summer night

i just got home from an evening walk with my 70-something year old neighbor.  it feels like tonight was a little gift to me from God.  He knew just what i needed.  to get out.  to have company.  to see and hear kids on summer vacation, laughing and riding their bikes together.  to smell the flowers in bloom.  to see the beautiful sky as the sun was setting behind purple clouds.  to watch the fireflies guiding me home.  things that would shake off the weird mood i was fighting today.  things that would make my heart feel full.

i'm going to bed tonight a thankful girl.  i pray this summer holds more nights like tonight - for me, and for you, too, dear ones.  much love.

fun times at the berkley art bash

hi friends!  how have you been?  last week was a good one over here.  things have slowed down a little after the berkley art bash last saturday - thanks to those of you who came out to visit me!  even though it was supposed to rain and storm most of the day, we only had a few sprinkles, and it ended up being a really nice day.  i met a bunch of super nice people (artists and customers), sold some artwork (yay!), and had a truly wonderful time!

a few pics for you from the day:

that's all for now, kids.  hope you're all having a lovely day!

the two As: artwork and ABBA

that's some crazy swedish goodness, if i do say so myself!  the ABBA greatest hits cd is what i've been listening to the last few days as i've been busy preparing for the 10th annual berkley art bash this saturday.  what can i say?  it makes me happy.

hope you're all having a fabulous week!  if you're in the berkley area on saturday, i'll be there from 10-6 - i'd love to see you! 

much love, friends!
