Wild Wood Gatherer Shop

Idea for an new shop was on my mind for a long time and I was working on this shop for a quite a while. Felt that I should try something else than Etsy. Also I am working on a completely new blog, where I will be writing about deeper thoughts about nature and the woods, which inspires me the most.

P.S. It would be lovely to hear from you, who have followed this blog a long time!

magic birds

my heart is aching to go in to a winter woodland, but i had to first list few of my new brooch necklaces.

i found these beautiful stoneware bird button from Dorothy Domingo's Etsy shop and made first brooches from them. but then noticed that attaching a ribbon they would be a wonderful necklaces also. i do love the color combinations, especially the green, brown and turquoise. you can find the brooches from here.

but now i need to hurry, since the day is turning in to a twilight...

changes

i have been writing many posts lately, all of them i have deleted or saved as a drafts. i know where this hesitation comes from, it comes from the feel of change. i want to change layout of this blog, i want to change what i want to share in it. so there will come changes slowly... i have been shy blogger lately, not confident enough publishing my writings. few days ago i posted that i will have a little winter silence until i will found out what i want to express in this blog, that post was deleted also. but on that same day i knew what i wanted...

what i want this blog to be is all about nature, how my life entwines with the woodlands. i do not want to put the contents of my blog in to a specific box, decide that this is all i want to write about, but i want that the main focus will be on nature. i wish that someday i could keep this blog as a travel journal, where i would write about the woodlands around the world where i have visited, but until that this will be my nature journal from the woods nearest my heart; my home woods.

on 1st of February i will begin a one month nature journal, which i will keep in this blog. write everyday what i have seen in that particular day. and i would be glad to see that some of you would begin this adventure with me and begin a nature journal of your own for a month on your blog. or just writing about your nature journal in a paper and share it with me. i have learned from nature, that the more you truly notice the nature, more you will see.

Hello winter...

finally the winter is here. we had a taste of it in Christmas eve morning, when i peeked from the window and magically the snow has landed upon the ground. but now it feels even more different, a real winter. i do not trust this winter though, it can be vanished in a moment. but still it has been here now for days. before the snow covered the moss i noticed snowdrop leaves under the goat willow tree... it would have been three months early for them to bloom.

i quickly took these photos by the windows.

i had to take another photo from the "twilight winter deer" necklace.

i love this painting by Margaret W. Tarrant. it is one of the most dearest picture that i have.

forest elf, who gives shelter from the snow to the other woodland creatures.

this year

a collection of photographs from this year....

sending jewelries away in to new homes

working and living a month in a woodland arboretum.

one of the most dearest places to me and i truly felt that

i belonged to be there.

gardening from the morning to the dusk. having ability to make my parents garden look how ever i wanted to. 6000 square feet of yard to fill with trees and flowers. this year was just a beginning, next year new garden plans. the more i work in the garden more i learn, i am much more wiser now than when i begun to create this cutting garden in the back in this photo.
