Sixty Day "Guilt Free Me Time" Challenge Day 4

Day 4 of 60...

Today for my Guilt-Free Me Time I went on a Woods Walk in search of the Wild Grape!

I love the tendrils of the Wild Grape vines. I collect them. I wear them in my hair. I give them as gifts.

Soon I will be wearing one as a wedding band.

One that's in the running...

My Love had reached out awhile back and chatted with a friend of ours about helping make this idea of mine a reality.

She is an artist who plates nature's little bits with copper and silver as one of her many talents. She didn't feel her methods would be strong enough for a wedding band. She offered to look into finding someone to make a casting of one for us.

Well, she has gotten back ahold of us. She's found someone to do the casting and making of the ring. I need to send three grapevine tendrils to be considered.

...a hunting I did go!

...many treasures to be considered and tinkered with!

If your curious, I introduced them here.

Wow, the wooden bowl, here is my home sick moment of the day. 😭😏 this has gotten me thinking of lost items in memories. Im going to have to post about it soon.

I look forward to reading it. Living so far apart keeps us tied to only necessary conversation. I hope this changes this.

It already has brought us closer than before, even though its in form of comment instead of message its nice to have some back & forth thats for sure <3

Windows into one anothers worlds...

What a fun treasure hunt to go on!

Those wines in that top picture are incredible. They look like they are made from metal. Did you find any you liked for you ring?

I need to send three off to the caster.

I found only one that fit just right. I am working with others to make them a slightly different size. I also grabbed some longer straighter ones to design my own as a trial.

I prefer the wild art, but it will be meaningful no matter how it works out!

Thanks for updating me @borrowedearth. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. It's such a lovely project! 😊

I see these on my walks and have never thought about collecting them and displaying together. They are lovely. Thank you for showing me something I have looked right over before and now I will be enjoying more. I thing this would be a perfect treasure hunt.

So happy to hear my beloved lil bits of nature have inspired you!

Happy hunting! Who knows what you may find now that you are looking!

The contents of my pockets at the end of the day would give any young child's a run for the prize!! Haha
