It is that time of year, the frickin Time Change. Or more officially, Daylight Savings. ( I have lamented over this odd custom for years.... ) I spent all day Monday walking around in a tired stupor, wishing it wasn't so dark when I got up and wasn't so light for so long in the evening! (it was weird eating dinner with it so light out!) But at least we can wear our sunglasses at night again! (and not appear as someone who is utterly ridiculously wearing sunglasses when it is totally dark out and obviously clinging desperately on to the 1980's lyrical fashion suggestions) I think the whole point of Daylight Savings in the beginning was fine, but in the modern world, it has lost its value. It is pointless these days! Time does not change - it continues steadily, no matter how much we all wish to stop it, or make it go faster. We aren't saving anything. I will pose the question again..... Can't we all just keep the clocks where they are and continu...

Story of my life.  Oh Crap I'm Late Again Clock My mother was always late. Growing up, w e were never super late, always five or ten minutes late. Not too late to miss much, but always late enough to miss the beginning.  I vowed to not be like that of course. But some things are just inevitable.  As I got older and functioned on my own time, I got to be less late. But still late just the same. I usually made it within the first five minutes of something, and even sometimes right on time. I never did manage to say I was actually early for something.  Rum Point, Grand Cayman Then I moved to the Caribbean, where late is the norm. Everything moved slower, perhaps the heat and beauty slowed everyone down. It was perfectly acceptable to be late. In fact, if you were on time or even (gasp) early, you were often all alone and then eyed suspiciously by those who showed up at the assumed proper start time, fifteen to thirty minutes after the stated time. Buffal...

My week has been spent with glass. All colors, all sizes. Thinking of dragonflies and butterflies, making smaller pieces of glass from bigger pieces. Digging through a box of glass, with all kinds of thoughts and visions going on in my head.  "I see nobody on the road," said Alice. "I only wish I had such eyes," the King remarked in a fretful tone. "To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance too! Why, it's as much as I can do to see real people, by this light."  ~Lewis Carrol, Through the Looking Glass What kind of things do you find when you spend the majority of time looking at and through colored glass, bigger and smaller pieces? Quite simply, you find these kinds of things ~ all found on Zibbet.com .

Each year that passes, we say this more and more.  I am really feeling it watching my kids grow. Now they are all teenagers, no more tweens. One is driving and will graduate high school in January (a semester early), another will start drivers education next week (gulp), and the last so excited to be going to high school next year. How fitting, then, that there are only TWO timepieces found at Vintage Raige, and they BOTH popped up in different collections last week! This collection, Step Back in Time , was all about time, all are timekeepers. Vintage Raige 's Sir Turtle watch is in this one, still waiting for someone to give him a new home.  Step back in time   Curated By: Recreate-Indi... ArtFire.com Indie Design Sir Turtle , the unofficial national logo for The Cayman Islands , has a special place in my heart, because his home is where I called home for 11 years. My children lived their young lives there, and boy did those years go by fast... Another tim...
