your burning questions on caring for silver jewelry ( part 2)…..
Okay….here is a simple way to get rid of tarnish when you have a piece that doesn’t get much rotation, and unfortunately has turned a lovely shade of deep grey…you can do this with things you most likely have in your home at this very moment…as always, please exercise CARE and safety for yourself and [...]
a hug for an Umber Dove…
This is for a Kelly…who could use the Universe to hold her today… am continuing this little golden thread of love and light, begun by Allison ( and Janey) and Mrs.Little Jeans herself… a big hug from Mother Earth, courtesy of Vermont’s own Bread and Puppet Theater! ( I like to show them off because I [...]
your burning questions on caring for silver jewelry…..
It is getting near the latter part of the summer season ( depending on where you might be in the world) and our jewels might have taken a bit of a beating, from exposure to water, and sunscreens ( which I hope you are all using liberally!) and well, general sportiness!….I get asked all the [...]
my new fashion statement…….
I tell you, its the little things in life!….I have graduated to this LOVELY fashionista boot…can I have a yee -ha? I am still on sit-on-your -bum-with-your-foot-up detail ( and wont be able to drive for a looooong time, as its my left, and I am a lifelong diehard stick shift driver)….but….this thing has a [...]
a little hiatus…

I participated in the annual Umber Dove foodie swap….my trading partner being no less than Umber herself!…. ……..the card inside said “may the beauty of the day lift up your spirits”….signed in the lovely hand of one Kelly Clark, aka Umber Dove…“artist, seer, [...]
Nasturtium moonshine…..
It’s that time of summer, where if I am not careful, I can start to get a little depressed….the green of the trees an grasses have lost some of their I-just-burst-out-of-the-bud lusciousness, my poppies have finished doing their crazy dramatic thing, and there are no more juicy eggplants to pick (tho’ tomatoes….omigod!)…I just start to [...]
how to be alone…….
Traveling to NM alone, I looked forward to that time of being a.w.o.l… I love the idea of a chunk of time where no one knows where I am, or can get in touch ( sort of totally the opposite of today’s hyper-connected world!)….I think in another life I would have loved to be a [...]
home is where the heart is…
I belong to New Mexico in a way that escapes words….but I also would not throw Vermont out of bed for eating crackers! (such a funny old expression, non?) Vermont is sort of like a voluptuous sister! I feel so fortunate in my life that I have always lived (even in NYC) where there is [...]
