Cyber Monday/Meatless Monday

Hi Kids, I wanted to say thank you for following along with my blog, and in celebration of cyber Monday I wanted to offer you 10% off on everything in the Gilding Lilies Shop. Just use the coupon code "Holidays2011". Happy shopping!
Now, for the meatless part. I wanted to let all the local veggies that the Caspar Community Center has an amazing breakfast on the fourth Friday of the month, and to make it even better they always serve a vegan option, hooray! I went yesterday, and it was so delicious! I can't wait for next month. Next time, I'm taking my camera, because it really was a feast for the eyes, as well as the mouth.

Happy Holiday Weekend

Stocking stuffer alert! So, here are the gift items that I added to the shop today.  I think these little magnets turned out really well. I'm especially fond of the positive word group - love, personal growth, and blooming into the best we can be - I like the idea that maybe a magnet can draw those things towards us.  I'll have more to share with you soon.

Small Gifts

Tis almost the season, so I have been working on creating some small gift items (great stocking stuffers too) for the Gilding Lilies Shop. I'm really happy with the way these bookmarks turn out. I'll have more little gifts to share with you really soon. If you would like to purchase my bookmarks they can be found here.

Not The Average Meatless Monday Recipe - Flax Seed Curling Gel

I have a riot of long red curls. Some days they are beautiful, but on a bad hair day...Well, you get the idea. With that much volume it can get a bit crazy and frizzy. The other day I came across a recipe for a Flax Seed Curling Spray, and I decided to give it a try, and I really like it! You bring one cup of water to a boil, then you reduce the heat to a simmer, and add 2 tablespoons on flax seeds. Simmer for 10 minutes, then drain the seeds out of the gel that has formed. Next time, I'm going to try putting the seeds in a cheese cloth pouch so that I don't have to strain it. Allow it to cool, and pour it into a bottle. You can keep it for about a week in the fridge.
To use it, just pour a small amount of the gel into your hands, rub it around, and apply to damp hair. Style as usual. It feels healthy, soft, and not at all "crunchy". It really helps the curls get along, stay together, and fights frizz. Good stuff!

Enjoy your weekend.

Homage To Andrew Wyeth

I have always loved Andrew Wyeth's paintings. My mother introduced me to his work when I was a young girl, and I can remember spend a great deal of time looking at his work, enthralled with the color palette, detail, and the lovely simplicity of his compositions. After taking this photograph it instantly reminded me of his work, and with some tweaking, it was even closer. So, this is my humble homage to an artist, I have loved, for as long as I can remember.
