I have found out something about myself recently.
I LOVE things that glitter and sparkle. Who knew?

Last Sunday when Ken and I were getting ready to take off for the day, I grabbed my camera. It was a cold morning and the morning dew was quite frosty, making the leaves and grass just sparkle with light.

It was SO pretty…..the field looked as if it were glass…glittery glass. Such a beautiful morning. It had me thinking about a few recent purchases that I had made.
It's no secret that I have some lovely spindles that I rarely use because I have never really enjoyed that process. I so enjoy looking at the spindles because most are made of beautiful woods. For me it has always been about the wood…until….

…these little lovelies made their way into the studio of The Woolen Rabbit. Now I will be straight up with you. Normally I would have looked at these spindles and maybe found them a bit garish…definitely not what you would expect to find here at all. So what happened?
Well a friend who enjoys leading me down the path of temptation had purchased one at SOAR. I looked at it and thought it was pretty but not my cup of tea. It wasn't until she gave it a whorl that I understood why she purchased it… the glitter….the sparkle was just amazing as it spun around and around. Like a beautiful fire fly.
Agghh….I knew I was sunk.
I took a few videos today to share some of my glitter with you……
I love watching these girls sparkle so much as they go round and round that I am actually using them! Who knew….. 🙂
You make me want to take up spinning.
About a gazillion years ago Imgot my first camera for Christmas. Soon after, we had one of those incredible frosts which left everything gilded with a layer of rime. I took a picture of trees behind the elementary school playground (black and white). I still have the picture and still love it! Jo

Very very cool. I’m still not sure that would be enough to make me spindle spin, though. You’ll be proud of me – I didn’t buy a spindle last weekend!

They are GORGEOUS!!! And the sparkle! It was exactly the same for me, my sparkly spindle only spoke to me after I saw it spin. I’m really glad I picked it up. I can’t wait to see that purpleheart in person!

You are so funny! You have a quiet little magpie living inside of you, that’s all. 🙂

Must admit, I am totally envious. If I made it back to Rhinebeck the Golding booth is the first place I’d go!
