captured in a silent voice and a blurred lens

Instagram...communication through random snapshots of the moment and the story behind it.

thank you for the unexpected

as one quickly puts something on the back burner and then kinda forgets that she (me) really did put something on the back burner and then lost it. not just buried under a stack of papers. not just buried in a text message that is so far up the cue that yeah, does one ever look that far up in a conversation. and finally not just buried in an e-mail and one that was't deleted whether on purpose or not. but frankly just lost.

but today (well a couple of days ago now) one of those things lost on one of those back burners came back to say hello..i'm here!

context here: as hubby dearest was at the airport waiting for his flight when he noticed something that he had helped to make (he does all of the gluing for me but we can wait for this story another day).

there he was seeing moving across the large screen was art from the GNWT Micro Business SEED Program (Support for Entrepreneurs and Economic Development) funding.

context here: i know that one evening i had been called to the basement of the museum on a very cold and wintery day to have photos taken by the NWT Arts Council. so off i went with sprinkles on my cheeks and wearing my most favourite purple dress (i chose for the company an eggplant shade of purple, over time this colour has definitely toned down).

against a blaring white background i had pictures taken of me from front ways, side ways, pretending to hold something, actually holding something and then all the way down to my faerie going through the same flurry of shots here are 4 photos of us.

back to what hubby had found..

as my iPhone beeped telling me that i had a new message and there was me! me on the big screen (so to speak)!

context here: hubby was sending me picture after picture..and then i called to ask if they could be larger, be smaller, be sharper...

in the end i was amazed at the amazing job under the circumstances as from my understanding the photos were in an exchange style of transition so catching the different photos was quite the challenge.

so here you go, me, well at least Aurora of the Northern Line of Faeries on the big screen.

hmmm,

memories?
memories?

i'm really starting to think that they actually do go poof, memories that is.

glancing through my last few blog postings, did i just dream that i had written to you that i was going to start to do a blog posting along with updating either/both 'the thought' and 'the photo' tabs? huh, looks like i might have but i just can't find it.

even though these photo and quotes might not have anything to do with the nursery, faeries, flowers, or pretty things in general, i'm starting to think that i'm just doing things that happens to suits my fancy of that day. everything that just seems to pop into my noggin is what i share with you. not too sure if this exactly what i should be doing here, here on the blog, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the list goes on but it sure suits me.    :)

i'm thinking that i want to change the title of blog:
journal? nah, too formal.
diary? nah, too much like i'm hiding it in-between my mattresses.
notebook? nah. i think that there is a movie with this exact name.
chronicle? that so is not a nursery sounding title, so that is a resounding nah.
daybook? nope.
reminiscences? nope. as i don't figure that i will ever get to spell that word without the help of spellcheck that this one must become again, nope.
confession? well, nah.
memoir? getting way off topic here this isn't supposed to be about me but about faeries and the such, so nope.
calendar? 
daily?
note? 
observation? 
well, figure i just might have to do a bit more research on this. how about i get back to you?  this thing about 'that fancy of the day' thing will kick in will help me chose the perfect title. since i absolutely love my saved to the desktop link 'thesaurus.com' i'm sure that i'll find a few more adjectives for titling this page.

okay, we have established that i have no memory. yes, we/you already know/knew that. but onto other topics. i have realized that 'the thought' page is up-to-date but then so far behind it's not funny.

okay, we have established that i have no memory. yes, we/you already know/knew that. but onto other topics. i have realized that 'the photo' page is so not up-to-date and that i really do have a lot of work to do,  like adding another 13 photos, to be exact, well as of this afternoon of Tuesday, August 11, 2015 @ 11:47 mdt. as i've been finding that i've been updating my Instagram account in the middle of the night, and that this is how i know that there will no more to share right now.

so i'm now off to do an update on 'the photo' tab so not only was this a weird blog post but it was about figuring out needs to be done to the tab pages, finding the perfect title for this action of writing and again that whole thing called 'memories'.

as with 13 photos there is no way that i am going to show them here, so do go and check out the photo's that i have/haven't share with you. if i happen to again fall behind, you can always find the latest pictures on the nursery's Instagram, Facebook and Flickr accounts.

be ready to be awed by my amazing talent, ha ha ha, of taking pictures and writing little snippets of poetry for them.

and well, that's it. i hope that all of your breathtaking memories bring a smile to your face today and tomorrow. as i know that mine do.

it's all about me & you, nah, it's all about me

as there always comes a time, when eventually you have to crater, to the questions and requests to see who i am...well okay, as me as the owner of The Enchanted Pathways Faerie Nursery, that you realize that perhaps it wouldn't be so bad after all.

i'll will chalk this whole hesitation thing up to, well thinking about it, for, that for some unknown reason that i just haven't been able to put a face on my company, on me. (yes, that reason being shyness. yeah, that excuse will work... but, okay, but those who know me, will tell you quite blatantly that i am anything but shy)

i will admit though that i have gotten better at talking about the company over the past bit instead of squirrelling away busy as a bee and keeping to myself.

has this hampered my business, YES, i can tell you that without a doubt that if you want to be noticed then it is a pretty hard sell when nobody has actually heard about or seen or met you!

with being a wife, a mom, a grandma (to 4 and currently counting) that i've always told myself that i am just being protect of those that i love but ummmm how is anyone going to know that type of personal information when i haven't even told you about it?

okay fine, i must admit, deductive reasoning makes sense when spoken (okay, typed) out loud and yes, that even shouting out from the rooftops, this type of noise can only help.

after much thought, a few cookies (a whole box to be exactly honest), a cup of tea or two (possibly more), i have come up with a history of this, this being the company and then this, this being me.

i really love what i put together but i really put a lot of hard work into it. (yeah, you can stop reading here...like i work hard...my job is in a faerie nursery how much harder can a job get?).

so all of this painstakingly work can be found on the website under the tab named 'about' (yeah, yeah, yeah, i know, how original is that for a tab name).

oh, and,

p.s. ..... it is amazing that how easy it becomes once you start talking about you, that it just becomes easier and easier to do so. (um, but then again who doesn't like to listen to themselves talk about themselves?)

the photograph that i have put on my website was taken in this same photo-op. a massive thank you goes out to Chris who took the time in the sweltering heat to help me out.

so yeah, here i am!

this is me!

this is me....hard at work!
