Thinking of Cheryl

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am married with 2 children and 4 grandchildren.
I teach children with autism.

I have an eclectic nature and I am a hippie at heart

I love silver jewelry such as Stacking rings and rings made out of vintage spoons. Steampunk jewelry, earrings(hoops and dangles) ,bangles and charm bracelets.

I love earth tones and jewel tones~ the combination of red brick and ochre yellow, sapphire blue and sunflower yellow like the colours of Tuscany and Provincial

I AM NOT INTO DISNEY OR KAWII OR ANYTHING OVERLY CUTE OR SWEET but I do love the CLASSIC POOH (JUST NOT DISNEY)

I adore shopping and lurking in thrift shops, antique stores and flea markets

I love the work of Klimt and Monet and the Group of Seven. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~http://farm4.static.flickr.com

Sometimes greed just takes over.
I have always thought this site was to create and exchange for the love of arts and crafts. It would be nice to venture back to that way of swapping.
