Greek Folk Dancing

Tomorrow we are off to FDF 2011-a Greek Folk Dance competition in Ontario CA. Each year 100's of kids get together for 'Faith, Dance & Fellowship' while competing for the gold in Greek Dancing and Singing. The handmade costumes are amazing and the performances bring tears to your eyes as you realize the culture and traditions that have been passed down through 100's of years. These pictures  are some of our dancers  in San Diego.

 Best of luck to all of the St. Spyridon dance and choral groups!

Happy Valentines Day!

My wonderful husband dug through our spoons and made this for me...

I hope you all have a great day!

Vintage Baby Spoon Pendants

Yesterday I was contemplating cutting a pair of sterling baby spoons.One of them had had a little trip down the garbage disposal and had some issues! If my plan didn't work out, I wouldn't feel too bad!

Happily-I was able to flatten and stamp the two spoons with children's initials and birth dates.

I even made myself  a pair of earrings! I buffed some of the garbage disposal 'dings' out but actually liked the marks left behind-it added character and showed they were well loved.
