The early worm…. gets eaten!

Friday, August 28th, 2009

I am NOT a morning person.  My husband always jokes that his morning cheerfulness is rubbing off on me after 7 years of marriage, but deep down I’m still grumpy in the mornings.

This is a t-shirt for all you NON-morning people like me!  No longer do we have to hear ‘the early bird catches the worm’ in disaproving tones at our dislike of the early hours.  And anyway, who ever wanted to catch a worm?

If you really love your morning sleep, you’ll enjoy wearing this ‘early bird gets EATEN’ t-shirt from Ha Ha Shirt shop.

Enjoy! 

Stone Art

Friday, August 28th, 2009

No, I don’t mean ‘Stone Age’ art.  Rather, I mean art created with stones.

Having always had an attraction to stones, this little button caught my eye immediately.  There is something beautiful about the way a picture is created from these simple bluish-grey elements.  And almost like one of those 3D pictures, the longer you look at it, the more you see.

Intricate, yet simple.  Colourless, yet bright.

Organic Christian

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

When I think of nature and reverence for the natural world, I usually think of Wicca, or perhaps the druids.  Some scholars even trace back the word “pagan” to mean rustic, or a country bumpkin, as opposed to the more urban Christians.  The overwhelming awareness of the annual cycle of life, death and rebirth was a country thing.  Cities were built in enduring, unchanging stone and fostered thoughts of eternity.  Country folk sacrificed their kings - city folk carved marble statues of them.

But, that was long ago.  We still have our rural mystics in the hippies and the alternate religions, but they are no longer the conservative ones.  Christians have moved from the far, far fringe to the center of things, some even to the Ultra Conservative Christian Right. 

Now, I subscribe to a community supported agriculture group which promotes organic, sustainable agriculture, and their logo is a picture of an angel plowing the fields to help out a hardworking farmer.  It’s a different world from the country pagans and city Christians.  A http://www.cafepress.com/UpstreamDesigns.373216725″>hat like this from Upstream Christian Designs seems to fit right in.  Check out this and other items with the Organic Christian design at http://www.cafepress.com/UpstreamDesigns/6610663.

Sunflower Power

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

 

I love sunflowers.  They are big and bright and happy.  They almost seem to smile at passers-by, bringing the joy of sunshine sparkles into every person.

 

On another note, in today’s age of recycling, reusing and waste management Tote bags have become a necessity in most grocery stores (unless you want to pay for the boring on plastic bags… but who wants to do that…).

 

And so, if you are sunflower-loving, cloth-bag-using, earth friendly person, why not check out this great bag which combines the beauty of flowers with good ol’ green living: http://www.cafepress.com/labelstone.271788668

 

Have a sunshiny smiley day, and let’s save our earth together!

Spencer Photos offers amazing photography

Friday, June 19th, 2009

HydrangeaIf you want to see some fantastic amazing shots of wildlife, flowers, and other subjects, you should head on over to Spencer Photos CafePress shop.

Although it was hard to choose from their vast selection of great photography stills, I choose to review a shot of a Blue Hydrangea flower.  We have planted a couple of hydrangeas over the years, and unfortunately the one that did the best and grew into a great bush was the one we planted at our old house, which means we can’t really enjoy it any more.  The photo’s of the hydrangea that Spencer Photos has available on their CafePress shop are simply perfect.  They have successfully captured the hues of blue and purple.

Check out their shop, as they have photos of wildlife, scenery, various flowers, and even a spot to contact them for custom shots.

Rainy Day Tote Bag at Go Camel Art and Photograpy

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Wouldn’t this bird have looked great on Captain Jack Sparrow’s shoulder?  I’ve always been amazed at the bright colors of parrots.  They look like they’ve been painted by a child with a yen for primary colors.  With all the different varieties and color patterns, though, they are one of the most recognizable types of birds.  You may not know what type it is, but you always know it’s a parrot.

Parrots are also well known for their intelligence and skill at mimicry.  When you “parrot” what someone says, you repeat it, over and over.  You’ve probably seen some incredible clip on an animal planet show or on youtube of a parrot making fart noises or playing “dead bird.”  They seem to be natural performers often dancing or performing other tricks.

As amazing and fun as they can be, if you decide to find a parrot for yourself, pay careful attention to where it came from as many endangered wild species are being captured and smuggled into the country for the pet industry, and often the birds don’t survive.
