"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Share Your Joy!

The last time I was at Winslow farm I got talking with Sarah about my latest obsession with cyanotypes....and she was interested. Sarah and I have shared our love for flowers...hummingbirds...and shadows.

So when I stopped by today to pick up some veggies I took the pile of prints and cards I shared here on the blog a couple days ago. We had a wonderful conversation....and at one point her son and several of the employees got added to mix. 

I wished I had snapped a photo of the whole group....I was in heaven. Not just the farm girl in me being among all these amazing farmers...but also the crafter...who's starting to feel like artist.

Long story short....Sarah bought almost everything I had with me. I didn't even have my name on anything.  

So I headed home and made a quick little flyer to slip into the plastic sleeves....and when I went back there was already a little display on the counter. 
Pretty soon this counter will be covered in produce...but they have a spot for now...and Sarah said she'll find another spot when the time comes.  

Take the risk....share your joy....you just never know where it might lead.

    This is wonderful! So happy you are getting outside confirmation and proof that you ARE an artist. We so often sell ourselves short, even when our talents are obvious to others. Keep exploring and sharing- I love seeing your projects.

      Thank you for the wonderful note Kathy! I still struggle...but this felt validating. The best thing about getting those pieces out into the world is that it gives me permission to keep printing!
