art and beauty...

** a big thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful birthday wishes you sent me on friday. i had a truly magical and very special birthday - one that i will always remember. thank you again! **

this weekend, i found myself observing beauty in some of the handmade art that adorns our home...

:: a watercolor heart made by maya, for valentine's day

:: a custom made tapestry by crazy momma productions

:: a wool roving fairy mobile

:: a ceramic angel made by a waldorf student

:: a forest girl tapestry, made by orit dotan

each piece, special in it's own way. each imbued with the spirit and skill of the maker. each celebrating the beauty of handmade.

what beauty are you seeing in your home?
