I cried like a baby when I opened the package. I can't even fully express what it felt like in that moment. There is something so magical about a gesture like this. It says that even after all our years together, that he still sees me, and gets me in a way that makes me feel so known and loved, just as I am. That is the best gift ever.
You have to check out the Capri Blue catalogue to see the rest of their gorgeous jewellery collection. Oh so many lovelies! And look at the packaging - every detail crafted with love and artistry. Did I mention it is handmade in Langley, BC, just a half hour drive from my house?
I also wanted to share with you some pretty music, which is also locally made. I discovered Sheree Plett when she opened for Peter Katz show at the Railway Club in Vancouver. She performs live as a duo with her husband, and they have the sweetest harmonies! It's a lovely, folk-country album. This is the perfect album to brighten up a dreary winter afternoon. Click on the album cover below to check out her music on iTunes.
And one last piece of inspiration to share this week, a fantastic article by Dave Rowley from Creative Chai titled Parenting is a Creative Act. This piece perfectly expresses how I feel about artful parenting.
What is inspiring you this week?

Wow, the jewelry is beautiful and I can't even believe the gorgeous packaging! I am finding inspiration in having slowed down for most of January and being present in the moments- the simplest conversations I have with my children triggers memories, inspires writing and/or drawings- I'm looking forward to looking at the jewelry collection and the parenting article, thanks for sharing them! xoxo
