Solstice Fae


for you and me
and 
all the creatures large and small

on the longest night
the shortest day
she appeared from the winter forest
with a garland of candles as her crown
to light the way

for you and me
and 
all the creatures large and small

more and more light
each day
~


welcoming the light


~
beautiful Solstice to you!

Baby Booties


lovely and talented friend Janice

made my grandson Jayce these magically fun booties!!!

I was entirely surprised when they arrived in the mail. 
Had to wait to show you until they were given to Jayce, it's a surprise you know ;-)



complete surprise and joy 
over Jayce's first Christmas present!


and 
she made me a beautiful snowflake
it dances above my desk:

Janice is kindhearted, talented, thoughtful and a beautiful woman. 
Thank you so very much Janice!

The winter fairy showed up in my painting


and rightly so!

winter has arrived in our neck of the woods

I am jointing Tiny Woolf
and other artists for the drawing theme: Garland

  
I looked around my wee cabin,
found every window cloaked as a garland


totem art


trinkets of beauty

like marshmallow cream, everywhere!
