A New Nest

 The new year finds me in a new home! My boyfriend and I have been living somewhat out of town for a few months, and getting used to neighbors is interesting. If you clean out your car in your robe, and then teeter up the stairs with enormous piles of books, precarious coffee cups and (don't ask) a snakeskin, there are witnesses. But I like the view of the sun rising over their roofs.
 I made up a few magnets from Sculpy clay imprinted with stamps and favorite jewelry, sticking with a nature theme. A little gold paint, and magnet tape from the hardware store, and viola!
 The nature theme has spread through most of the house, less on purpose than because thats what we enjoy, and the little treasures we collect reflect that. Its also nice and peaceful!
There may be a little "supernatural" mixed in too... I'm excited to fill this Kraken bottle with green sea glass and graceful spirals of driftwood.
