Blog-o-sphere Think Tank - #4 - May Edition - Favorite Quote

It is that time again for the Blog-o-sphere Think Tank! This month's topic is a fun one. And though I thought it would be easy... apparently it isn't! I'm one of those people who loves quotes. In college, I had different quotes pasted all around my room. It's hard to not love anything by Einstein. I mean, he was a genius after all!

"Imagination is more important than knowledge" just might be my favorite. I had this tshirt when I was in high school. Though I quit wearing it, I kept it b/c I loved it so much - it's in my studio for inspiration.

I also remember loving this one the first time I heard it:

"Your mind is like a parachute. It only works if it is open." - Anthony D'Angelo

And really they both relate to each other. Having an excellent imagination and an open mind go hand in hand!

Must post one from my dear Swami Satchidananda: "People often ask me, "What religion are you? You talk about the Bible, Koran, Torah. Are you a Hindu?" I say, I am not a Catholic, a Buddhist, or a Hindu, but an Undo. My religion is Undoism. We have done enough damage (with religious dogma). We have to stop doing any more and simply undo the damage we have already done."

Love. It.

And my favorite made up quote.... "Everyone has issues, some people just have more than others." catchy right?

Dandelion Rings and Tea Tab Quote of the Day

I had a custom order for the men's band and finally got photos of a set taken of the gold dandelion wish bands. I think they turned out so lovely and with the giant crop of dandelions everywhere, its the perfect ring to post for today! Doing them in yellow gold seems so natural. Love them!

and there was a new tea tab quote today! The past few days have all been repeats. This one may be from a long time ago... but I don't think I have posted it before.

True wealth is the ability to let go of your possessions.

have a great day!!!
xoxo

Tea Tab Quote of the Day and studio update

so, apparently, with a new box comes new quotes! fantastic!

Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light.

(and the photo is from my castings this week - only a rush order sent out, but I got a lot done and will work on getting these all finished up the next few days. Some really lovely pieces in there!!! 11 individuals or couples are represented here - look at all that love!!!)

Tea Tab Quote of the Day and studio update

Yay for springtime!

Well, my tea tab quotes may be a bit on the way out. I think they must have one for each of the tea bags in the box, but I am starting to have more and more repeats. Today's was a new one though!

Serve humanity so that people feel we are kind to them.

Indeed.

Things here in the studio are quite busy. And by "quite" I mean, the busiest I've ever been. Its very good and very exciting, and I'm doing much better about prioritizing, which means my computer time is being cut short so I can stay on top of the incoming orders. This means my blogging time is one of the first to go, especially w/ repeated quotes coming in! I've been trying to take photos of the week's groupings, though I often mail out a few during the week, but this is one shot from last week:


and from the weekend's batch (I normally take most of the weekend off, but this was a little bit of a work weekend)


(These are also counting as my ring-a-days #90 - 104!)

Tea Tab Quote of the Day

May your inner self be secure and happy.

... and allergy free!
Not as "pretty" of a photo as I usually post, but goodness, check out that pollen. Yesterday the pollen count was around 1900 and today it is a bit over 2900! in a day it jumped that much! It is definitely the time of year that the neti pot comes in handy. I'm hoping that this year I will consistently stay with using it and not have my one week of allergies. Many people I know feel terrible during this time of year. I only have a tiny dose of one particular plant in my yard that seems to affect me. I'm not sure what it is, but it's usually later in the season a bit and I think is something I've never been around before b/c it never happened until I lived at this house. Though I'm hoping this year it just won't happen! I'm planning on keeping my immune system boosted and "cleaned" out. Spring time already makes me feel like a super hero, so I'm hoping I'll just plow right through with no problem!

Tea Tab Quote of the Day

Delight the world with your compassion, kindness and grace.

My sweet little Japanese maple is so lovely right now and looks better than it ever has before!

Tea Tab Quote of the Day

Appreciate yourself and honor your soul.

Thats a good one if I do say so myself :)

Tea Tab Quote of the Day

The best way of life is to be, simply be.

Spring is here and I want to 'be' outside in the sunshine - well, if the sunshine wants to come out and play that is. The flowers are finally starting to come out - Its been so cold this year that the early flowers (daffodils, crocus, spirea) were all a month or two later than usual!! Oddly it seems to have made them all come out with a vengeance though. The tulips (flowers) aren't up yet, but there seem to be more (leaves) than we've ever had before. Which is exciting b/c I love tulips.

Tea Tab Quote of the Day

The greatest tool you have is to listen.

Tea Tab Quote of the Day

Where there is love, there is no question.

Tea Tab Quote of the Day

Find happiness within yourself. Then share yourself with others.

Very similar to yesterday's, but hey, you can never have too much happiness!

Tea Tab Quote of the Day

I drink a cup of tea every morning. Sometimes two or three! Most of the I drink the Yogi brand tea. I love the little sayings they have on the little tabs. Today's was particularly sharing worthy - so I thought it might be a nice regular thing for me to post. Short and simple and a lovely thought for the day.

Today's is

Be so happy that when others look at you they become happy too.

Isn't that lovely?! So your mission today, should you accept it, is to be that happy, be infectiously happy and joyful and have a wonderful day!
