Yes I do!
Every year when I host my Creativ-i-TEA
I take great pleasure in "creating" the favors.
I want something unusual,
something you can't walk into a store and purchase,
something that I hope will bring on a smile.
AND
it has to be something that I ENJOY making.
This year I made hanging air plants.
It combined nature and a little bit of bling.
I used 14 gauge aluminum wire,
beads and crystals.
The wire is very flexible and won't rust.
I ordered the air plants on etsy.com
and then I spent a couple of days,
twisting, threading and assembling.
I enjoyed these little sparklers hanging on the kellio,
for most of the summer
and then they went to their new homes
after the creativ-i-tea.
I am still healing and frustrated
that so many autumn photo opts are
getting away from me.
Although in the mean time I have been
reading more than I usually do.
I just finished:
a great read.
A true love story!
I definitely recommend it.
I hope you are enjoying the cooler
days and chilly sleeping weather.
I know I am.
Enjoy and Take Care!

P.S. For those of you who are not familiar with air plants,
here's the scoop: they don't require soil, you simply mist
them with water once or twice a week. They multiply a lot like
succulents and they have beautiful blooms. The next time I
have one that blooms I will share it with you.
I find all different ways to use these little guys!

Take care.. baby steps can seem like forever ..but it's still forward.
PS..can someone bring in some beautiful leaves for you..little pumpkins etc..You are a master at vignettes..you could do such great little photo shoots in your beautiful home..shooting is healing...in a certain way.
These are just wonderful! What a unique, thoughtful (and unforgettable) favor!! ♥ When my daughters and I were in Florida last year, these little fellows (the air plants) were all over the trees...so cool!
Hope you are feeling better, Dear! Cool sleeping weather is right...(yawn...:)
