New @ Lima Beads

I know that much of the U.S. is up to its eyes in snow, but here in sunny So. Cal. we are up to our eyes in sunshine and thinking of spring! The lovely folks at Lima Beads ask me what I have in mind for spring. Here is the low down on the new spring sets that just launched at www.limabeads.com

Happy New Year...

How does the time go by so fast? For me, it has been a time of creativity and reflecting on the year that has past. A time for being thankful for my healthy family and friends and remembering those who have passed. A time to call on those dear ones who have moved to distant lands. (Yes. Michigan is a distant land.) Gifts under a tree are a blessing, but a greater blessing is having the memories of the past year. A look back….

Happy New Year! XO Gaea

Dish It Up

The holidays are almost over and the year is nearly over as well. I tend to make hearts year round but with Valentines Day just around the corner, I amped up the hearty goodness! A few heart dishes are going to land in my Indiemade shop with sweet little spoons! perfect for a dash of sugar or a sprinkle of salt. Here is a list of the things you could use these special dishes for…

These dishes are perfect for holding...

spare change

a ring or two

a spoon while cooking

a tea bag

a bit of sugar 

a dash of salt

a little soap... or just your gaze. 

The smaller dishes have helped out around the studio by holding a few beads.

Open Heart

I have been a collector of little things for as long a I can remember. My aunt gifted me with a sweet little lidded ceramic heart dish when I was about 9. I collected a few over the years in various materials and sizes so it is no wonder that I should have a fascination with all things heart shaped….

The larger dishes are between 3 and 4 inches wide and are perfect for holding loose change, a ring or two or just your gaze. The smaller dishes have helped out around the studio by holding a few beads, a spoon or a tea bag. You can find these at gaea.indiemade.com
