Simple Sunday- Yes I am a Tree Hugger-Literally;-)

This is one of my best nature friends Old Willie- He is one of the many old Willow tree we have in our neighorhood. I love his long trendeling brances that reach all the way to the ground. Oh yes, Willie has seen alot of action in his prime- but most recently the top portion of his trunk had to be cut off after he was struck by lightning.

Old Willie is a big tree still but man, before the strike his branch span was HUGE!!!!! It's ok Old Willie has given me plenty of shelter in the summer and gentle breezes in the Spring.. I have meditated many times under his sheltering care and even came home with a few leaves in my hair;-)

Just something simple I wanted to share.  Love you, Willie;-)

Bag Making Night at EtsyLabs

Hey family Elcome to Brooklyn - LOL I typed that on purpose;-) I didn't notice I cut off the W in this photo till it was too late. But this is one on the cool Wecome signs you see when you enter downtown Brooklyn just off the Brooklyn Bridge. I took a pic of this one on my way to EtsyLabs Monday Craft Night November 16th.

Hey, who needs building  numbers when you can have a super bright neon sign located right in your building's lobby LOL! This is the first thing yuo can when you reach the address when EtsyLabs is located;-)

Here we are on the fifth floor where Etsy is located;-) My camera battery was dying so I had to limit my pics..so not happy about that;- alot of the pics came out fuzzy and out of focus- these are the best ones I had till I can get he others ones fixed up;-(
