Back to Finchley

After having experienced the 

delights

via

and lights

via

of enchanting possibilities

in

Narnia

via

via

how on earth 

could Susan 

Peter 

Edmund 

and Lucy go  

Back to FiNChLey?

via

Those of us who also

have traveled 

through the wardrobe 

and back

via

 

to embrace

holiday bliss

via

sweet repose

unknown source

and flirt with personal goals

via

must COME BACK

to face our own

realities of


work

stress

challenges 

and even


disappointments.


How will I live in my own


Finchley?

and I will dream while I am 

AWAKE

Falling Up

Crazy, isn't it

this little thing called

LOVE?

It makes promises

keeps us warm and fuzzy

makes us ponder

playful

and is often times 

painful.

But in all your seasons of 

experience

via

FALL UPWARDS and

GROW to new heights in love

in life's garden

via

and 

stand out among the rest.

Please visit my Etsy shop

The phrase to "Grow in Love by Rabbi David Aaron

It's True

It's really true. 

But it only took a bittersweet

"Life Celebration" 

on Saturday January 7th 2012

and a return home

pinterest

to find out that

there ARE such things as 

fairy dust

and angels' wings.

But what is more stunning

is to learn that the particles

that sluff off 

a beating heart

forgotten source

really exist in our physical 

world

and reach to distances

unimaginable

and that

I'm linking this post to my

my husband's blog

here

so you can see

 

the rest of the story

and to remember that

rather than waiting 

until the

cusp of your twilight

pinterest

to say and do 

while you live:

"Thank you."

"Will you forgive me?"

"I forgive you."

"I LOVE YOU."

A New Year Is About To Hatch

and I've been doing a lot 

of thinking in 

2011

 and I still believe that 

BLUE

is the colour of my dreams

for 2012

So I'm 

going out on a limb 

this year

and I'm

adding new handmade

items to my 

Etsy shop

such as a paper mâché

bluebird wand

and a Cinderella theatre


that depicts that infamous 

moment

11:59 castles crowns and cottages ©

as well as the midnight hour

when she loses her little 

slipper

and disappears into the pages 

of her past.

In my shop you will also find 

some cards for 

Valentine's Day

or for 

aNy dAy 

you just want 


to tell some one



I LIKE YOU.

My newest thrill is fashioning

aqua velvet 

fairy slippers

that would be perfect for the

grown up

or child-like fairy 

in you.

So make the new year
