Altered Book Pages And A Surprise In The Mail

 I took some time to work in my altered quote book - my relaxation, you know.  Thank you to Z at Old Grey Mare for the quote on the right. I love those words and they are appropriate in the literal sense as I'm working on the garden remodel, as well.
The page on the left was a bit of a struggle but play is what my book is all about.  I tried to write on top of a pretty piece of very vintage wallpaper and the pen dug in and ate whatever finish they used to make it washable back in the day.  Note to self, seal it with some matte medium next time!
 I received the most precious gift in the mail last week.  I met Rachel Stewart during the Grow Your Blog Party back in January.  She gifted me with the beautiful pair of earrings. Naturally, I adore the bird theme!
The blue earrings are perfect for me.  Rachel is a Tennessee based jewelry designer and she does excellent work.  You can see more of her designs on her website.  Thank you Rachel!
A special note for Linda....   I could not find any contact information to respond directly to your comment on my recent post.  The Volunteers Of America retail store is called Thrift It and it is located at 2330 SE 182nd Avenue.  Have fun shopping!
