Artist Shelfies




Just for something different..
I thought 
a studio tour







by way of 
shelfies







would be a nice change...
after all..
 we are all voyeurs..
aren't we?

we long to look..





to see into the soul..
we think that by viewing the things
a person attracts,

we can know a person better...

but we would be wrong wouldn't we..?









The person I am today,









dear reader, is vastly different from the
person
who began blogging in 2008...









carved and smoothed by both love and loss..
separations..
and new beginnings..









and one cannot ever truly know another..








but still,
my shelves hold treasures that I
adore..






bird nests,
and eggs, real and handmade..

shells and found feathers..






antique bits and books..
jars filled with tiny shells..
metal boxes rusted with age..







all little shrines..
they remind me that it is all for us..
this marvelous world..
made just for us, to enjoy..

how blessed we are...








what's on your shelf?



ciao, ciao!
