Did you know that today, September 6th, is National Read a Book Day??

What a fantastic idea. Lets get to it. ~s

To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself

a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.

jewelry!

Still obsessed with leaves as you can see.
and copper.
and being BOLD.

(be bold pendants in copper and silver in the lower left corner,

eclipse pendant, copper leaf earrings, copper and silver leaf necklace, love necklace

and cloudy day necklace. Chains will be added :)

Things I love right now:
the leaves swirling around in the wind outside my window
herbal tea
the sound of my tumbler tumbling
light rain
reading on my purple couch
the colors of the leaves
lasagna

Today I asked my magic 8 ball...

And here is where I think the day will take me...

- A walk to the post office to mail an etsy order
- A book and coffee at my favorite local place

(right next to the fountain on the square, delightful, especially sitting outside with a light rain)
- The making of a few custom orders
- Feeling quite productive with things like

cleaning and finally cleaning out my car

(all while listening to my favorite Saturday morning programming on NPR)
- Perhaps a movie with a girlfriend
- And then watching the sun go down and seeing where the evening takes me

Just for fun here are the books I am currently reading:

The time traveler’s wife- Audrey Niffenegger
Letters to a young poet - Rilke
Journals of Sylvia Plath
Einstein’s dreams - Alan Lightman
Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers – Leonard Koren
