Mackworth Island Fairy Village

What a delight to find this magical place! A village built just for Fairys. My very favorite dwelling is the one built overlooking the water. I'm sure the Fairys come dance every night in this lovingly constructed community.

Visit to Exeter NH

My friend introduced me to Exeter NH, and I had a blast exploring.

My creative muse couldn't help but have her spirits lifted. I loved the old Handkerchief Factory - Which has a sign on it's building - Fabric and Furniture. We spent quite some time admiring the beautiful fabric. I even came away with a few ideas for my jewelry from there.

It was a delight to explore the craft and antique/junk stores in Exeter, too.


Here are a few of my photos:








What a treasure trove of colors and designs!



My dear friend...


An "everything store" full of the old - from antique hats to sleds and more...





HOT day - we visited a farm that now sells homemade ice cream - Yummy!

Our friend the turtle made a dash for under the car. Luckily he came out the other side before we had to drive. He sure could move fast for a little fella.

Favorite Beach

On a clear evening you can see Boston from the beach.




Hanging with our friends...

I'm BACK!!! New post...

I've been away from blogging for too long.
First, it was a home renovation which took my attention away - Painting walls, etc.
Then it was the holidays - work and other stuff...


But, now I'm back in full swing.

I'm always looking for sea glass, shells and other interesting items for my jewelry and art work.
Recently, I explored several beaches. Here are some of the photos I've taken:




Singing Beach is lovely, but it was sooooo clean - no rocks, shells or sea glass.
