A fond THANK YOU to Jane from thedoghouse

Squirrel Patrol Men's T-shirt
by thedoghouse

"This brown 100% certified organic cotton men's T-shirt features a hand printed monochrome image in yellow of a squirrel. I screen printed the image onto the shirt by hand using non-toxic fabric ink. The ink has been fixed using heat, making it resistant to machine washing at 40°C, dry cleaning & ironing on a cotton setting.

The image is derived from a photograph of a squirrel in my Mum-in-law's garden in Lancashire, England. (We don't get to see many squirrels in our own garden on account of our 2 greyhounds who are on constant patrol for any small furry critters!)

The T-shirt has been ethically made using a climate neutral process & carries the EarthPositive® label."

I highly recommend you

There are some truly yummy celestial items here. One of my favorites is by Elis Cooke, a Canadian artist working in mixed media to create abstract art collages. Well worth clicking on this Collection to gaze at these 12 items.

The curator included one of Brizel Supplies' Czech art glass buttons...

Lunar Celestial Beauty
Czech glass button @ Brizel Supplies

"A divine Czech glass sewing button with such celestial beauty... a crescent moon waxing to a full moon. I love this Czech designer button... i have it in different finishes and sizes... this particular rendition is so delicate in its palette- a periwinkle viola blue with an ab finish. All those faceted gems reflect out- its really quite exquisite. It measures a little over 7/8" (22mm)"

Calico Rare is "a jewelry designer living in sunny Southern California. I've always been fascinated with the meanings behind gemstones and with the Southwest. With copper being a popular metal in Southwestern designs I combined my two interests to make my signature Gemstone and Copper Bead Stretch Bracelets. I like to wear certain gemstones based on their meaning when I feel that I need a boost that day."

Blue Moon Adventurine Stretch Bracelet
by CalicoRare

"This lovely stretch bracelet is made with 8mm Blue Aventurine beads and a silver plated moon charm. Perfect to wear alone or stack with other Calico Rare bracelets! Blue Aventurine allows the wearer to shed old ways and become open to mental and spiritual growth. It also gives the wearer vitality, self-confidence, and enhances leadership abilities."

Road Trip...

June is and has flown by... oh my goodness- its summertime, which means we are riding temps close to 100F... I will have to get used to another 20 degrees by the time August comes.

My parents came to visit last week and I also had me a road trip down to Oakland to visit my older brother...

... and overnighted in Berkeley to catch up with my good friend Julia. We took her canine charge, Fantasia, for a walk the next morning !
