Grateful @ The Red Barn Outdoor Market

Here are just three (of many) moments which made my day:

 

My cousin was carrying around her friend's beautiful child today (his mama was working a booth). I totally stole a kiss on his soft baby cheek. Seriously. Look at him! Chloe and I still can't get over him.  

These were the only four adults (without children) who sat and colored mandalas today. Not only that, they asked for me to do my whole spiel/took me up on a guided mindful moment to pause and be present with their experience.They were engaging and grateful---and I was so blessed by their energy.

(Several children also paused and colored but that is to be expected, isn't it? Is it because children like to color more? I do not think so. I will say it was so cold the first few hours that even I had to keep moving around to stay warm.)

This is my friend's baby's hand wrapped around one of my solid silver creations. I made this necklace for her long before she had her own children. Seeing her baby's (oh my gosh he has the BEST brown eyes and dimples) beautiful hand around these words (with these words referenced on the back of the pendant)...well, it's impossible for me to even begin to describe the emotion this stirs in me. I'm not sure there are even words for this type of eternal bridging.

I am just so grateful for today. Thank you to all who stopped or popped in and connected with me---I love to love you!
