Joy stick and heather bliss...

Who would have thought that a box of letter stamps (blessed be the Swedish store "Clas Olsson"!) could be such a source of joy! Yes, I did go a little letter crazy in Sweden, and the concrete candle holders in the last entry were just the beginning of many nights of happy stamping... A number of scrap pieces of rough wood briefly came eye to eye with some sand paper and a paint brush, before seeing the same lettered fate. 

Many are the crafty bloggers who write wise and inspiring words on strips of wood, and I do see why. There is something very satisfying in creating these little messages to be hung somewhere around the house where the hopeful sign is free to spread its worded goodness...

Here, one of the "joy sticks" poses in a Swedish pine forest together with a pot that begged to be moved from a flower shop in Sweden to new pastures in the UK. Well, what could I do but obey such a reasonable request? All in the name of happiness...
