Granola Time!

Although the heat is not really letting up... I am determined to continue on with my Autumn activities...like making nourishing soups and homemade granola...having the oven on today was not so fun but I made my granola and added some extras to this recipe Homemade Granola This time around I used cashews instead of walnuts and added dried blueberries instead of raisins! total granola bliss! Enjoy!

Autumn White Bean Soup

A wonderful dear friend of mine recently posted this white bean soup recipe on her website... andrearussell.com I made a few changes only because I do not have access to everything in the recipe here in Japan. I added spinach instead of kale and I roasted my garlic and added more than what this recipe calls for...because I love garlic! I also added a bit of fresh rosemary from my garden. The soup is total bliss! Enjoy!

The Flaming Pearl

An early 40th birthday present for myself...because every woman deserves these types of gifts. A wonderful woman named Pamela Pollock designs gorgeous jewelry! I met her online during a mandala webinar with our teacher Julia Weaver about a year ago. Just recently I went on a trip to America to see family and friends... while there I was on the search for a nice piece of jewelry ....I came back to Japan with many things but not that special piece of jewelry.When I returned to Japan and started paying attention to facebook land again my friend Pamela posted these gorgeous rings! And that was it! My 40th birthday ring! Had to have it! So this is where you can find her lovely work TheFlamingPearl.etsy.com please take some time and check out her work! I am totally in love with my new ring!

Full Moon Creations

Still waiting for our Autumn weather to blossom here in Japan...it's been a long Summer heat and October starts tomorrow. It is unusually hot for this for this time of year and it has been hard to focus on my Fall gardening but I have been doing my very best with planning and preparing.

I have also been creating something new that I am getting ready to offer the world. Daily Mandala Inspiration cards! More information will be released about these little treasures.... but here is a sneak peak ....take note these photos are not the finished work..just a taste of whats to come:-)
