FIRSTLY:
As it is Memorial Day here in the USA I want to offer my thanks to all the men and women who served in and alongside the many branches of the American armed forces and fought and kept peace alongside my Canadian forces over the past couple of centuries. Thank you for your sacrifice and service. Thank you for your sense of duty. Thank you for doing something that I’m not strong enough to do, perhaps even too cowardly to do. Thank you. I remember you today and I won’t ever forget you.
Next:
Sometimes wonderful folks stop by for some jelly and to jam on my front porch as evidenced in the photo below:
My snarky neighbor to the North did plenty of glaring as a guitar, bass and girl did some singing but for the first time in days, I wasn’t phased at all by her grumpiness!
What a miracle!
Of course, Allison loved and adored Mister Pinkerton, as was to be expected, but Penelope and Farley received their share of loving as well. So did I.
The visit with this girl was too short, too happy and too gorgeous in every way. I’ve got the shakes and the sads from withdrawal. But the music was beautiful and it will carry me through. If you live in an area where Matt, Phil and Allison are playing you should really attempt to make it out to their show. Not only will you hear Allison and her songs but you’ll get to hear the fantastically talented Matt and Phil sing their songs as well which is more treat-a-licious than freshly baked chocolate-chip-cranberry-oatmeal-cookies and milk.
I successfully took an entire weekend off
but spent today in the studio smithing just for you.
The night thickens and I’ve got a date with RW to watch Hidalgo so
I’m going to list it all lickity split!
Gentled But Not Broken Ring [kingman az turquoise & sterling silver]
Selah Ring [carnelian & sterling silver]
“Wisdom Is… Necklace” From The Word Definition Series by The Noisy Plume
Soul Garden Necklace [laguna agate & sterling silver]
Sooper Dooper Fantastic Circus Earrings
[sterling silver, coral & agate]
There are actually three other rings I plan on listing this evening as well. If I don’t get to it all you can look for it tomorrow!
I hope your weekends were relaxing.
SMOOCH,
PLUME
