Friday Finds Feb 13

Last weekend I not only hit an estate sale and came home with some goodies, but on one of our trips to 'the folks' my MIL and I checked out an antique store. I feel like I paid a premium for the egg beaters but it was worth it for the turquoise color on the handles. Found some old records, a small crock and a fabulous old spoon that made me swoon.

We are going back tomorrow and we will go hit another one. If my MIL would just let me in her cabinets or garage we wouldn't have to go shopping. LOL

I've found a new sympathy for people with eczema. At 59 and half (for the first time ever in my life) I had a horrible outbreak behind my ear and down my neck. If I had known what it was I wouldn't have scratched it so much at first. It's about been the end of me. I've had to wear my hair in a ponytail for the past three days. Not my best hairdo. But last night I finally got some relief and this morning it looks much better.

I found some free time to shoot Wednesday morning (as that seems to be my only free time lately). Let's see if I'll find some time to process next Wednesday.

I'm still finding that 'simple' has been my thing lately in the still life department. The fewer the objects the better.

I found a sweet girl with play dough from her valentines box. We made hearts.

Can you tell she loves hearts? 

I found a sweet baby sleeping on Wednesday night. He's already gained 4 lbs and he's 2 months old.

Have a blessed weekend everyone!
It's Friday Finds at Kim's, so go check out what everyone has discovered this week.

Choose with No Regret

I've wanted to do the PhotoHeart Connection for awhile and seem to always miss it.

This past month my heart has ached for Fall. Where I live it doesn't show up until November and this year we had an early snow and freezing temps to mess things up. A lot of my usual places didn't look good at all. That forced me to search out new territory. 

Somehow my expectations must have been set too high. Perhaps I should revisit last years photos. Maybe they're not as good as I remember. 

All this pining for Fall has affected my lack of moving into the Christmas decorating mode. 

But I've decided I'm just going to dwell where my heart is, and I'll get there (to Christmas) eventually. I found this photo I had posted on Instagram that voices it perfectly. 

With no regret.

Linking up with Kat for the Photo Heart Connection.

Hearts Hearts Everywhere

Hearts, Hearts, everywhere hearts.
As far as I'm concerned everyday is Valentine's Day.
I recall a few years back that I did not 'like' hearts. Not really sure why. Perhaps it was because mine was wounded. Or I just didn't like mushy stuff. But now, that's all changed and a heart does my heart good. And today I'm feeding my heart and my stomach.
Even Einstein's has heart shaped bagels today....

I made brownies for my sweetie and put chopped cherries in them. Soooo good. ( guess who had to eat the trimmings?

We had a salad too that called for radishes. How could I resist the temptation for a photo op.

And this is what I got my Sweetie. He loves glass. I found this at the Luma Gallery at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.

All photos processed with Snapseed on the iPad. (and taken with my iPhone)

Have a blessed Valentine's Day everyone!

Her Heart Says Art

My heart has been speaking loud and clear the past few days. It's demanding I pay her some attention.

Taken on the iPad, edited in Watercolor, taken into Photoshop, added my new tree brush (available soon), sketched the heart and added type.

This is actually an example of having a vision of what I wanted to do but not really knowing the final outcome. I can say it turned out much better than imagined.
