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

I wish today is the day that I catch up with all my work. I wish that summer comes to California. I wish to see smiles on my children's faces as they come home from school. I wish my husband does some good in the Gulf Coast and that he comes home safely to us. I wish......

I spotted this everyday magic in my friend's kitchen yesterday:

It evoked such quiet presence and spark, what it is to cook meal after meal, to nourish yourself and the ones you love.
