Merry May

It's time to record something about the new month before it's gone in a flash. 

Gardening, thrifting, painting and reading have been some of my May activities.

And I got in a tag making mood. Years ago a good friend encouraged me to make tags. 

 

I have a notebook full of tag examples that were sold to strangers on eBay.

Other sets were given away to friends and family.

I had creative fun again making these two new sets.

Two recent paintings

Thanks for visiting.

If Elaine should drop by, I believe she'll remember those first tags.

September Slips Away

While waiting for an appointment, I admired this wall art.

I noticed the tree first and then the birds. 

This art canvas I was able to bring home and hang in a high spot in the kitchen. Love the word, colors, and simplicity. It was a shopping find at Marshalls.

Yesterday was another shopping day with a friend. The Les Passees Stock Exchange had tons of stuff to view, and Bartlett's Antique Gallery had sales in many booths.

That golden tan color captures my heart every time. 

I'm unable to pass it up if the price is within my means.

Friends are celebrating an anniversary tomorrow so these tags went to the post office this morning.  

Fall is here! 

 September 2015 did not stay long. But thankfully it has been a beautiful time.  

Hooray for Hearts

I'm happy that February, the month of hearts and Valentines, has made its entrance. The tag in the old flower frog was created by artist Colette Copeland(http://a-bird-in-the-hand.blogspot.com/).
