A Morning Collection

Just a small collection of things I found on my morning walk in the woods the other day.

I was really excited to find some jack in the pulpits, but what was even better was when I turned my head and saw the whole forest of them on a little faery island in the middle of one of the swampy puddles in the woods!

Also, the lady slippers are starting to bloom!

What curious and elegant flowers they are.

I will have to get some photos soon.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

We have friends visiting and helping Andy with puppet making.

Oh, and after a week or more of straight rain and grey skies,

we finally have some SUUUUUN!!!

Happy Saturday!

A Mineral Collection... and some!

We have some friends that live around the corner that dig for crystals.

It is always so fun to go over there and dig around in the piles for a gem or two...

Or small bucket load in my case!

These are some of the new ones I got yesterday

They are all mined in New England!

(some of the photos aren't as clear as I would like,

it is hard to photograph things that are shiny!)

And here are a couple of new crocheted stones.

I especially love the color of the pink one!

I have some new crochet projects that I have been working on,

Still working on getting the photography right,

but hopefully I will have some more to share soon!

Stay tuned,

I am hoping to get a few prints made this week.

If you are interested, feel free to let me know!

Wishing you all a dandy spring day!

I used to (well still kinda do) collect match books and boxes...

I love these ones!
