The Gratitude

 

Doesn’t that just about sum it all up…. be happy about where I am, what I have, who I love… and feel gratitude that life will be a continuing blessing.

So many of life’s disappointments and obstacles have forced me to journey further down this path. A life of ease would have never offered me the push, shove, jolt to grow this strong.

So today I feel gratitude that this path is mine… and I am thankful for the amazing journey!

The Trading

So today I took some of my jewelry to this wonderful shop and I am so honored to be included in the company of such talented local artist… love the Wolf Creek Trading Co.

Wolf Creek Trading Co started out as the creative vision of John Fitzgibbons to have a neat place to gather and share art, music and just cool stuff.   Now hard work, sweat, and I am sure a few tears has completed the conversion of the carriage house into The Wolf Creek Gallery.

Wolf Creek Trading Co is located at 2361 S. Cleve-Mass Road in Copley Ohio

 ... less then 5 minutes from The Winery at Wolf Creek ...  wine and art in one trip!

Visit and see the amazing artists that we have in the area…and leave with a necklace or two… he he he!

The Hazel Tree

Did you ever walk into a shop and just feel like you came to a friend's home…the structure welcomes you, the owners greet and share stories with you, your eyes are full of excitement to look in the next corner … it’s a feeling and yes, we do shop with feeling.

Well I was just there! Hazel Tree in Akron!!

It was a wandering in from me not a purposed arrival...sometimes the best kind! It is this marvelous shop owed by Karen Starr and Jon Haidet …. talented, creative, married couple! The shop is this filled with treasures from local artists, craftspeople and dealers.  

Check out their site or make a purposed arrival!

The Break

So I should be working ... creating spreadsheets, reviewing data ... coming up with some brilliant conclusion on how to solve the corporate dilemmas… but instead my mind wanders.  Sitting in a three walled cube I begin to take a blog journey.  And what do I discover… that I am overwhelmed by the generosity of woman who blog and share!  I have been drenched for 15 minutes with the most beautiful talent and heart filling inspiration that I handle...in a beige cubed world. 
So take a blog journey break… some of what I found along the way!

The Ride

So when the road does not take you where you think you are suppose to go ... let go of the destination and enjoy the ride!  That is what we did and ended up at a GREAT auction in the woods.  The property was a home /antique store/ doll hospital.... what an interesting and truck bed filled day!
