Treasure Hunt

I love the treasures you discover while visiting other blogs.

For example, I was looking at this bracelet on Cheryl's blog, and it reminded me of the incredible work of Annie Larson (also featured by Cheryl in a previous post), so I went to Annie's blog and found links to...

Janis & Cheryl- oh wow! Thanks!

I always feel excited about sharing the work of others...but I always figured that most of what I post- people already know about...good to hear that is not always the case.

Annie-Thank YOU!

Annie had imagination and confidence from the first, and such a funny take on the things she made. She made beautiful pieces out of strange materials before she knew how to sew. Her letter sweateris an object of beauty. Sofia also surprises me, again, and again. Imagination is the hope of the world. Thanks for writing about our recent get-together
