treasured

Each Wednesday I post about some sort of treasure I found during the past week. It might be thrifted or found on a walk or whispered in my ear or discovered on a dark shelf in the basement. Something. Anything that makes me feel lucky and thankful. It doesn’t necessarily have to make its way home with me – it just has to be noticed. The idea is for it to cost very little and feel very big. After all, this isn’t about acquiring new things; it is about paying better attention to the world around me.

If you discovered a treasure this week (a new friend, a snow fairy, a fancy dish at the thrift store, a bird’s nest) please do share it, as well as any links, in the comments section below.

*****

 I found half of a robin’s egg!  And let me just tell you – it is the most beautiful, deep shade of blue.

 

  I tried my best to capture the color with different lighting and backgrounds.  It is such a complex and moody shade of blue, though. I did my best.

Oh, the luck!  Mouse keeps telling people about “our robin’s egg” when they come to visit.  It’s like we won a contest and she wants to show off our fancy new thing – as if people are coming to the house just to see our half of a robin’s egg.  Maybe they are?

Fly on by baby robin (when you’re good and strong, of course)

About Emily

Hi, I’m Emily. I love discovering ways for people to stretch the boundaries of their imaginations. I’m especially interested in exploring the connection between art & writing, and how both can nurture people’s capacity to imagine. I share inspiration, projects, curriculum ideas, creative tools, and links to fantastic resources in this space.

Welcome!
I’m so glad you are here.

    I found one the other day as well-right on the railing of our deck-I have no idea how it landed right there and it is nearly perfect-so beautiful!

    How lucky you are! I have to say this is just ‘one of those things’ that I’ve always wanted to find. Nothing beats that stunning blue!

    I bet you’ll find one someday, Julie.
