Happy Sale Extended

Due to the fact that my ceramics were a long time getting fired, I have more items that I wanted to be in the sale, so I am extending my 5% off (to get the 5%, type in HAPPY for the coupon code) and free shipping in the US and reduced shipping out of the country for another week, until next Monday. I will again be adding new items all week. I always love to hear your input about new pieces. Thank you so much to the many of you who have bought, I am busy as a bee wrapping and packing. Soon I will be posting about other things, but now is the season :-). Love. Happy Cyber Monday! XOXO

Black Friday HAPPY Sale!

Since this is the biggest shopping weekend of the season I thought I would give you more incentive than free shipping in my ETSY shop, until Tuesday I am also giving 5% off all items for my bloggers only as well as free shipping in the US. ETSY has a new thing called coupon codes, the code for this sale is HAPPY. Not sure how this works, but I think the coupon code thingy should appear when you buy something, when it does type in HAPPY. Have a wonderful Friday!XOXO

Being Thankful and Finding the Golden Nuggets

I love Thanksgiving. Being grateful and food, what is not to love about that. However, I think it is important to be thankful on a daily basis. I have come to realize that no matter who you are, life will hand you good stuff and what we see as bad stuff. I think there is a sort of balance to it. No matter what bad stuff happens there is always what I call a golden nugget, always something sweet and gleaming to focus on in each day. Some days I have to look hard for the nugget, but it is always there and when I find it I am so grateful, sometimes the bad stuff turns out to be a nugget in disguise :-). I am wishing you all a wonderful, gleaming Thanksgiving! Lots of Love.

XOXO
P.S. I am giving away free shipping in the US in my ETSY shop until Monday!

See post below.

New Ceramics and Free shipping in the US!

These are just a few of my new pendants and wall hangings, I always like to hear your feedback! From now until Monday evening the 30Th I will be giving away free shipping in the United States and reduced shipping everywhere else in my ETSY shop. I will also be adding new things to the shop all week, so check back often.

Happy Happy Saturday!!! XOXO

Animal Wednesday and other stuff

I thought for the next 3 Wednesdays I would feature one of my boys.

This is Spike. He is a most wonderful cat. Spike is Mr. B's brother and

he is the cat I give SubQ fluids to twice a week. He is a trooper and I love

him with all my heart.

Also now in my ETSY shop, little mod 4"x 4" paintings based on drawings

I did for pages for Mim's Artshine book.

Last, but not least, it is my Mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom! I love you.

Happy Animal Wednesday! XOXO

The Lightness of Being

Lately I have been thinking about becoming lighter. I want to be so light that I float.

I am not talking about weight here, though being lighter in that way would be good :-).

I am talking about being light in my heart, being light in my thinking. I hang on to so much junk, junk that mostly comes from other people and junk that I make up, stories I tell myself that are not true, or even if they are, they are junk and I don't need it. All that stuff weighs me down makes me think that things matter when they really don't. I want to let go and fly. Since I have been doing "the process" (see other posts about this) I have become lighter. My goal is to have no goals :-). Except to lighten up, don't take anything seriously and have more fun. It may seem trivial, being light and having fun, but I think it is a very worthy goal, it makes one more fun to be around, it spreads joy, it heals. I am off to paint and glaze and start my Christmas list. I am off to float and fly. Happy Sunday!!! XOXO

Animal Wednesday

This is Finn. A client's dog. I love him as if he were my own :-). I took this silly little video the other day, as you can tell my video skills have not improved one bit. Also a coyote ran in front of my car today, I did not have time to get a photo, but she was beautiful. Changes are afoot. Happy Animal Wednesday! XOXO

Babies, Tarantulas and Bears, Oh My! (I am a Great Aunt!)

First, My niece, J had a baby (P) over the weekend, isn't he a sweetie!

We have all waited a long while for him, WELCOME little P!

Next my friend Becky came up to Taos for a visit this week and she brought me this wonderful bear she made as a gift. Isn't he wonderful!

We also went on a hike and while out in the forest we came upon this stupendous Tarantula, I love them and had to get a photo.

That's all for now. Happy Thankful Thursday! XOXO

Animal Wednesday (My Boys)

It is hard to do a post about my boys and not include my Mr.B, but we have to start sometime.

It has been a month and a half since he passed, but we still miss him very much. The first photo is one of Spike and Max, being lovely, the bottom photo is my dog, Zeus trying to eat dinner and my cat max stealing food from him. This happens everyday! Zeus is such a sweet old dog, he lets him get away with it! Happy Wednesday everyone! XOXO
