Oh September, the Romance begins

Every September the romance begins. . .
It's when my heart starts to sing in it's orchestrated fashion as the nights become cool and leaves begin to turn color. Here in the Midwest it is a welcome change from the heat of summer. It's when the Renaissance faire has ended and that in itself is a sweet sorrow. The parting of old friends as they travel to other places or back home for the winter months. The farms around me are getting ready for the harvest and as the fall equinox comes around it starts the festivities of our farming community.
Oh to dwell in such a wonderful place, I am filled with gratitude everyday for the wonder of this life and all the beauty around me.
This is also when I am working hardest at creating my primitive art for the fall and All Hallows Eve celebrations. I love Halloween Art. It makes me so happy to contribute to the vast supply of  pumpkin keep sakes and dolls as collectible treasure's for years to come.
I added a Paypal, Buy it Now button to my blog today and posted pictures of my two newest creations.

This is Valerina, she is 13" tall and her walking stick is 16", she sits on a rusty bed spring. She is quite the little Harvest Thyme princess
Priscilla is 18" tall to the tip of her witch hat and stands on an old vintage bee hive bobbin, a little Steam Punkish of sorts in her grungy overcoat and a key lapel pin, they sell for $33.99 and can be purchased right here from my blog. The drop down list allows you to pick either Primitive Halloween doll.

And talk about abundance,
I own such a huge collection of Halloween Deco that I am setting my living room up as a retail store and will host a Halloween Estate Sale this year in an attempt to lessen the load that I carry and store year after year. This is a time of clearing for me. To be able to move forward with less to move around and fill the garage with totes. I was truly amazed at the fact that none of the 26 totes that are filled with Halloween stuff where desecrated by mice or spiders. Talk about being blessed and watched over. Since I dwell in the woods at the tip of a farmers field. As I was sitting in my craft room, sewing tiny mice for the witch shoes last night, I could hear the little buggers running and playing in the ceiling above me as the farmers just cleared the last of the wheat from the fields this last week. Which creates yet another task, set before me for the season.

All in all it's a wonderful time of year and one that fills me with peace and contentment as I work and craft the hours away. . .
Enjoy the season  to it's fullest and take the time to enjoy your life. . .
 

November Energies and Changes

WOW!  As the winds of change blow I get this eerie feeling that some of the changes that are on the horizon are destructive and unruly. Well of course that could be that the wind is blowing at about 65mph and the barn is now a third gone, inside the foundation. But I can't help but feel the tremble in my own foundation today. I'm not a person who is afraid of change but we all become so comfortable where we are in our lives that sometimes when changes do start to occur, we feel it deep down inside of us. At a soul level. . .so  if you feeling the same as I do, coming into this solstice, let's meditate to ground and clear ourselves. . .

Sit in a comfortable chair with your feet flat on the floor, place your hands on your lap, palms up and relax...take in a deep breath pulling the energy from the floor, up through your feet, calve, knees, thighs, up into your trunk, pulling it all the way up to your heart chakra. On the exhale, send the breath out, forming a circle of light around you about as far as arms reach. Now with the next breath, pull the light from the crystalline matrix above your head, into your self and bring it down to your heart chakra, see it filling your lungs, belly and swirling around inside working it's magic as it clears and heals you. On the exhale allow the light to add to your circle making it stronger and enhancing and strengthening your aura. Now with the next breath, we will pull the light from both directions until it meets at the heart chakra, clearing and cleansing all the way. Swirling and healing our very being. Now exhale again allowing the light around you to become even stronger.
As you sit in relaxation and totally grounded now, commune with spirit, asking for help and clarity in anything you feel uncertain of. Even though you may not receive the answer to your question right now, remember it will come, so just invision yourself  in the outcome  you would wish for.
As I sit back and admire some of the treasures I have gathered this year, reminding me that life is abundant and that I am a being of light having and enjoying this experience of life in the third dimension, indulging in a human experience.  I
think good thoughts as November, being the 11th month, is a doorway to our tomorrows.
I hope this grounding helps you as much as it does me. Thank you for joining me today and have a most wonderful day. . .

Oak Ridge Primitives

So after much consideration, Vicki (of Springbrook Soap Co.) and I have joined forces and gone back to the e-giant to market our wares. No looking back, we are moving forward and hope to soon upgrade our auctions to an ebay store front in the near future. This new store will not only handle our primitive artwork but also antiques and a few other categories. We look forward to our success and to fulfill our dreams to open a store in the real world as well. Take a look at our auctions thus far. Your input is greatly appreciated. As always, Thanks so much for visiting my blog and my world. . .
with love and light. . .
till next time
