AUSTENPROSE -- A JANE AUSTEN BLOG

I am starting late so will be starting on the February book - A change of Heart by Candice Hern

My goal is to shoot for  "Disciple" which means I am to ready 3 -5 books.  I believe that won't be any problem...except I also have my zombie book of the month club ...so yea...hum....

I am excited.  I have downloaded the Feb book and will be off and reading in no time.

Happy sighs all.

Calgary Blackfoot Farmers Market

We have a table this weekend at the Blackfoot Farmers Market

5600 - 11 Street S.E Calgary Alberta

I have made some sweet Baby girl bracelets. Come and check the out.

Spring Boot Fair

I am really looking forward to May 28th! I have NO idea how I will display jewelry from the back or "BOOT" of my car??!! Calgary Marlborough Community Centre is having their Spring Boot Fair beginning at 9 a.m to 3 pm.

It is an outdoor sale where people sell garage sale and commercial items from the trunk of their vehicles. Clothing, perfume, electronics, tools, collectables..JEWELRY, and much more.

There will also be a bouncy castle, mascots, face painting and fun for the entire family.

It is my first year as a vendor at this sale and I am so looking forward to it. I hope it will be a yearly event for me.

Hope to see you all there.

"FIT FOR A QUEEN"

I am finding necklaces worn by royalty in the past and making my versions of them. I LOVE this one.

Royal Red Sweetheart.

I am so looking forward to my craft fairs this year. I have 5 booked so far. More to come .

Every Morning...

Every morning, decide the traits you want to exhibit today; the kinds of experiences you want to have & the kind of life you want to live.
Hone your attitudinal muscles by getting clear on these kinds of things, holding the thoughts and then handing them to the Divine. Then your subconscious mind starts making them manifest.

Marianne Williamson

1st craft fair of the year

Had my first craft fair of the year. It is always a success if you make the cost of the table plus a little extra. So I am pleased. We had it at Whitehorn Community Centre last Saturday. We are hoping that this craft fair (weekly) will be rewarding for us this year and give us a lot of opporunities to show our jewelery and sell sell sell.

B & B BEADING will be at the Whitehorn Community Craft Sale May 1 10 am to 4 p.m. Come check out our jewelery!!! :)

2010 CRAFT FAIRS

OK the 2010 Craft Fairs are beginning to get book!!

Red Deer Highland Games - June 26, 2010 at Westerner Exposition Park, Red Deer Alberta

The Calgary Police Rodeo - August 21, 2010 at Airdrie Rodeo Grounds

I am amazed with myself. I bead allllll night on Friday nights. I would turn on the space channel or any scary movie playing and bead away. BUT - for the last few weeks now, I have been tuned into HGTV and IT STAYS THERE!! I absolutely love LOVE "Love it or List it"...I get the real estate AND the Renos in one show...HEAVEN!

Truly though, I don't even know where the switch came from, it just did. Maybe one night there was nothing sufficiently scary on Space and I began flipping channels.

Whatever, I am hooked how they can take a gutted out building and create such a wonderful home!! I try to guess which homes the couple will choose at the end of the episodes andI have just recently discovered I want stainless steel applicances. I try to visualize olive green for my livingroom walls. Do I really like paisley? mmmm Not really...but they seem to make it look wonderful.

To go from A.V.P. to HGTV, now THAT is scary!

step by step - day by day - life is meant to be interactive.

My sister has sent me a necklace to fix. It was our Grandmother's necklace and it broke on her. It is lovely...and I am happy to do this for her :) It has also inspired me as well, I love the design and will (absolutely) copy it. lol

Journal writting is keeping me sane. I enjoy exposing my thoughts to clean, virgin pages. Habits must be formed. Writers write...and so I must write. BUT I am also a "beader", so I also must bead...creation is such a busy thing.

Love

"We love purely when we release other people to be who they are." (Marianne Williamson)

Resin ball joint Doll accessories

I am thinking of making beaded veils for ball joint dolls!! will be trying my first to see how it goes. Great idea eh!

"The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best which is within us." (Marianne Williamson - A Return to Love)

I love walking. We have a park here that has amazing trails, beautiful scenery, quiet - everything you would wish for.

I, unfortunately, am a creature of habit. I go to this wonderful park...and walk the same trail every time. So on Sunday, I changed it up some. I took a left off my usual path and discovered paradise. For years I have walked in this park, and never knew really how gorgeous it is.

I think we do that with life. We do the same things every day. Eat the same foods. Take the same route to work. Say the same things to our loved ones. It's really not surprising that humans turn off, shut down and "stop".

We stop learning, growing, becoming.

Prozac, instead of creating.
Doctor's visitis, instead of activity.
Bordom, instead of joy.

Perhaps, if we change up our lives a bit every once in a while, we would discover a new "us".
We all can:
Improve an already discovered talent or take a class to learn something you have always wanted to do.
Read a book from a section we normally don't even venture into.
Take a mini-holiday to a site nearby that we haven't been to before (or haven't been for a while).
Play.

Let us enjoy OUR lives. Enjoy who we are, and who we are becoming.

Joy to all.

Goddess

"We are here to co-create with God by extending love. Life spent with any other purpose in mind is meaningless, contrary to our nature, and ultimately painful." (A Return to Love)

The road to "becoming" a Goddess is long and I believe wide - encomposing a wide variety of activities and personalities. I begin today. Seeking my path..my becoming.

I believe a Goddess has cultivated strength, elegance and propriety.

I hold in my hand a rose quartz, which has been preceived as an important fertility stone in many centuries and as I turn it over in my hand, my thoughts are on my desire to learn how to become a "Lady". My journey begins....



ROSE QUARTZ
Stimulates circulation, and has a refreshing effect.
Strengthens friendships, and opens the mind to beautiful things.
Symbolizes love.


GODDESS: BRIGID
Brigid is one of the most important and valuable goddesses in Irish mythology.
She is the goddess of fire, poetry, wisdom, fertility, agricullture, livestock, blacksmithing, crafts (:), and all the arts of the household.
