Before I get started, I am thinking of changing my banner...



It would look something like this.
What do you think?











Yesterday was so beautiful out, I went to the beach to do some treasure hunting.
You can see in the shadow above the bag I am holding full of shells and things.
I ended up wandering around a lot longer than I had anticipated, it was perfect!!!
I wish it were that nice again today, but it is overcast.

Last night was the opening celebration for Present, a local holiday shop downtown here in Gloucester. It went really well and was such a good time!!!
Now I am getting ready for a fair in New Hampshire tomorrow.
I have to finish some nuno felted headbands, maybe a mermaid or two, get the wool I washed in for to dry, pack the car...
I am leaving tonight to go get my friend who is also doing the fair (she actually told me about it), we are going to go tonight and stay at her mother's house so that we are closer tomorrow.

I think this weekend is going to be busier that I realize.
Travel tonight, fair tomorrow, game night with friends tomorrow night, big anniversary sale going on the whole weekend at the local yarn shop (and I definitely what to take advantage of that!), then hopefully a knitting get together at a friends house sunday afternoon/evening!
I also have a lot of other things that need creating to add to the shop downtown, but I think I will focus more on that next week...

So, any big plans for your weekend?

I so desperately needed to spend some time at the beach today.
I needed the salt air,
the wind in my hair,
the sound of the water and seagulls.
I needed to be in that space where the ocean meets the river.
To collect shells,
to hold one,
pray into it
and release it back into the waters it came from.

The moon is still out today.
It was so amazingly beautiful last night,
big and red and hanging low in the sky!
A red harvest moon.
It was so low it was almost on top of the ocean it was reflecting off of.
I wish I had my camera with me!

It is a true New England fall day.
Hope you enjoy yours!

sunny fall days...














A beautiful fall day
at Wingersheek beach
which is right at the mouth of the Annisquam river...

I love the color of the water
and the marsh grass.
I love winding waterway
and the contrast of textures it creates on the landscape.
And I love the smell of the briny sea air.

I woke up this morning feeling anxious,
not exactly sure why,
just a general overwhelmingness.
Maybe its the sharp wind that is moving through the trees
forcing them to dance a frantic ballet...

Either way, it sure is beautiful out.
What are you up to today?
