The postman just came.......
I was delighted to receive a box from Julie!
In a brown parcel with lovely Victorian flower children stickers, I found some accordian folded "scrap" books, and more! I have scanned some of it here.
You can see a handmade necklace with a charm which is a robin's nest. The beads on the necklace are "robin" colors....red-breast red and robin's egg blue. The artist, included the legend of the robin with the lovely jewelry! [Contact Julie for info on her hometown artist, Lila(!), of Dog Day Designs in Bismarck, ND]
I'm off to have a great day wearing my treasure, with a robin to guide "new growth and new beginnings"!
(Later....well it is a "new beginning" of sorts....the foot doctor is having me stay off my inflammed -tedonitis, we think- foot for a few days...so I won't be going to "in" to work for a week or so....more time to play..."Oh no!"...I can get caught up on my "Finding Water" study! except no walks or Artist Dates on my feet!)

What fun things you got in the mail. I am loving that robin's nest necklace. I visited your new painting blog. It's so full of beautiful eye candy! Good luck with it!
THe necklace is delightful, and the legend of the robin (?), is something I hadn't heard of but it sounds intruiging.
I love the painting in the post below. Fabulous, the colour and subject matter are beautiful. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment..
