x, y, z & ordinary things

Today I just felt like posting something light and breezy, so here is a row of paper flags from my ever growing paper scrap collection. I simply cut out triangles with fancy edged scissors and folded them over the twine with a little glue.  When I walk in my art room I see little miniature kites in a cornflower blue sky.

I also felt like writing a list of 'loves' in celebration of Valentine's week... 

I LOVE:

• when the huge Carolina moon lingers over the hazy indigo mountain tops
• the wondrous amount of love that circulates through my life 
• the moment when the perfect paint color reveals itself
• the stunning acoustic guitar music in the world
• looking forward to a long awaited trip to the ruins in Mexico
• the day after a great yoga class
• a simple walk home with a friend
• when you know you have helped soothe someone with your words
• quietude, grace and gratefulness
• the beauty in ordinary things
