Finally traded with the lovely Paula of Phaulet at the last Portobello West Market. She makes really pretty and unique jewelry. She works in resin, sterling silver with vintage images. I picked up this lovely set of earrings and adorable bunny/squirrel necklace. All of her work is double sided and she picks the greatest vintage-retro images. As she says herself, Phaulet is: "....Inspired by unusuals stories, vintage illustrations and bizarre dreams".

Happy Friday!!

This morning I ran out of milk. Which is a morning catastrophe for me. I need milk for the coffee and breakie. Or else I can't start the day and get to work. So instead of hopping on my bike and making it a quick errand, I went for a walk and brought the camera. Vancouver has so many beautiful things growing this time of year and I always mean to take photos, but always put it off. So, I took a couple extra minutes and enjoyed the walk. Anyhoo, hope you're all enjoying spring where ever you are. Hope the buds around you are making you smile. (^___^)

This week I got the best surprise in the mail. My lovely auntie sent one of her beautiful quilts in the mail as a wedding present. I've always drooled over her beautiful handmade quilts, but honestly never thought I would ever own one. My grandma (my mum and aunt's mother) used to make quilts for her grandkids' wedding before she passed. So I just never expected to get a handmade quilt in my lifetime. We used to spend quite a bit of time at my auntie's farm when I was little and growing up, and I adore her. So, to receive this beautiful quilt from her got me a little teary eyed when I opened the package. It even smelt like her house!! Things are so precious when you least expect them. (^___^) Now at night when I'm worrying about life's stupid problems, I get a cup of tea, a book and curl up in this quilt full of love.
