why didn't I think of that - jealous maker tuesday - chalktrails

OK - this week's find is called the Chalktrail - how cool is this gizmo - it gets kids outdoors and inspires creativity - love it!

(we used to do something like this when I was a kid the old school way - baby brother dangling from back of wagon chalk in hand while we pulled him around the driveway - I think he liked it so much he has his wife still do this with him sometimes, but he probably doesn't want people to know about it so it will just be our secret)

This is a new design project by Scott Baumann in WA and I think you will be seeing these babies everywhere -

I totally want one for every bike in the house!

We had the best weather and I had the most amazing customers- didn't get a cheesesteak but I did slug down half a gatorade that someone had left at my booth when I was dying of thirst and couldn't leave .....(please don't judge me)

Come See Me at Art Star this Weekend in Philadelphia!

Megan and Erin have put together an amazing show this Mother's Day weekend and I will be in Booth 18, at the Great Plaza at Penn's Landing in PA, so if you are in the area stop by and say hey!

I will have a gigundo selection of cork necklaces and rings, locket necklaces, bracelets and rings and some amazing recycled wine cork awesomeness!

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

no fishies were harmed in the making of this post

Hubs and I are needing a little break and going away for a couple days - we'll be back at the end of the week.

For those who have been following our saga with David - we are pretty much back to square one or square minus 276 depending on which one of us you are talking to and whether or not there is any chocolate in the house.

(now I know that we are never really back to square one with any situation because although the situation looks familiar as in "how the hell did we get here again?" we have changed - this isn't a linear journey after all but more of a spiral and I know we have all spiraled to a higher place)

We just need a little space to reflect on what we must let go of here - asking for the strength to let go of what is not retrievable and the ability to see what remains that we can work with.

I know we always have the power to change - we just have to remember how to do that ... xo all - have a wonderful week everyone!
