Artist's Date: Winter Farmer's Market : )
Today was a wonderful day for a ride down RT 20 to Russell's Garden Center and their Farmer's Market.
I forgot how large Russell's is and how many wonderful gift ideas they offer in addition to the wonderful Farmer's Market!
I was very excited to see on the sign as I drove in that there was a baby sheep.
These 2 were quite the hit! : )
A great way to warm things up with an outdoor pizza oven!
It was such a great atmosphere for the market. It was nice and warm inside with so many beautiful plants to look at in between booths!
Winterberry Farm is located in Leverett MA.
I found out today that there are many towns in Massachusetts that I have never heard of!
I absolutely loved the colors of all the yarn at Winterberry Farms booth...(I love that name too!)
It looks like a crayon box : )

She had adorable angora bunnies whose fur she used for spinning as well.
Moonshine design has the most beautiful colors as well.
They are from Colrain MA
another town I have never heard of!
There were baskets of beautiful mohair socks!
Another great booth was
Good Karma Farm
They sell wonderful felt covered soaps that you can find here:
This is what I purchase from the booth of E and T Farms.
The man who sold this to me explained how it is processed to make it creamed (like peanut butter) but I could not repeat the process to you if my life depended on it.
I love honey, so I thought this might be
a fun way to eat it! : )
This is a great way to spend a Saturday during the winter months...

Happy Weekend!
Happy Valentine's Day
Along my travels, I bought a little collection of old Valentines.
Printed ever so small on the back of this one....where I needed my glasses and magnifying glass to see it, are the printed words: Whitney Made Worcester Mass. Made in USA
I googled it and found this:
I love this illustration with the cozy hats, mittens, scarfs, and the smoke coming out of the chimney in the background.
I can just imagine them going home for hot chocolate after a day of skating! : )
I hope you too,
are having a cozy
Valentine's Day
too! : )
Excavation of Self : )

So far, 2013 has been an inspired year of exploration.
A type of archeological dig of my brain, heart and spirit of sorts.
Inspiration has serendipitously brought about resources to put in my tool bag as I dig.
The process of digging brings about so many emotions...
joy, enlightenment, discovery, creativity,
but also discomfort
as I recognize things about myself
that are hard to look at,
joy, enlightenment, discovery, creativity,
but also discomfort
as I recognize things about myself
that are hard to look at,
but must be looked at, sifted, brushed off
and
brought into the light.
For the most part, I feel joy for what I am finding along the way...
what interests me, what am I good at, what motivates me
what interests me, what am I good at, what motivates me
But with all of this information the
one question that has risen to the surface over and over is,
"How can I be of service?"
A wonderful website that has crossed my path is:
and here you can find places to volunteer even if you only have a few hours.
Also, there is a link to 52 ways to make 2013 a year to volunteer.

In the times that I have felt the most unmotivated during this life transition, I have found that volunteering has given me such a good feeling.
A feeling of purpose.
I highly recommend it.
