My mom's stained glass

Just had to do a little bragging today - below is a picture of a stained glass panel my mom made for a customer.  It's going to be installed in their kitchen.  I just love it, and my talented mom!  If you'd like to see more of her work, you can visit her website:  Sally's Stained Glass.  She can do everything from nightlights to suncatchers to kitchen cabinets, and she loves custom orders.  She even has a small claim to "fame" - Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills & Nash commissioned her to do a panel for his home in California.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  xx

I chose three settings I loved, and they each have distinct feeling about them.  Which is your favorite?

I love this purple...

Love the pops of red and mismatched chairs...
Serene and natural...


This says it all...

Hi everyone ~ I've started a new blog (When the Moon Rises), and below is a link to my first post in which I talk about my animal totem guide, the black panther. In this blog I'll explore topics such as astrology, dream interpretation, spiritual practices, etc...it will be more contemplative in nature. I'd love to know what you think.

When the Moon Rises: Totem Guides ~ Black Panther: A few years ago, I had a series of vivid dreams. Each of them had one thing in common: a black panther... The first dream began while I ...
