Today is fairy day!

How was your weekend?
I had a great one.
Did you do anything to celebrate the solstice?
It's not my favorite time, but I am happy
that the days are going to start getting shorter soon. 
 

 ...................................................................

 I found some really great memes

the other day and wanted to share them here.

I do most of these..worrying less is something 

I need to work on though, lol

 This one is my favorite. 

I love the idea of just being comfortable with yourself.

 Obviously, this one goes without saying.

Did you know today was fairy day?

I used to have a little party to celebrate the day..

I didn't have a chance this year, but in case you're 

interested, if you click here 

you can visit a couple fairy parties that have gone by:)

..........................................................................

 

Well, I'm about to start dinner 

so i better get going for now.

 I hope you have a magical day💞

 

 

crafts and magical gifts

The heat has arrived!! Well, a little bit..

It will get much hotter before we get out of the month.

Good news is...Monsoon season starts on Saturday!

I look forward to hearing thunder and smelling the rain come in.

It peaks in July😀 but sometimes we get lucky and it drops sooner.

It's getting closer to Halloween!

We only have 

139 Days left!!!

 I have a few things I've been making lately..

This is a book trinket box

A couple of cookie cutter witches

made of clay..

 

These paper mache dolls are a work in progress,

(Can you tell one of them is Frida?)

So is this junk journal..I absolutely love

Where The Wild Things Are!! 

It's the first book I remember reading.

I'll show you the pages 

once I'm done with it.

I found this quote a while ago, and I feel it's

fitting in perfectly with how I want to live my life.

I think if you look for magic everyday, you WILL find it.

Lately it seems as though magic and gifts keep 

drifting into my world.

Here's a little list of amazing things that have happened:

 

I recently had a visit to my doctor and he told me I 

was done with my post-operative bi-annual appointments, 

I don't need to go back!

That is Magic to me!!

....................................................

 oooh, I was given this candle the other night!

It smells like the green tea perfume

from Elizabeth Arden:)

 

This next candle smells just like a coffee shop, SO GOOD!!

It's so saturated, the whole house was filled with this 

incredible scent...

 

 

The view out of my kitchen window,

 

 

 

New magazines with my favorite birds

and projects!

I love all things Haunted Mansion so

this giant box with the hitchhiking ghosts was

such a great surprise.

This was gifted to me yesterday.

One of the lovely little hummingbirds

posing for me...

These are bookends!!!

Incredible, stunning, glittery bookends💫

I love all these amazing treasures!!

I think my favorite one is this one:

Peeves just getting ready for a nap.

...................................................................................

Well, I have to get going for now..

I hope everyone is doing well.

I'll be by later to visit.

 

It used to be this, now it's that

How are you?

I'm feeling great! 

Just now getting ready for some

chamomile tea and hummus toast .

How are we in the middle of the year already??

This year has really gone by faster than I can believe!

I'm not a big fan of Summer..

probably because we have Summer weather

 for about five months out of the year.

Although I do love our monsoons😀

...................................................................................

So have you been creating lately?

I bought a couple little ceramic mushrooms at the dollar store 

and since I cannot leave things the way they are,

changed them up a bit & turned them into tiny fairy houses.

Think I'll get a few more and turn them into a village for our mantle.

Originally, they had shiny dark brown and maroon tops.

 

 

There's also a design team project to show you too!

Last week, the weather was actually incredibly mild, cool for us.

So I went for a walk at a trail nearby.

I spotted a little light bulb on the ground and immediately thought,

that could be turned  into a bug, lol

 

 

 

After painting the metal part with copper glitter paint

& attaching a Carnival Cupie head to the end,

I added cardboard wings

 and popped him inside a clear plastic craft ornament that I had embellished 

with metallic ribbon.

 

you can find adorable doll parts at

Lisa Kettell's Etsy 

The ribbon and the craft ornament are from Dollar Tree.

Well, my tea is ready, So I'll leave you with this sunset photo I took a few days ago.

Have a great Sunday!
