The Beauty of Kiramic

Now I am no expert when it comes to ceramics or any art for that matter but I do know what is interesting, beautiful craftmanship when I see it - or should that be craftwomanship!!

These lovely pieces are by Kira O Brien who is a ceramic and visual artist from Cork, Ireland.
















Beautiful pieces to adorn your home or to give to someone special.  Thankyou Kira for sharing your special gift.

Nature



Outside in nature - oozing with wonderment, leaves, pebbles, animals great and small.


Friends with nature, your favourite new feathered companion whistling happily in an unique green home.


Swimming with nature, shells, fish of beautiful colors, seaweed and dolphins.

It is a wonderful, gorgeous world just ready to explore.   Where will you start?

It's Show Time!


As a kid, on Sunday afternoons, you could find me sitting in front of the tv watching Tarzan Theater. And in 1987, when I first began working from home, I canceled my cable tv, because there was a new channel that ran old movies all day long. I thought I might not be able to resist...

Silent Heart Vintage on etsy is a wonderful place to indulge your love of old movies.

the classic dramatic spotlight





I think I missed The Mummy's Ghost...

Take a peek at SilentHeartVintage, you'll find some of your old favorites there, but you'll need to bring your own popcorn...
