bloomin'cool

i have some fab news to share and have been waiting
ever so patiently for the day to come when i could share it with you!

so here it is....

i had the absolute pleasure of being a contributing artist to
"in this garden" by angela cartwright and sarah fishburn
it will be released by quarry april 2009,it is sure to be a
visually delicious follow-up to the "in this house" bestseller!

"in this garden:explorations in mixed-media narrative"
can be pre-ordered on amazon
or
pick one up at rock paper scissors
where the garden will be bloomin' in april 09!

this & that

is it so wrong to celebrate a birthday of one's own with an
extravagant,impulsive purchase?
well,probably in this unstable economy.yes.
but it feels so right.and so soft and so perfectly
suited to my leaf green eileen fisher boiled wool coat
that i impulsively bought to mark last years 50th b-day.
anyway,i lovelovelove this Organic Cotton Leafy Scarf in Fresh Cream
and plan to incorporate it into my everyday.
happy birthday to me!
and happyhappy to you if you visit and purchase from sarah at fray,
a delightful experience all the way around.

it has been awhile since i have mentioned a new favorite artist,
but have you heard sharon little? or seen her?
watch for her,she is terrificly talented.
i got to see her as the opener for alison krause/robert plant..
an amazing show.

that's that!

have been born into this
fab month i have *updated
my etsy shop!

if i could knit...

...i would have one of these. a yarn tamer.
made exclusively for rock paper scissors by my pal tom kiddy.
each one handcrafted with the utmost care and detail...hmmm
i think i'll have one waiting in the wings when i finally do start working in yarn ;)

and upon closer examination you can see the artfully encrusted polymer
crochet hook that my precious friend corey makes....convo her here for your very own!

just thought you should know.
