It's here!

We are having very severe cold weather. This is definitely not the best time to be standing outside waiting for the postman, but you see, not that I had to, it’s just that I’ve been expecting the delivery of a very special package, so for the past days I’ve bundled up, braved the elements, and lurked. Luckily, and right before frostbite could claim a finger or the tip of my nose, it is here!










Fairy bracelet has been uniquely designed and handcrafted by Joanne May Illustrations and Jewellery Design. Visit her at http://joannemayillustration.blogspot.com and be enchanted!

The photos do not really capture the exquisite details in Jo's creation, but believe me, it is absolutely wonderful!
 
I am very happy my package arrived...and so are my fingers and nose :0)

If hands could free you, heart!




If hands could free you, heart,
Where would you fly?
Far, beyond every part
Of earth this running sky
Makes desolate? Would you cross
City and hill and sea,
If hands could set you free?

I would not lift the latch;
For I could run
Through fields, pit-valleys, catch
All beauty under the sun
Still end in loss:
I should find no bent arm,  no bed
To rest my head

Continuations, beginnings and a big surprise!




A Happy New Year to all! Hope everyone had a beautiful and magical closing to 2009 and that plans for great and wonderful projects are already being made :0)

It is always exciting to start a new year.  Putting away Christmas decorations, cleaning, re-arranging furniture, displaying old and new treasures, being able to rest after the rush of the holidays, starting a new Journal. Little did I know that I would be able to add something even more special to this year's beginning. My good friend, Quillfeather, has bestowed upon me the Best Blog Award! 



Saying that I am happy is an understatement. I guess, "thrilled" is more accurate! I thank you, Quillfeather, for thinking of me, for stopping by and leaving your comments, and for always making me smile. Please visit Quillfeather at her wonderful Blog, W. M. Morrell's Musings from Down Under, http://quillfeather-blog.blogspot.com/  

The harder part of getting an Award is trying to decide who to pass it to! I truly love each and every Blog I follow and visit but, rules are rules, so, I hereby pass the Award to Joan, the lovely creator of Laughing with Angels http://laughingwithangels.blogspot.com/ though I must warn you, once you visit her Blog you will be totally charmed!

May we all continue to share thoughts, ideas, feelings, and laughter. Let the magic shine on!
