.. Kwanzan Flowering Cherry ..

cotton candy pink balls on a sky of blue

friendship is a sheltering tree

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

listen to the trees talking in their sleep,

she whispered, as he lifted her to the ground

what nice dreams they must have

LM Montgomery .. Anne of Green Gables

** these photos have not been doctored in any way

straight from the camera lens to you

can you believe it???

they are so amazingly gorgeous

you should stand under the tree!!

we had a most marvelous day

.. blue sky & sunshine ..

let me say however

for some reason ..

as beautiful as these trees are in the sunshine

they are twice as splendid on gray overcast days

the pink intensifies

they are our happy flowers

Fabulous pink floral vintage needle point found while treasure seeking in Wenatchee, WA.
I've been holding on to it until I had just the right materials to go with.
Delicious spicy nutmeg suede leather from a outdated 80s jacket .. perfect match.
A wonderful worn tapestry in wine & mauves .. lovely.
A bit of stripe velvet upholstery from the 60s .. ahhh so nice!
add a wee bit of lace & fun trim
... Oooo la la!!!

Siren's Storm Shoulder Bag

...to slip beneath the surface and soar along the silent bottom of the sea

agile and shining in water honeycombed with light.

carnations & daffodils

A white sports coat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance
A white sports coat and a pink carnation
I'm all alone in romance

a host of golden daffodils

beside the lake
beneath the trees
fluttering and dancing in the breeze

New in the little ZiBagz Shop

Wandering Ridge Shoulder Bag

To behold the wandering moon
Riding near her highest noon
Like one that had been led astray
Through the heav'n's wide pathless way
And oft, as if her head she bowed
Stooping through a fleecy cloud.

Western Skies CrossOver Bag

if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin'
watched those cotton candy clouds roll by
they'd know why I live beneath these Western Skies

Hope you have a Most Glorious

and Sunny

Weekend!

inspired delights .. ♦

Canyon Rose Hobo Bag

Inspired by a vintage strip of needle point found at a thrift shop in Anchorage, Alaska. I've been holding on to it for quite awhile ..

not know quite what to do with it.

It came wrapped neatly in a bag with a few more odds and ends

obviously from the same person. Included was a receipt for the burgundy wool yarn dated 1956 .. well AK wasn't even a state until 1959! Pretty cool, eh?

Groove on the Move Messenger Bag

The moment I saw this fabulous piece of art I knew I needed to preserve all the wonderful work that went into it ... as it was sitting on the shelf at the Senior Center Thrift Shop in Wenatchee Washington framed in a seriously too yellow frame.

I bought this lovely, took it home, dismantlement it and carefully cleaned this glorious piece of nostalgic needlework.

What came out...

a messenger bag that will be sure to delight!
