we live in the heart of the city and we have taken right to it. We can walk to great restaurants, parks, the kids schools, etc.  We've never had this before. We've always had to be in the car for long periods of time to get to places. While, yes,  the housing is more expensive, but I rarely have to put gas in my car anymore! Not to mention the peacefulness that can't be bought of not having to be stuck in the car so much.

Atlanta is artsy, open, nice, and inspiring.  Lately, I've been making jewelry out of bottlecaps, small pieces of metals, old salvaged books, and junk. They are so much fun. I will share soon.

Thanks for listening. :)

I'm Back.:)

I haven't made a blog post in a long, long while, but I'm going to get back to it! I'm re-opening my Etsy shop and am going to start doing art & craft shows again. I'm doing a show on Saturday and I'm really excited about it.

I'm going back to doing more than sewing these days and more of a variety of making things from all kinds of salvaged materials. Lately I've been making lots funky, inspirational signs and other fun paintings, along with other things using seashells and other fun things. I have a new name for my Etsy shop. It's what I originally wanted to call it, July Moon.

I made a treasury list today. I forgot how much fun they were to do! Here it is.

Who am I?

"Who am I? I'm a poet. My business? Writing. How do I live? I live.
In my happy poverty I squander, like a Prince, my poems and songs of love.
In hopes and dreams and castles-in-air, I'm a millionaire in spirit."

Rodolfo sings this in "La Boheme"

Closing my Etsy shop :(

Though it saddens me, I'm closing my Etsy shop. I used to have much more time to give to it and to my crafting and now I simply don't. I think that the lack of time for my passion of creating things is what saddens me the most. I've marked down everything 50% off and every purchase of $30 or more will receive free shipping.

I know I haven't been blogging much lately ( I miss that too). I will still be a salvager, crafter, mother, nature loving, God loving yoga girl and hope to have more time soon to share my whims and life at our house with you. I love the people that I connect with through this blog.  It is nice to know that there are so many soul sisters and kindred spirits out there.

Love and Peace,
Emily

A perfectly kept house is the sign of a misspent life...

I love this book and I couldn't have said it better myself!

Autumn Welcome

Well,  I wasn't sure what would happen with the whole concept of the beautiful season of Fall once we relocated to South Florida. I am happy to say that I can feel it in the air. YAY!  I hung up my banner and am happy for it's arrival. I've been drying and putting up my herbs from my herb bed and baking lots of cinnamony things and pumpkin breads along with burning candles that smell like I'm baking cinnamony things and pumpkin breads. I can sense that before long I will be enjoying my yearly viewing of Little Women.

Moon Owl Pillow

 

 This is a new pillow from my etsy shop. I had fun making it. It's all recycled soft wools and I filled it with organic buckwheat hulls that I scented with natural clove oil. I think I'm going to make some small owl ornaments next! Love and peace to all!
