As much as it is enjoyable, and as much as we love it, creative work is quite draining, so some rest is important too....and taking the summer off to explore hobbies sounds like a great idea. My husband suggested that I take summer off too. I had a few job changes since we last spoke, the last job I did was as a learning assistant for a child with special needs. I signed a two month contract with the Ministry that ended in June and now I'm looking for a new job but I might also take it a bit easier this summer.<br /><br />I didn't know that the largest amber mine was in Russia. That amber piece you showed is so beautiful. Such a great find! I need to browse eBay and etsy for vintage pieces some time too! I love the striped outfit you paired that vintage soviet necklace with. I love the art deco vibes. The second outfit with the dress is lovely as well. <br /><br />How fun you had a great a surprise activity day with your daughter. That seems like such an amazing family tradition. It is nice your mother used to do the same thing too. We never do forget those little things our parents did for us, did they? My parents took us everywhere with them when we were little. My mother explained it was because they had to (since the grandparents lived someplace else) but it was still fun being taken to all sorts of places. <br /><br />It was a pleasure seeing all of those outfits. I'm not surprised your red outfit got cheers, it's gorgeous...the ruffles on the gingham top are so feminine and chic and I do like the red skirt as well. The crow art statue you're posing by is gorgeous. I'm fascinated by crows. They are very intelligent birds. Here the American/Canadian crows are an invasive species and they can be a bit aggressive (maybe because it is not natural habitat). My husband yelled at a flock of North American crows that lives near our home and they got really upset about it, did all sorts of revengeful things (you wouldn't believe it) but I managed to make peace with them as I'm very good with birds. All is well that ends well. Thank you for sharing all of this, the artist who made that crow statue is very talented.Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-74051113162868926362019-07-03T12:32:32.678-07:002019-07-03T12:32:32.678-07:00Thank you, my dear Monica!

I started developing a deeper interest in jewelry than before, but I wouldn't say it's a collection yet, maybe the very beginning of it. I have a few pieces of traditional Russian jewelry (hand-painted enamel, gorgeous metal work (filigree), wooden jewelry etc.), and this is the only new-to-me pendant with an amber that I got as a gift for my birthday. But it would be great to form a collection some day! :) <br /><br />Glad that you're having fun with Sarah, time with our kids is so precious! <3Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-71740975057429439812019-06-23T14:58:38.431-07:002019-06-23T14:58:38.431-07:00Thank you so much, dear Vix!
