The Path.

Happy Saturday...

No, I am not drinking already.  

I work Friday through Monday, so Tuesday is my Saturday.

 There is nothing like waking up naturally then enjoying a little breakfast in bed.

Knowing it's the first day of Spring makes today seem a little brighter.

It's a time of disconnected space....connecting.

 A path is formed.  

This path is visible, which makes the "what if" surface.

There might be 5 reasons why you shouldn't do something new today, but 1 really good reason to go for it.

It's the connected space...the path...made for you!

Today...Tonight...

Where will you go...what will you do with it?

Enjoy!

For some of you SPRING is in the air...

 The birds are out...

 singing a lovely song...

 and doing a little happy dance.

With fresh snow falling, I can only imagine the warmth and ease of each step that a spring day brings. 

Thanks to Kathleen Young, a talented blogger and photographer, at 

Chronicles of a County Girl, I'm able to capture a bit of what is to come. 

How are you enjoying today?

Oak Hill Designs .... Giveaway

If you haven't been to Etsy in a while you are most likely missing out.
If you haven't been to Oak Hill Designs...you really are missing out!


Settled in the small town of Estherville, Iowa you will find the creator, Lynn, along with
 her family and their admittedly spoiled cockapoo, Tate.

Inspired by knowing each and every custom designed~ hand stamped piece of
 jewelry she makes will brighten someone's day, Lynn got the push she needed 
to make designing her full time passion.


While making jewelry keeps her busy, being a mother is also a top priority. If she is not sitting in the stands cheering at her daughter's softball games she can be found at her son's tennis match.  After all the yelling and cheering you might find her curled up with a Flea Market Style magazine or walking through an antique store.

Currently on OHD there are over 80 items to look at.

If you don't see exactly what you want and/or you want to mix it up a little...
that's ok, she loves to do custom orders!

Below:
a one inch sterling silver washer is stamped with 'the love between a mother and daughter' and the 1/2 inch brass disc is stamped with 'forever' and topped with a sterling silver heart. 

Perfect for Mother's Day...

When I asked Lynn about her favorite piece, the answer didn't come easily. She is continually being inspired by her customers, so it's always changing.  Her new 'full of love' piece (below) is currently at the top of the list.  With that being said.... we think it's the perfect item to share with one of you.

To win this necklace:

Behind the wheel

Since moving into the city I haven't been driving...

 In fact, I've only driven 2 times in 1 1/2 months and ridden in a car 2 times.  

Today, however I am going to take an over night trip to Maine with some friends. 

I love little road trips, so 5 1/2 hours in the car sounds like so much fun.

Have a great couple days...
