salt lake city, emily, and blind pilot

i had a wonderful weekend in salt lake city!

olive was a fabulous co-pilot.

it was so fun having her along. i have always enjoyed doing these little trips alone, but she is the perfect companion.

saturday morning we went for a truly beautiful ski up mill creek canyon.

we took a break and had lunch at emily's friend melissa's cabin

(i loved the contrast of this green with everything frozen.)

emily's the greatest.

martha scanlon opened for blind pilot and she was amazing!

good ol' israel (and kati)

ryan

luke and ian

dave

i've never seen another band that seems to enjoy playing music together as much as these guys do. they smile at each other and laugh throughout the set. they just put out really great energy and every time i see them they get better.

at the end they invited martha up for another song.

and then i had a beautiful drive home...

i hope everyone is well!

the equipment fairy

my horoscope for the year, in my we'moon, said wonderful things about possibilities and generosity this year. one part of it was, "other people's resources will be generously available, from inheritances to bank loans; seriously consider using this support to establish a fresh and enduring base of operations during '08-'09." i had forgotten all about it until all these amazing things started happening for me, making everything possible for me to live my dream as a silversmith staying at home with my children.

shortly after our huge remodeling project was finished, another wonderful thing happened. i was "in the right place at the right time" (another lovely coincidence) and met sharon king. she just happened to have every tool i could ever need for my silversmithing, all top of the line, very high quality equipment, sitting in her garage gathering dust and needing a new home. after talking for a while, we agreed that she would VERY generously not only sell her equipment to me for a screamin' deal, but finance it as well. i now pay her a small monthly payment and my shop is 100% set up! (please see photos.) THANK YOU SHARON!!!
