"Across the Sea"

You are 18 year old girl who live in small city in Japan.
You heard me,
on the radio.
About one year ago and you wanted to know,
all about me,
and my hobbies.
My favorite food and my birthday
Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
you've got my song

They don't make stationery like this where I'm from - so fragile, so refined
So I sniff
and I lick
your envelope and fall to little pieces every time
I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself and curse myself for being across the sea

Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
you've got my song

At 10 I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
I thought the older women would like me if i did
You see mom, I'm a good little boy
It's all your fault, momma.
It's all your fault

Goddamn, this business is really lame
I gotta live on an island to find the juice
So you send me your love
from all around the world
As if I could live on words and dreams and a million screams
oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel.

Why are you so far away from me?
Why are you so far away from me?
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
you've got my song
I've got your letter
you've got my song

Fine art photography by Irene Suchocki. Eye Poetry Photography Italy

One of my favorite Etsy photographer's is Irene Suchocki.  Her shop is called Eye Poetry Photography.

I choose to share with you some of Irene's travel photography of Italy.  Here is a little bit about Irene as well as some links for you to explore.

"In my photography I combine my love of travel and place with a dream-like aesthetic to create visual poems that evoke a sense of magic, delight, nostalgia and romance. I love to photograph iconic places such as Paris, New York, and Venice in a way that gives the sense of having tumbled through a secret doorway into a previously unseen world. When I am not traveling, I turn to nature for inspiration and for subject matter, with a particular fondness for trees and coastal landscapes."

Owl Creek Ceramics on Etsy

You had me at Owl...

Hello & Happy Monday!  I have got some really unique pieces to show you from a ceramics shop on Etsy.  The name of this awesome shop is Owl Creek Ceramics.  Below are some of my favorite pieces along with some links for you to check out.  Special thanks to Dyna & John for letting me feature their shop :)

The also have a vintage & supply shop:

"When we started Owl Creek Ceramics we were both working full time in education and John was traveling a lot. We didn’t have that much free time, but we made a goal to spend at least a few minutes every day on our business. If we couldn’t actually work in the clay, then just thinking about it would count. It turned out to be a powerful goal and now we’re so immersed in it, it’s more of a lifestyle than a business.
Six years ago, we made a huge addition to our little studio and it’s our dream come true. It’s over 4,000 square feet! It’s right across the driveway from our house. We have a gallery area with shelves, a big beautiful check out /wrapping table that John made, and my giant decorating table that John also made and it’s on wheels. I look out onto one of our ponds and also see the rolling hills in the background. It’s a lovely view and it inspires both of us. We have open houses several times a year. It’s really more like a big get together where customers run into old buddies and meet new friends. We always have food and the studio looks its best. At Christmas, we bring in several trees and we have lots of poinsettias all over the place. I start decorating in the summer for Christmas and I love it.

I do all the decorating and have a blast thinking of new ideas and patterns. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks, Dyna"

When I was a child I used to walk around with my hands folded like a camera before my eyes to see what the world would look like through my own little window. Not much has changed since then.

When not chasing my one-year-old around or working on my book (one of my other childhood dreams come true), I love to travel, experience other cultures and make beautiful photographs that – hopefully - capture the beauty, richness and global feel of the country or region pictured. I especially love to photograph people, nature, animals and quirky things that put a smile on my face. I live in a small town close to the forest with my husband, little boy and two grumpy cats.

Other things I love: reading many, many books, crocheting, drawing, music, cats, films (even the bad ones), imitating Neil from The Young Ones, nautical instruments, foxes, eating chocolate, anime, little umbrellas, everything exotic, freshly mowed grass and the smell of the air during a thunderstorm!"
