Like when I was walking in timber two days ago, early in the morning, when the blue light came streaming through the soft, drooping whiskers of the fir trees and the chickadees were teasing each other with their happy, clacking songs. I reached down and scooped up a handful of duff from the forest floor, lifted it to my nose, inhaled and caught the scent of the world turning, the mottled and scabbed scrub aspen spitting gold into the atmosphere, the cinnamon and sugar of the ponderosa pine needles, a thousand rose hips rising through the sky in the bellies of birds, a tiny trace of the curious cologne worn by the man in the moon, a cow moose and her calf striding through beaver ponds like their legs are late afternoon shadows, the twist of the sub-alpine fir in the fists of frost, one fat queen bee, sleepy seeds, chinooks streaming, a glorious rupture of spring creek and a colony of ants marching.
Oh, you are a glorious woman! These are incredible! I am in love…
Really really lovely Jillian! Bravo!
Hear, hear! I third that said above. Thank goodness for the whimsy of the nature of it all and thank goodness for you, mrs. Plume.
CRAZY.
love ’em all.
Inspired by nature, brought to life by your soul. Beautiful.
Have I ever seen ear rings more beautiful and eclectic? No. These are amazing. Less is not more, more is more! 🙂
Love the richness of shapes and materials, so fun!
The earrings are magical, beautiful, and totally drew me in…but your words finished me off, as always. You speak my mind ~
You wild and beautiful thing.
Love you.
an entire cabinet of curiosities for each earlobe– ingenious!!
for the woman who likes to wear her collections.
i love these madly– beautifully done!

I adore these creations and their natural beautiful symetrical randomness.
The scent of the forest – yes.
Thank you all for these kind comments
and for being here.
I cherish your presence.

I want them all, amazing. Your words or salve and balm for tattered edges, Thank you.
You’re a doll.
Thank you.
Lovely, the earrings and the words. Is this an excerpt from your essays? Ps. Will you be doing a christmas tree photo contest this year? I’m hunting for one today..;)
It may very well be part of an essay at some point. A lot of my jottings become parts of larger pieces of writing eventually.
Christmas Tree Contest! Good question! We are trying to decide that very thing here lately. We took a break from it last year. Rob usually does all the work on that contest…we’ll let you know as soon as we make our decision.
Good luck on the hunt!
I really love your pants! Your whole outfit really and your style in general. Do you mind sharing what brand the pant and sweater are? 🙂
