The first peonies of the season are always the best!

Sneaky Preview of Pet Talk Show's Easter Eggstravaganza!!!
Don't we look cute in matching bunny ears???
I always have sooooooo much fun with
the adorably wonderful Lauren Collier!
We had some fab Easter fun today
taping her Pet Talk show for next weekend 4/8 & 4/9/12.
I had a lot to set up...This segment was especially enjoyable...
but I can't let the cat out of the bag...
er... I mean the Easter Bunny out of the basket...
You'll just have to wait 'til Saturday or Sunday to see what we created!
Tune in to New Channel 12's

Fri(hens) with benefits...
I was thrilled to be asked to babysit my friend's chickens yesterday,
and I got to keep the results!
Check out these gorgeous eggs!
It's kind of hard to see the subtle colors,
but the shades of cream, pink, brown and yes,
that gorgeous Aracauna blue are beyond beautiful...
This is only the second time in my life
that I have possessed real, fresh, still warm hen's eggs...
an indescribable treat!
Should I eat them this very minute???
Hmmmmm.....
I might just have to save these beauties and blow them out
so I can enjoy them forever!

Happy (almost) Love Day...
Two of my newest cards to celebrate LOVE...(sigh)...
I love mixing gorgeous, vintage images
with my (often twisted...ahem!...) words.
These cards are simple and simply beautiful.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The Families to Families Boutique at Trackside was a huge success!
We sold lots of glittergoods, gave (and received) lots of hugs
and took enough orders to keep us busy 'til Christmas eve!!!!
(and we got to debut our fab new aprons, embroidered by SignatureStyle)
I am always amazed at how our town supports artists
and small businesses.

Yes, even the glitterfairy plays hookey once in a while...
There I am, right in the front row with wonderful friends,
20 feet away from Regis and Kelly!
(Thank you soooo much Ann, for the VIP seats!)
And what fun we had!
Regis and Kelly were so lovely to the studio audience,
and during breaks, shook hands and chatted.
They even posed for pictures with us after the show!
(I don't get into NY nearly often enough, and though
this is my busy season, I couldn't miss this fun day.)
I was then treated to a marvellous lunch
at Fiorello at Lincoln Center (THANK YOU, Ann!!!),
we strolled thru Central Park admiring the colorful foliage,
did some window shopping along Fifth Avenue,
inspected Harry Winston's fab jewels...ahem!...,
saw the tree going up at Rockefeller Center,
then headed back to the glitter mines...
What a wonderful and memorable day...
I love playing hookey...

Dare to be different!
Sweet images of The Cape remind me...
"Don't be afraid to be a little outside of the box,
march to your own beat---forge your own beautiful path."
Must pass this on to my kids...

Memorize this...
Happy last day of summer...
This was the very first year that we managed to outsmart the deer!
Our hydrangeas were kindly (and gloriously) allowed to bloom.
What a divine gift from nature!
(FYI- "Hydrangea" is the botanical name for "deer food"! lol!)
Must keep this image in mind
as the cold winds start to blow...
sigh....

Two n(ewe) friends...
How do those spindly little legs hold all that fluff up?
One of the great mysteries of life...
Enjoyed these lovelies at the Bridgewater Country Fair.

The boss briefly awakens from a "cat nap"
Here at GlitterWorks, sometimes it is a bit of a
challenge to get things done.

Teddy likes work, but he prefers to sleep upon it
rather than to actually do work!
And he does his very best to keep me from doing it, too!
Time for another nap!

Peachy Beachy Cards...
Now that summer is almost upon us,
I am in full production of my beach cards.
I think they are my most favorite images.
Whether it is Chatham, Amagansett or Brewster,
these glittery cards make me feel like I have my toes in the sand!
This is Chatham's Lighthouse Beach, one of my favs...
and...those chairs...so beautifully lined up at The Chatham Bars Inn...
The Fish Pier (glamor shot...lol)
The Chatham Lighthouse...
and...in case you don't know how to find beautiful Chatham,
here's a map!
Each of these cards feature my own photographs,
hand printed on Crane's Museo Card Stock,
and embellished with just a touch of glitter
for a bit of elegant shine!
