Trying to Escape the Winter Blues & RELAX

Another day, another snow storm. It seems like that is the frequency of snow storms this winter. As an escape from the dull grey skies and snowy, icy streets, I transported myself to the Caribbean...kind of! Really, I just created this Etsy treasury, full of wonderful findings from other artists on Etsy.


This collection brought my back to my belated honeymoon with Anthony, last year in St. Croix. It was the best trip EVER, and my first time in the Caribbean. Anthony looked at me on day #1 of our vacation and said "This is the most relaxed I have ever seen you!" It was true. I was instantly relaxed....in a perfect paradise.
I bought this wonderful bracelet when I was there from a Cruzan jewelry artist and shop, IB designs http://www.islandboydesigns.com/ . I met the artist the day I bought it, which added to the charm of the bracelet. I wear the bracelet almost every day as a reminder to take myself back to that relaxing place and not to sweat the small stuff.

Bring on the snow (blizzard, actually)...I am relaxed (or trying to)!
