July Greetings!

July Greetings!

Backtracking a bit since I last wrote, I did go to Salem, Ma and had a really nice time! I stayed at The Hawthorne Hotel in the infamous Room 325. I am very in tuned into feelings and vibes (an INFJ curse!) and I didn’t feel anything paranormal. That was okay because I love staying at historical hotels, there is so much inspiration in every nook and cranny.
Here are a few photos from my trip.

One of my fave moments was climbing the secret narrow, steep, and claustrophobic stairway into the attic at The House of Seven Gables. Please google it to see! So much history there. I really wish I’d had more time to explore! Field Trip anyone?

After my return, I took a Dinah Wakley class at Scraps of Love in Peoria. Such a wonderful time taking the class with my two artsy friends. Dinah is very generous with her techniques, ideas, and humor! YES! She had us all chuckling which of course made EVERYTHING fun!

Mini Tin Shrines has been my current art projects. They are all spiritual in nature with a message within each which says “Never Give Up.”  My hope is that this will reach someone at just the right time.

Lastly is ‘Guitar Maria’ a wooden 5” x 7” shrine, embellished with an eclectic array of adornments from wood, fabric, and metal, to crystals and glitter!

The shrines will be for sale in my Etsy store,

Each will come with a stand and a special postcard I had printed especially for this project.

Stay cool as best you can in this scorching heat!

With love and affection,
Silver Moon
Ps I love Steve!
