Serendipity!

one of my journal covers

it seems i’ve been having a generous dose of this delightful phenomenon in my life lately.  for instance there’s the situation with soraya.  we met online last summer through kelly rae’s flying lessons class and really connected.  she lived on the east coast, me on the west.  well, if you know her, you know the whole story, but bottom line:  she is now living less than 15 minutes from my house and we have already gotten together!

speaking of soraya, she mentioned last friday on her blog how it was “wear red” day for heart awareness.  i honestly had no idea, but check out the shirt that i happened to wear that day.

and speaking of friday, my husband talked me into a jaunt to the local thrift store, just to see what we could see.  well…. here are just some of my finds….there were these awesome painted trunks (so perfect for the studio), 

these journals perfect for my retreaters,

transparency film for printing, which i had just been talking to my friend pam about and lamenting how i never bought any because it was too expensive (umm – would you believe $2???)

i’m saving the best for last.  as i was shuffling through the bric-a-brac bin (i didn’t make that up, that’s actually what they call hodge-podge stuff) i ran across these 2 wooden words.

if you’ve been reading my blog for a while you know that not only is IMAGINE my “word of the year”, but it’s also the name of my brand new studio.

how do you like that for "coincidence"??
