I found this little piece of flat rusty metal on the beach at Trefor on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales and thought the blue of the three Welsh mussel shells went well with the rusty texture. The text in the background is from a medieval script (in Welsh) of the ancient tale of Taliesin, who was given that name after being rescued from the ocean as a baby.
The fanciful arrangement on the right never existed, it was created in Photoshop using my Mirror action from this photo of a heap of rubber bands.

Walked around my house about 20 minutes and found these leaves
Shame I know only a few of the names of these leaves.
Molly knows exactly what to do when she sees a ghost: RUN FOR IT!!!
This Blythe doll is Mod Molly wearing a dress I made. I decided to put this scene together as a flat lay so I could make her hair fan out behind her to add to the feeling of movement. Day 27 of 31 Days of Halloween.
I received an assortment of clothes and accessories for Candy and Brandy for Christmas. 💕💚❤️
When my hubby ordered a few things for gifts before Christmas, and asked me what I wanted, I added to his order this assortment of clothing for these two. We considered that our 5-day bus tour in early December was part of our Christmas gifts to each other. So I picked something small and Amazon is a good place to order hard-to-find clothing to fit these 6 inch (20 cm) little dolls. 💚🎄❤️

September 26 is National Johnny Appleseed Day!
From nationaldaycalendar.com
NATIONAL JOHNNY APPLESEED DAY
On National Johnny Appleseed Day, we honor the man who made apple (and pear) trees grow heavy with the bounty of their fruit across most of this country. On September 26, we commemorate the day of his birth and celebrate his legendary wit, wisdom and enduring story.
In Fort Wayne, Indiana in Johnny Appleseed Park there is a grave marking the spot where the legendary sower of apple seeds rests. He was born John Chapman on September 26, 1774, in Leominster, Massachusetts to Nathaniel and Elizabeth Simons Chapman. Not much is known about his early life other than his mother died when he was two. His father packed up Johnny and his sister (an infant brother had died the previous year) and moved to Springfield, Massachusetts. His father served as a Minuteman and fought at Bunker Hill.
Then in 1797, Chapman shows up in northwestern Pennsylvania propagating his apple seeds and working his way steadily into the frontier of West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and eventually as far west as Illinois and Iowa and as far north as Michigan and Wisconsin.
In his wake, he left orchards and the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish spiritual leader whose books he would buy with whatever payment he might receive for his endeavors. In turn, Johnny would give the books away as he traveled and planted.
Mostly, though, he planted his seeds and seedlings for free along with his wisdom, his broad-brimmed pasteboard hat keeping the sun from his eyes as he went. Often shoeless, he traveled mostly by foot and sometimes by horseback or canoe. His appearance was nearly as noteworthy as his accomplishments, but so was his kindness. There was always a place at the table if Johnny Appleseed were to come visiting.
There are many stories told that the man would travel many miles to nurse an ailing orchard when word would reach him of its poor condition. Bringing the trees back to health would be his chief endeavor while dispersing wisdom, care and kindness as he did.
Across the Midwest, landmarks pepper the countryside honoring the man that brought fruit to the frontier. Warren County, Pennsylvania lays claim to Johnny Appleseed’s first tree nursery.
Mansfield, Ohio honors the man with a monument in South Park.
In his hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts there is an entire park named after the man who nurtured the land and made apple trees bloom across a young nation.
Johnny Appleseed Day is celebrated on either March 11th or September 26th. The September date is Appleseed’s acknowledged birth date. The March date is sometimes preferred due to the planting season. While there is some vagueness concerning Appleseed’s death and burial, it is known he became ill in early March and passed soon after.
HOW TO OBSERVE
As the fruit ripens on these autumn days, savor a deliciously sweet apple and use #JohnnyAppleseedDay to post on social media.
Recently I did one of my regular trips to our local artisan chocolate maker in the next village and the designs on the tablet looked so nice I got inspired to take a photo of them: one milk chocolate, one dark.
We are now actively engaged in the process of eating them!

It’s time to put together some cute Halloween-inspired outfits to wear in October. Lilac has made her choices, have you?
This Blythe doll is Simply Lilac, posing for the theme “Flat Lay” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. These outfits will be appearing on some of my dolls soon! The fun bags were made by Angie Coppi. I made the three dresses not on the doll.

The old 10-franc “Voltaire” note was in circulation in France between the beginning of 1964 and the end of 1973. It is the note I’ve always liked best, æsthetically.
Together with some solid silver 10-franc and 50-franc coins from the 1960s and 70s.

April 14th - Gardening Day
Seedlings ready to be transplanted ...
Last Night I made a spicy Korean dish with Chicken Legs. The ingredient that gives it the spice level is called Gochujang and it is a fermented red pepper paste. I also made some turmeric infused basmati rice.
OK, there's a pie missing ... I couldn't wait. 😋
Another recipe following retired chef, John Kirkwood.
Sometimes it's fun to pick items all on a single colour theme with just a little complementary-coloured accents. Flat-lays are the ideal layout for this and are much easier to compose for than the three-dimensional still lifes.

Psyche (Asian Butterfly) spends her mornings in the garden chasing butterflies and other winged creatures. She was named after the mythological wife of Eros (Cupid) who is sometimes depicted in ancient art as having butterfly wings. Psyche is the Greek word for soul or spirit.

A friend came over and joined us for dinner last night. I know he likes fettuccini alfredo so that's what he got.
New clearance flowers. $1.99 for a bouquet of these lovely charmelia flowers to play with and enjoy. Practiced a little HDR on the lightbox today. I try to challenge myself to improve or learn something new as often as possible. I feel like perhaps the image is a little flat, thoughts on how to improve it? Thanks for visiting and joining me on my 365 journey. Have a lovely day whatever you may be doing.
