Crafty Folks: Rochelle Ford

During my recent trip to California I walked by a house 

I strolled by my whole childhood.

It is the inspirational home of Metal Artist, Rochelle Ford.

Her work is bold, colorful, and vivacious,

as is her home and yard.

In my youth we would detour a few blocks out of the way

just to gander at the grandeur of her artistic home.

And I would dream that someday I would be an artist too.

Better Homes and Gardens did a nice article about her,

find it here.  They took this great areal shot.

I hope everyone has someone to be inspired by,

and someone to inspire.

Tea Party.

 

It's spring!

Which means time for a little tea party.

My friend Rachel came over today with her adorable daughter Addie.

We had a little tea party,

which is an outstanding adventure to take with a preschooler.

We decided next time we will wear fancy gloves.

Except apparently one of Addie's has gone missing.

I also promised to have some fine china cups.

And we are all going to practice raising our 

pinkie fingers as we sip our tea.

Happy cheery cherry blossom spring to you!

Collecting.

I've been known to collect a thing or two.

Teapots, Rocks, Bowls, Jars.

Things always look lovely

when standing next to a friend.

These coffee pots are no exception.

Find them and more inspiration at:

Needle Felted Owls.

These cozy fellows are so fuzz wonderful and wooly.

Love 'em.
