As of late...

Pieces of your spirit...lying in the sand
rest in peace my feathered friend,
soar high above the land.

And then there was this little guy...
And then this!

Happy Autumn!

love and peace always ~ Kathy

Eggs, hikes, a coupon & a winner!

Whoo hoo!!!  Your intuitions were correct, Dana!  Lita picked you to win those awesome earrings from my last post.  Although, you didn't have much competition [sorry Jen], it came down to a right hand/left hand pick, with you being my left hand and Jen being my right...the first hand Lita licked was the winner!  And I promise I washed my hands, so no lingering smells would be left, making the choice biased, one way or the other.  So yay!!!!  I hope you enjoy your little dragons, Dana!!  And thanks to all that read my ramblings and leave comments ~ ya'll are the best!!
I went down to the farm yesterday to bring food scraps to these guys and came home with this:
A huge goose egg!  Now I know folks call it a goose egg when you get a big knot on your head, but I can't imagine having a knot that even remotely resembles an actual goose egg!  This thing is huge!  And I was going to whip it up for breakfast, but I "chickened" out ~ lol.  Has anybody ever eaten a goose egg?  What do they taste like?  Maybe I'll get braver as the day goes by and we'll have it for breakfast tomorrow...or dinner tonight.
 So Wayne, Broc and I went on a hike up to "Big Rock Trail" in Dupont State Forest!  It was a gorgeous day...actually the weather has been amazing!  I really do hope that Winter has come to an end!  When you are standing on the edge of Big Rock, you almost wish you had a giant balloon to float away on...well, PhotoShop can make that a reality!  I love this photo!  Had to share with ya'll!
And since you are all so awesome, I'm offering a 10% discount to all of my blog readers!  All you have to do is enter the coupon code BLOGGER2011 in both my Etsy Shop & Artfire Shop to get 10% off your total purchase!  Happy Spring!!  And now, I gotta run....I'm making something awesome with these:
 Tiny harmonicas and they really play!  They are awesome!!  I'm keeping the red one for myself...I serenaded all of the dying hemlock trees in the forest...hope it helps them, or at least gives them peace...
...I'm calling the first necklace I make "Carry your own tune"...it's a little like "dancing to the beat of your own drummer", of which I can totally relate!

Happy Tuesday!!
♥ & peace always ~ Kathy

Birthdays & Ice Cream!!

Okay, so some of you probably think I'm "nuts" because Ozzy & Lita get treated more like children than dogs [just sometimes]. For their birthdays, I buy little cups of ice-cream for them and they just LOVE it!!! Lita's birthday was Friday and I think it was her best ever:
..that ice-cream made them sleep like little babies! They were in heaven...yes, life is really good for Ozzy & Lita!

The next birthday around here is mine!!! But today, is Jen's!! Happy Birthday, Jen!!! She's one of my awesome [cyber friends] and blog reader. Now, with that being said, I want everybody to leave me a comment and let me know when your birthday is. I'll be sending out a special little "birthday prize" to you on your special day! Of course, you don't have to tell me the year, just the month and day!! It'll be fun and, I promise you'll be glad you told me!
It's finally warmed up around it and it's going to be a gorgeous day! We are headed up to "Big Rock Trail" for a great hike! I'll have more pictures later [of course].

So seize the day peeps!!! Life is good ~ make the most of it!!
♥ & peace always ~ Kathy

I'm A Slacker!

It certainly seems so, at least! Where does the time go? The older I get the less time I have to do things I want/need to do! Like keeping up with my blog posts ~ sorry I've been such a slacker lately, but I promise to do better starting today! So this will be a rather short post, since I'm trying to get some new things made for the shop and to have with me tomorrow at the "Transylvania Tailgate Market". Tomorrow will be my first time setting up there and I hope to have a great turn out. If you live in Transylvania County, please come out to see me. But if you don't get by tomorrow, I'm planning on setting up there on the 3rd Saturday of each month.These awesome "Rock Candy" earrings are the give away for next Wednesday {May 20th}, which is also the day of the American Idol Finale' ~ whoo hoo ~ go Adam! Of course, Kris is awesome too, so this time America actually got it right! All you have to do to win the earrings is comment on this blog post! Ozzy will pick the winner Wednesday. Good Luck!
This is from our hike this week up to "Big Rock" ~ it was awesome! We are going to try and go on a hike at least twice a week, since the weather is just gorgeous right now and before it gets to hot. Wayne is turning into quite the guide lately :)

Have a wonderful Friday!
♥ & peace always ~ Kathy
