I had friends from Colorado visiting this week. Amongst other things, we went to a -----:

Do you know what -----  is?
Have a beautiful weekend, dear friends. Try visiting a ----- .  They are great fun, although they can be a bit tiring!

Shades of brown.

It is almost summer here. I should be photographing blue skies, green grass, colourful flowers. My camera seems to be attracted by shades of brown though. Hmmmm. Maybe it is because I have been re-reading that wabi-sabi book?

Love.

If there is one thing that Snous doesn't lack, it is love, treats and hand-crafted blankies. (Okay, that is more than one thing.) I finished this one last night - a light cotton blanket (for summer), knitted in strips, and joined with crocheting in wool.

Have a lovely weekend, everyone! Do yourself a favour and go walk a dog, yours, a friend's, or one of the dogs at your local dog welfare society. They  get such joy from simple pleasures - we can learn at least that from them ...

New Acquisitions #17

I bought these a week ago at a local "lifestyle" market. A cushion cover ...

a ceramic pendant ...














and a ceramic ring ...

It was a pretty sad market - not many traders / craftspeople, and very few customers. For a while I was the only person wandering from table to table. So, although I like what I've bought, and am using all three items, under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't have purchased these. I bought out of pity. Do you sometimes buy something because you feel bad for the seller?

Because I thought it would be interesting to make one. (Plastic detergent bottle, recycled cardboard bits, old dressmaking patterns.)
