Hello Kara, I'm visiting from vicki's GYOB party and am so glad that you left a comment on my blog so that I could come straight here to visit you. What a beautiful blog you have and such a lovely way with words. Is that your beautiful artwork in your post? I wish I could paint like that - perhaps one day ;)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, and so good to meet you, Kara. Thank you for stopping in to my blog today, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful way you've organized your post. I can see that it really reflects youu!
Dear Kara

Specially the seed-pods!

Hello Kara, I always am happy to stop by your blog. I first discovered it, I believe with Scavenger Hunt Sunday. Happy to meet you, and always fascinating seeing and hearing about where you live!
ReplyDeleteHi Kara,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog earlier today -- so very much appreciated! :)
You know what got me hooked in your description -- "wood-sprite elvish girl." That's so sweet!
By the way, I also love to read books -- do you ever blog about your favorite ones?
Lots of greetings from Munich, Germany,
Birgit
Hi Kara! It's so nice to meet you! Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog from your Grow Your Blog party tour and for becoming a follower! We love sisters in art and one can never have too many in my opinion. Your post is so lovely and my all the things you are interested in! I'm feeling a kindred spirit thing happening :D I went to graduate school in Boston (Simmons College). I'm actually a native New Yorker but I am loving my country life here in New Hampshire, although I do miss the ocean! I am now following your blog as well and shall look forward to many more visits in the future. I am one of Vicki's helpers for this party so for now I must hop over to other blogs but I will be back.

I am so glad I found your blog! I just love it. I love the beach as well... my favorite place in the world is Cape Cod (Sandwich to be exact)... and I also love photography and writing. Thank you for joining the party and sharing your blog! Amanda from cookingwithamanda.com
ReplyDelete... And you're a great photographer and photo editor :) You take beautiful photos and your editing makes everything so poetic. Whatever it is, how simple the things are, it's all poetry seeing it through your lens. Which I love! Mmm, which makes me realize that I haven't shared a poem on my blog for a long time. I did share poems that I love, but haven't done so for a while. Great to hear you're inspired to take up needle work again! Will you be sharing some of it here on your blog too? Wishing you a beautiful day, hugs, Wendy (of AppleApricot) (By the way, I'm following you now through bloglovin.)

I can't wait to come back and explore further. I live in New Brunswick, next door to Maine, and we are getting pummeled with the same storm. I hope you are keeping safe and warm.
