Hello California.....

Hello California...

I never thought I would live near the ocean but then then I never thought I would ever live in New Mexico either. After 6 years in the desert landscape of New Mexico we have packed up and moved to California.

It is sooo beautiful here. More my type of landscape with green stuff everywhere. The moss is my favorite. I feel like there are Fairies in every corner. We are up north just 20 miles from San Francisco and just a 10 minute drive to the beautiful Pacific Ocean. It is luring me to its shores every weekend where I am filled with inspiration. I am hoping to glimpse a Mermaid very soon.

Steampunk...

A little mini top hat steampunk style. The best part is the pinwheel works.

Purple

You can never make too many purple treasures.



















This is how it started out...

Visitor

Had this guy out front this morning.

We have lots of wild rabbits in our yard which means we also have lots of predators.
(remember the rattlesnake that bit me 2 yrs ago) I do ! Lol

We have coyotes,snakes,bobcats etc... I swear I even saw a chupacabra ( mythical ? dog like vampire) out my door one night.

This visitor got himself a bunny for breakfast. I have never heard anything like it. Primal and wild. Kind of scary.

Life in the desert is brutal but beautiful.

Green

Green is good !

I met a talented artist on Etsy who creates these incredibly intricate birdhouses. He wanted to do a fairy home at the base of a birdhouse and used my feather fairy portal as the entrance.

What a fun collaboration and I think it turned out beautifully. Vernon is as nice as he is talented so if you want to see more of his wonderful creations here is a link to his Etsy shop.

I can just imagine the birds and the fairies have a great time in this one of a kind house.
