wish

"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic bean buyer.  If you are a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax golden tales to spin, Come in! Come in!"    ~Shel Silvertein

I am a hopeless dreamer, believer, wisher.  I believe in the magic of four leaf clovers, shooting stars and rainbows after a storm. Snapping wishbones, blowing stray eyelashes, and closing my eyes and wishing on birthday candles.  Right now the most perfect dandelions are round and full and ripe for the wishing all around our yard. My family has even given up calling them by their proper name and instead call them "wishers".  I become childlike in the simple joy of picking those fat wishers and blowing my wish to the wind.  What i love even more is passing all this magic onto my children and watching them believe in simple everyday wonder.  What everyday magic have you captured?  Please share it here with us today.  

 In the spirit of wishing, I am honored to present my Wish necklace for Bel Kai Designs :The Shutter Sisters Capture Collection, now available for purchase.  I am so proud of this collaboration.  I wanted something personal yet universal for my design and I am so pleased with the end result.  Now have a wish to wear around my neck every day.

Continuing the celebration of Giveaway May, Bel Kai and I will be giving away 1 wish necklace.  All you need to do is leave a comment here by 12 midnight PST to be entered in a random drawing for a wish necklace of your very own.  

***CONGRATULATIONS to Karen the winner of the necklace!   Happy wishing Karen.  xo, Kristin

Okay, this may seem silly but my garden is my wishful, magical place. Finding our first potato yesterday was a bit of a wish come true. My husband and I were likely giggly children as we photographed it!

I LOVE that photo. I just recently got a new camera and am trying to learn about what it can do. I'd love to know how you got that shot if you are able to pass on the info. Lens, speeds, etc. Thanks so much. Also, it helps that I have a secret obsession for dandelions. :) Love your beautiful necklace too!

[amy z]

Gorgeous necklace...please enter me!

(And thanks for the Shel Silverstein quote...it's one of my favorites!)

[ella de roeck]

I'm a big dreamer too and will always make wishes with dandelion puffs - it is something that I have never grown out of doing and that makes me so happy. This post has beautiful imagery and the necklace is just lovely :)

[Kacky]

I take photos so that someday I will be able to capture a moment like this. I WISH it would. Beautiful necklace also!

What a lovely necklace. I think we are all dreamers, it's a beautiful thing when we can open our dreams and inspire others with them.. here is to dreaming

[Alison Breeden]

What a beautiful image, necklace, and post. Just the other day my 4 year old and I were in a hurry walkking along, when she stopped suddenly and stooped down. I turned to see why she had come to a halt as we were in a hurry, and she stood up, gazing into a freshly plucked dandelion she had spotted as the world was being pulled past her by her hasty mom. It made me smile and caused me to take a moment to pause, bend down, and watch as she made a wish. It is the simple reminders that cause us to stop and take a breath...and make a wish.
