Spring
From one lover of Spring to another - those who live in northern climates really anticipate and relish Spring when it arrives. Even though we're only at 460 ft, our winters are long, gray and snowy. When that first robin appears on a frosty morning, the spirits lift and the mind awaits the first hint of green. Love how you've tied nature's renewal in with your new Spring pieces - they are lovely! When you sell your Spring Breeze earrings, wouldn't it be fun to send along the pic of those aspens!
