things that i love: old. lace. iridescent stones. little birds. tender thoughts. anything untechnological. anything that is simple and quiet and pure.
i will not let myself become angry when this computer connection goes away, and when it comes back, the post that i've been working on with dozens of links has completely disappeared. deep breaths. quiet thoughts. still heart. pleasantries. yes.
so for today, then, only these images. quiet ones. lovely and sweet. lovelies that trigger sweeter memories. talismans for a midwinter afternoon of waiting. watching. listening. such is late winter, when the world has stopped spinning long enough to breathe in, breathe out, breathe in a little more slowly. out. in. yes.
shhh....
Beautiful....

So beautiful, these new necklaces.
Doesn't the computer drive you mad - I've no patience for it. Thank you for posting anyway, Nina - despite your frustration.

So beautiful. A good reminder to slow down and breathe-the only thing we have to do.

breathing is such a good thing...
computers and internet are magical and strange, it can be like riding a mechanical unicorn at times, but oh can it take you places undreamed of...
the necklace is so beautiful - around my neck and resting against my chest it would make me feel like a queen...
love all the way around your waiting,watching,listening,breathing february day

Nina, all I can say is that you inspire me beyond any other artist. I am in depth with you! I want to be you when I grow up! Please...just don't stop ever what you create otherwise, I will look for you for eternity.
I'm still a baby in creating...

My word of the year for 2011 was breathe and I know I'm much more aware of taking things slowly and thinking before acting. My lovely "breathe" necklace from you has really helped me to remember to do that!
