Today...I am honored to feature two artist...

One of my favorite things...in the whole wide world...is collecting
     shells and rocks! I never return home from a hike or the beach...
     that my pockets and pack are not overflowing with lovelies!
     You can read a bit about this obsession here!
When I first discovered an author/illustrator who's book about heart
     shaped rocks was featured in one of my faves...
     Sundance Catalog...I just knew I had to contact her!
     So I wrote to her...and told her about the many years I have
     collected rocks and shells.
     I told her about the huge glass jar of heart shaped rocks
     my Mother and I have collected over the years!

Meet Josie Iselin...author and illustrator of books
about "looking closely and gaining inspiration from the
wonder in the everyday around us."
Josie lives with her husband and three children on a steep hill
in San Fransisco.
Josie "revels in the forms of her world..." and says
"the wonder and delight of looking closely never fades."

I am tickled-pink to be sending one lovely winner
autographed copies of these two lovely books!
(And might I say...my life will simply not be complete until I have ALL of her books!!)

Josie also has several other books...all inspired by the world

around her!

is sure to be one of her best!

everyone to support their local bookstores!

Thank you Josie...you are a delightful soul.

And now...yet another artist/designer who
"enjoys exploring her creativity in a myriad of ways...
connecting with nature and spirit."
