Back in the Islands

Aloha to all my friends.
Unpacking so will be busy for a few days.
Meanwhile here are some images from one of the many shops in NZ that cater to French aficionados.
Love the wicker, sadly could not bring any home.

En route

Haere mai New Zealand.
I am en route and thinking of all of you in the USA.
I will pop in if I can. Meanwhile take care

shabby rose garland

About to leave but will pop in when possible.
Finished this soft apricot rose garland to drape across a picture frame, hang in a breezy window or cut it up and add to art pieces.
44" of hand sewn roses and textiles. Sequins and pearls.

First water lily

I made a fish pond in my garden and today have my first water lily in bloom.
I have tiny shrimp and guppies, and other small critters in the pond.
Picture taken in the rain.

I have the winner

Congratulations to Cindy Caraway.
I will mail as soon as I receive your address.
Hope you enjoy the prize, aloha.

Thanks to all who entered and check my shop when I return,
for more like this.
