New Shop Item Peek


In keeping with the Faith theme I set out to make a few little pieces for the shop using some wonderful early Conformation Photos I came across. This photo of a young girl in tinted in a sepia toned ink and is dated 1904, very beautiful dress. I used this image for a new tin, this tin is filled with vanilla scented candles. Well it's back to school tomorrow, my daughter who is 4 is so excited to go to JK....and so am I! You can only keep them entertained so long by the end of the summer the kids are getting a little crazy.

Angel Of Faith


Every now and then I pick up my Angel Oracle cards for insight and words of wisdom to keep me going. This is the card I drew, the Angel of Faith and here is what it said.

We may find when life's trials are weighing heavily on us, that we can find the faith that all will come right. This faith sustains us through the hard times. We may stumble along and lose our way, but faith ultimately for our highest good can raise us above our doubts and despair. Faith is the belief that whatever it is you are asking God to deliver is already on its way. Faith is the acceptance of uncertainty and the firm belief that all comes right in the end.

In this age of instant gratification we lack the opportunities to express our faith except when grave crisis comes along. Life is really very simple when we have faith. We can follow our heart and live a committed and meaningful life in the faith that we are fulfilling a plan. We rise above our limited egos to have faith in the knowledge that this is a benign and loving universe and that we are a part of the catalyst which is changing the world to a better place.

Faith helps us to wait in patience for the light when we can see only the darkness in front of us. It is an essential component for life to have faith that whatever our destiny is , it is right for us. Faith is an ever-deepening knowledge that we are guided, loved and protected at all times.

We can pray to The Angel Of Faith to help us renew our faith in the process of life. It will help us to accept those things which we cannot change, as well as all that had been given us to work with and refine in our lives. I ask the Angel of Faith to guide me on my path to happiness and healing.

Went to spend some time in the woods, camping under the stars, had a nice camp fire and a bright full moon to light up the night. Gathered some moss and fallen woodland bits and bobs to use for some collage work. Watched some butterflies and chipmunks, and toasted marshmallows. This will be close to the end of the season for camp outs now that the nights are cooler, so before back to school routine starts we had a little break with nature.

New Designs


I have had an idea for a journal cover around for some time now, I just needed to find the right colour papers to make it work. This is the first design made with collaged papers and a vintage photo of a french girl and her doll, the back and inside of the journal is covered with sheet music and tied with a tea dyed lace ribbon. I love this journal I have had it sitting in my studio and I keep glancing over to it. I will be making a matching little tin in the same design with 4 vanilla candles nestled inside. This journal is listed in the shop today. The weather has turned cool so fast here, I can smell fall in the air, witches, pumpkins, apples and crisp night air....my favouritve time of year.
