You know those “wordless” blog posts that are all pictures and no words? I took so many pictures this weekend that if I post them here, there just won’t be any room left for words. I had a great time with my Dad and the kids! Today I’m joining the “wordless” bloggers. I do have 4 words to share first though: HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

Today my son found his very first 4 leaf clover. We were outside again playing in the kiddie pool, and I noticed there were patches of clovers all around us. I said, “Want to try looking for a four leaf clover?” I love these little symbols of good luck and was really hoping to find one after a rough couple of days. Immediately he found one (then went on to say finding them was so easy….of course that’s the only one we found today). When we went inside, he said, “I’m going to keep the good luck from my clover in my sock.” What better place to store it?? We left the clover outside all day and it became quite crinkly, but it is now safely stored between the pages of my Dad’s family bible.
I drove to the beach with the kids…what a long four hours. I’ll be here until…when, I’m not sure. If you don’t hear from me here, you’ll know it’s because I’m simply enjoying getting away from home and my routine. Oh, and don’t forget to say “Jack Rabbit!”…for good luck on the 1st of the month (especially if your sock looks empty)! Just something fun my brother and I have been saying since our high school days in Germany…not sure where it originated . 😉

Hi all –
Yesterday when I went to the post office to send my “Coastal Cottage” necklace off to it’s new home (thank you Ann-Margaret!), I asked for a book of stamps. I immediately chose these when I saw them. Gulf Coast Lighthouses…they’re 5th in a series. Have you seen the others? They’re really beautiful stamps! Great for summer correspondence. At least my bills will look attractive.
I received a custom order on Etsy recently for a bracelet I no longer had available. When I went about making a new wirework bracelet, I went to town and made a few more. You know how you may have a classic (or favorite) design style and you don’t mind remaking it? I don’ t think we have to reinvent the wheel each and every time we make a piece of jewelry. I had a discussion about this with a fellow jewelry-designing friend just last week. There’s that pressure to come up with the next new thing…which is fun challenge. But sometimes it’s nice to just enjoy the beauty in a piece when you love the overall design and construction.
