Sledding
We have about a foot of snow here in the foothills, with another foot forecasted tomorrow. Looks like our 3 day weekend will turn into 5 days or more. Yesterday ended with a sledding accident: scratches, broken collarbone and dislocated shoulder. Today we managed to slide down to town for a doctor visit and to ship […]
Landon and Anthony have been working on my dad’s antique coal-burning forge and handcrafting jewelry. Landon brought in this bracelet that he fashioned from a antique silver fork he found buried in the back yard. Pretty cool. Silver bracelet in eden’s bouquet Flea Market Collection, here.

A custom eden’s bouquet Gossamer Tie Dress. The customer requested more ruffles and we added some vintage lace to make it extra special. I love how it turned out.
I drove the logging road to my mom & dad’s house to get my camera one morning and the light was so pretty on the way home I unloaded the little girls for some photos. After tromping out onto the muddy road I realized my camera battery was dead so I tootled home to get […]
