Chronicle of the joys of a crafty lifestyle while trying to be a good wife and mom. My husband and I collaborate on mixed metal/media jewelry + we just closed on a storefront in the historic district of Wayne, MI, a suburb of Detroit. Grand opening planned for fall 2015. We'll keep you posted on our progress here! View our etsy shops, Helium Studio and Post and Helium Vintage.

Pretty, empty nest
Out of town this week and not able to blog much. Here's a peek at a pretty shot. Amazing how birds can be such effective architects. Check out Angie Tanksley's Flickr photostream when you get a chance for more great outdoor shots.

"our font"
Whenever I see the font used on this collage, I instantly and easily recognize it, because we used it on our wedding invitations that we designed ourselves! I might see "our font" on a grocery store sign, or in a magazine ad, or in a piece of art like Marion's pictured here and I think, "Hey! They didn't ask permission from me!" Isn't that funny? Being protective of a font? Silly and sweet, huh?

"Bloom where you are planted."
What does this instruction (attributed to St. Francis de Sales) mean to you? For me it suggests patience, not wishing for what you don't have, or to be where you're not, because God's got a plan for you, right where you are. What do you think?
