Happy Friday friends! The weekend is so close I can almost taste it and am longing for the time to process and get caught up on reading blogs + your comments and taking time for goal setting, soul tending and art making. You see, its been a long work week (after having some time last week to just pursue Gathering Spriggs) and I've felt the friction between laboring for extra income vs. maintaining a creative life. About mid-week I ran out of steam, felt my creative energy evaporate, and as they dissipated I am left lacking with not much to offer (you). Thank you for your patience and for returning day after day as faithful readers. Your presence offers the hope I need to believe in the future, to hold onto my dreams of nurturing Gathering Spriggs full time.
So I leave you with a beautiful and relatively new blog from artist/designer, Bianca Snow. Bianca left a lovely comment for me here this week and as I clicked on the link to her site I felt a kindred connection. Plus she pursued one of my dream jobs (one I used to dream about in high school). She studied Millinery in London for five years after leaving her native Australia. Now she is back home crafting a dream, and creating beauty on her blog and in her heavenly etsy shop. So, thank you Bianca. You lifted my spirit today, offered my heart beauty and inspired new dreams.
++ Also, if you are looking for a fool proof way to help make your dreams a reality and let your finances help you instead of hinder you then stop by Brigitte's blog series called: "Warm Soft Money"
Happy Weekend!! Let me know how it goes and I will see you back here next week!

I just popped by Bianca's blog -- love it! I can see why you're so taken by her.
And -- thank you so much for highlighting my series! I am so heartened by the response it's getting.
