An Inspiring Week!

8/13/2012

Bruno and I had a fun and eventful week!

He got a new toy from me, a teal plush bone from me that has I’m kind of a big deal stitched on it!
The heat wave is St. Louis subsided, so he spent lots of time on the back deck enjoying the outdoors, too.

I went to the St. Louis Collage Club meeting Wednesday and WaxCentric member meeting Saturday.

This weekend, I took advantage of the cooler weather, too, to see the Lantern Festival at the
Missouri Botanical Garden.

In addition to the 26 amazing lantern scenes, there were numerous artisans creating straw pictures, sugar drawings, seal engravings, pictographic dragon and phoenix calligraphy, pearl engraving, and Jianzhi (paper cutting).

So much inspiration!!

Have a great beginning to your week!

Bruno looks just so very sweet! I love the pictures you shared from the Lantern Festival, the boat made from reused bottles is incredible!

Bruno is awesome Mary, Love his new toy...adorable!! For years I went to the lantern festival in Vancouver, they also had a parade of the lost soul at Halloween!! So much creativity there, we loved it!! Since they changed the area they have it, the numbers dwindled!!

I LOVE that photo of Bruno and his new toy - you should share this at Friendship Friday, we are featuring our PETS this week! :-)

The Lantern Festival sounds like so much fun too - hope you are having a fabulous weekend!
