I'm home refreshed, relaxed and filled to the brim with contentment. My trip to Seattle and Vancouver was yummy. I enjoyed every moment with my boys, exploring Seattle, visiting family in Canada and spending time in one of my most favorite places on Vancouver Island.Those of you who have followed my blog for a while now, know that I love Point No Point on Vancouver Island, Canada.
Before going to Canada, I spent about 4 days in Seattle. One of my favorite things to do there is to go to the Fremont Street Faire which is held every Sunday. I found some treasures there including the antique doll arms above which I made into bracelet displays by adding the linen arms....love them. Okay some of you may think they are macabre...but I find them charming.
"Ivy" also came home with me. She was tucked away with some other dolls in a basket and when I saw her bright green eyes and cute face, I knew she had to keep me company in my studio.
Jumping ahead....I visited an antique military store in Victoria and purchased several British military medals to incorporate into my designs....love the crowns and castles!!

So, let me bore you with some photos of my trip.
~wonderful food at Rebar in Victoria~
~Welcoming bench at Pt. No Pt on Vancouver Island~
As I walked, tears welled up in my eyes, tears of joy, tears of remembrance of those so dear that I once shared this magical place with now gone, tears of happiness to be here once again to a place my soul feels so at home. 
A familiar awakening fills me with light, fills me with love, fills me with clarity of mind.
This place is certainly where the Gods first stepped on earth.
Sacred wellsprings of being.
Mist surrouned us everyday, the sun eluded us....but still fairies crept in on the feet of mist.

This place is certainly one of the hearts of the world.

~Welcoming bench at Pt. No Pt on Vancouver Island~We arrived at Pt. No Pt. in the early evening, too late for me to walk upon the paths I hold so enduring. The next morning while the boys slept, I crept out on my own, my soul yearning to step foot on the sacred ground.

Your photos are so beautiful, and immediately struck a chord in me as a reminder of my recent trip to Maine, as far west as you can get, but exactly the same your photos with the mist and the forest, and ....the frame of mind.
Drooling over those medals!
I can tell a trip like this renews your heart!
Looks like it is really a very magical place - great photos! LOVE the bracelet displays you made out of the doll arms. And Ivy is just lovely - what eyes!
Congrats on your article in BAJ!
This place that is called Point No Point on Vancouver Island looks magical. I can feel it in your photos. That there would be a place so close to your heart without your living there is a shame.
So nice to see a photo of your boys. It's a wonderful picture and reflects how much you love them and the area.
If I felt this way about a place it seems like some choices would be made to live there. You are a long way from the faries and beauty that is so northwest....
welcome home!
glad to hear you had a wonderful trip, and i love the doll arms!
Your photos are just fantastic! Thank you for posting!
Point no Point looks like a beautiful spiritual place. I would like to visit there sometime. You captured it with your photos, and I enjoyed seeing the picture of your boys. Have a lovely day. Lorrie
What lovely photos! I'm so glad you had an enjoyable time up North. Point No Point looks to be a lovely place to visit.
Welcome home!
Wonderful images!
And I don't find your doll parts macabre at all, I love that sort of stuff.
Have a great Tuesday!
Hugs,
Anne
I adore the bracelet arm displays, they are perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Stunning Diana. I am glad you had a great time in Canada.

What breath taking pictures, Diana...thank you for sharing, as I've never been there (but now know I'd love to one day!). What a special trip - visiting places that are dear to your heart and remembering your loved ones, and also spending time with your boys. Ah, life couldn't be any better!
