I'm glad I'm not the only one with a fear of running out of water at night, I always have a bottle and a backup ready to go incase of middle of the night extreme thirst. (Bottles because otherwise my Maine Coon tends to knock the glasses over. )
I want to know more about extreme pearl wearing. I recently designed and sold a 3 tier necklace with large irregular white pearls and cut quartz crystals, one of the most extreme pearl designs I ever made and still get chills every time I look at the photo.
I love your capacity for wonder. And now I'm back to allowing more ideas to flow in for how to do a jewelry subscription. When I really tune into what I love about my work, I get the most joy when I can interact with the purchaser rather just making a sale on the internet. So I'm building in a zoom call with me so we can focus on challenges, shifts, opening, possibilities coming up in life and choosing the gemstones to support, activate and help make the energy zing. Then I work with the stones and guides to create a dynamic piece of jewelry, and record myself as I focus in on the energy that the wearer and my creation will create together, along with ways to wear and/or use it - when writing, walking in the woods, meditating, going into a challenging meeting, and so on. I'm so psyched about sending this idea out to my followers, because I know with their feedback, this idea will keep growing. Love and Hugs AnnaMariah
What an original, creative, VERY COOL idea, Anna Mariah! It would be super neat if, on the call, you talked with the person about the next important dates / milestones they have for their life coming up that year - up for promotion, child graduating college, divorce finalized, selling house, etc. - and then make them a custom plan to have a new special jewel delivered just prior to each. Now that's some bespoke service! (Just make sure you charge accordingly. 😉) LOVE!
Thank you, wow, great idea to preplan for events coming up!! Your brain is an amazing place!! I was so tempted by your farmhouse offering, but having just committed to a bunch of marketing and social media plans, I couldn't quite hit that button. But may make a different choice next time you open it up.
You 100% must say yes to the donkey, they are such lovely creatures. There used to be two that I passed and chatted with on my daily walks. They also one day took ahold of my dress and refused to let go, making me wondering if anyone would believe as I walked home naked that it was a donkey that stole my dress. Lucky after some firm words and a lot of tug of war, they released, and I completed my walk, still dressed. So if nothing else, the donkey will provide amusement to fuel your writing.
If you can get access to BBC streaming, you'll find the show Scottish House of the Year on iPlayer, which feels like it would combine your current twin passions. I binged it over the weekend.
WUTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg. This is so exciting. Looking it up immediately! Sue, you're a GEM.
Scot here! :) Actually based in Edinburgh for the next year as have returned to finish a part-time Masters - if you ever need anything sent over for home decorating, would be happy to help.
Must! Know! Everything! Immediately! What are you there studying?!?!?!?!?!! Do you have giant 90-foot windows?!?!?!?! And, most importantly: do you go to Hector's in Stockbridge?!
I love this for you. I might have to cruise over there for a few months myself. (And THANK YOU for the offer, re: home decorating. You're going to die when you see what I'm launching next.)
Even though I live a very long way from any Targets (south coast of England) and live alone 5 days of the week and I somehow seem to already possess around 1,000 mugs, I still clicked on the link to see your new ones. I approve x
Wait - SILVER SCREEN SUPPERS IS YOUR BRAND?!?!?!? Oh my god! Do you know how cool that is?!?!?!?!? I looooooove this entire concept. That is a high concept, baby! (I talk about this a lot in my workshops.)
But now, to the matter at hand - loool - you should see how cute the mugs look hanging in the kitchen next to the olive green teapot!
Yeah baby! That's my brand, don't wear it out - hahahah! Now I know it is high concept my chest is all puffed out like a proud pigeon! Photo at some point please of the mugs with the teapot, and of course, your many and varied watering cans...
Get us a donkey, Ash! Perfect naming contest opportunity! Also, I love the wrap up to this. I am totally in the uncomfortable place of figuring out a life I love, but I am doing it. 💪
omg, we'd so have to get the farmhouse on a house sitters website and then EVERYONE CAN COME HAVE A TURN MINDING THE DONKEY. Baaahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!!!! I'm picturing there being a rule where you have to take an unconventional selfie with the donkey and post it as payment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ADORE the idea of the donkey!
The donkey itself is another matter. 🤔
That's PRECISELY how I feel, baahahah. She was like "we can take care of him while you travel!" I was like - so, for like, a year at a time? 🤣
In an homage to the UK, I think you should name your four-wheeler "Wheeler McWheelface"

Our locale is currently having a snow plow naming contest for 8th graders. I think I see a reprise coming.
Oh my god. It's definitely going to come out of my mouth at one point. LOL
