handmade gorgeousness found here |
This Moment |
I found joy in:
the soft touch of a blue feather
darling red birds to hang for the tree
the thoughtfulness of a thrifting goddess and friend
paper animals made by little hands with love
the earthy sweet smell of pressed beeswax
a girl's bright eyes as she delicately paints
two happy kids who found a new way to "box" each other
And one more for joy to grow on:
paper animals made by little hands with love
the earthy sweet smell of pressed beeswax
a girl's bright eyes as she delicately paints
two happy kids who found a new way to "box" each other
And one more for joy to grow on:
The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
with a Glass Harp
with a Glass Harp
much love and joy to you

ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! Have not heard of Joy Pockets before, will have to check that out! I love your blog! It's just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOur moment comes from our Christmas tree search this week! The only thing that could have made that day any better would have been if there was some snow on the ground!
