Whats new in the Boutique and more free Fairy images

We spent our 4th of July out on the lake.  No, we didn't get food poisoning from our picnic, this picture is just of something I added to the Boutique.

There are a bunch of these listed in the shop now.  I think this one is my fave, aren't those great graphics?

Of course, the tins are cool too.  Maybe I'm attracted to the green?

 
I debated leaving the pills in the boxes, some were really pretty.  But, I figured that it would be smarter to dump them out and take them to the pharmacy to be disposed of properly.

Who knows what on earth was in those pills? These were from way before such things were regulated. 

Its been awful hot lately, but was so nice out on the lake.  Sugarwings and my husband took a long swim from the cove to the shore, and he says she told him "it was lovely" out there on the lake. 

She was right, "lovely" was the perfect word to describe the sun setting over the trees while a warm breeze blew across the lake.

It was all around, a good day.  I hope your holiday was a good one too.

We made fruit salad and baked bread to take on the picnic, (still loving that bread maker) then I foofed up the living room a bit before hitting the lake in the late afternoon after the worst heat of the day had passed.

Everything around here was so dry and brown, that I wanted to brighten things up indoors by adding some roses around the room.  I'll have pictures of the mini redo in the next post.

 

I even managed to do a little work on my Faerie Book Swap.  Which is still open if you'd like to join.

This image is the cover of a box of old birthday candles.  To print it, click on it to save from a larger window.

Here it is again, edited to sepia.

Hope to see you in the swap! We are up to 75, there will be a great selection of pages for me to make the books with!! Its getting exciting and the pages haven't even started to arrive yet, I'm just giddy with anticipation!
