Journey to the misty mountains


This past weekend I had the opportunity to paint and learn from the incredible Kelly Rae and finally got to meet another inspiration of mine......Mati Rose! They totally blew my socks off......


Not only was I inspired creatively, I met some friends I know I keep in touch with for a lifetime. You know those kind of friends......the ones that get how excited you are over little stacks of buttons, papers, and ribbons. and oh those buttery copic markers (amy!!!)


We stayed in the most surreal atmosphere......a little grouping of cottages nestled in the misty mountains of Los Gatos, CA. I never saw the deer but others mentioned that they were walking about closely and munching on the fresh clover covered in dew. Everything was green. it was lush and the flowers were blooming.


I will be back to tell you more about the lovely friendships I made. they deserve a post all their own.

  9. Mindy,
    i can not thank you enough for sharing your wonderful advice regarding how to start my etsy site though i feel i don't have much to sell...you are right - i can start small with what i DO have and continue to add every week or so until i have a well stocked shop =-)

    i'll look for your card to send you an e-mail soon - i'm still unpacking all my bits and bobs!! MY! but what an experience the retreat was =-)

    huggs!
    Monica
