Hugs all around...

Hello lovely lovelies!  It's Ez... hurray!
This won't be a full-sized post, but I just wanted to pop on here to let you all know that I am feeling so much better now, and I know that this is in large part because of all the kind thoughts and dear well-wishes you've sent my way.  Thank you so very much!  You each mean so much to me!

I'll be resting some more over the weekend, and am looking forward to resuming regular posting starting next Monday!  Thank you all for your patience and understanding.  See you soon!

PS. A huge thank you to you Melissa for all of your help in my absence.  I don't know what I would have done without you.

Update and something we can do for Ez...

Hello lovely CC readers,
I am sorry to say it is still me here, Melissa! I wish it was Ez too, it is amazing how palpable her absence is, isn't it? She seems to be feeling a little bit better today and hopes to be back to her old self on Monday. I told her how many wonderful comments you all have left sending love and understanding her way.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a little something "sweet" waiting for her when she gets back? If you would like to particpate email me and I will let you know the details.
This is a great time to catch up on all the loveliness Ez has left for us in the past and also, to visit Muse if you haven't already.

Just to let you know:

Hi lovely CC readers,
I know you all noticed Ez's absence along with me this morning and afternoon. She has taken ill and spent last night in the ER so, she asked me to just drop you all a note to let you know where she is and what is going on. Always thinking of us, her readers, even when she is sick! What an absolute doll!
So, keep her in your thoughts and hopefully she will be back in no time. All the best!

Inspired Artist: Tony Bevilacqua

I stumbled across the work of Tony Bevilacqua on etsy the other day, and I am totally and completely head over heels in love!  There is something eerie and unsettling about his pieces but they are not gloomy or foreboding.  There seems a delicate balance between tension and irony... and I think it really works.  Very Michael Sawa, in my opinion.

What do you think?

...and Tony, if you read this... please, please consider making prints of your fabulous work for poor girls (and guys) like me.

1. Anhinga Necklace by Adam Smith
2. Pel Ring at Moss Mills
3. New Chrys Ring at Moss Mills
4. Love Letters, Gocco Printed Cards by Flower Press
5. Gold Apple Branch Breakfast Set at Glimpse Online
6. "Greet" Sandals by daniblack at Piperlime
7. G Lalo 22K Gold Engraved Scarab Card - Set of 5 at Greer
8. Black and Gold Beetle Necklace by Imogene and Annie

I Love You Mom!

This is a couple days early, but I thought I'd extend the humiliation (my hair really did look like that) to span the entirety of the weekend * wink *.

I love you Mom!  You are such an incredible woman and have brought so much love and joy to my life!  One of the many wonderful things about you is your infectious sense of fun and playfulness.  You're never one to just sit back and watch the rest of us make a fool of ourselves (hehe)... you always jump right in with us!   It's such a delight to have a mom who will do that!  So thank you for that, and all that you are Mom... I love you!

Happy Mother's Day!
