Got a mahjong last night at a pretty spot where they had fancy drinks. Gotta take the W when you get one! 🀄️🍹
Bought a few jars of vintage gemstones at an antique shop in Maine and as a miniaturist it’s been really fun sorting them! What would you make with them? 💎
Learning miniature pottery this week in Maine with some of the most talented miniaturist artisans from around the world at International Guild School of Miniature Artisans!
I weeded a nearby overgrown garden and was rewarded with the most beautiful orange flowers in return!Brought one inside and she looks glorious in the morning sunlight: butterfly milkweed. Happy the butterflies can get to these flowers now! 🥰🦋🧡
I love learning, expanding my playlist and hearing new music. It’s one of the reasons the misogyny, bullshit condescension in the FB gatekeeping smackdown was annoying. Turning people away doesn’t build bridges it burns them—what’s the point? But I changed my Spotify list just for you. 🫶⛵️🕊️
I’m doing some caretaking at this beautiful property here in Maryland with a perfect crab shack. The waterfront cottage is for rent on VRBO too! If anyone wants info on it, leave a comment and I’ll send the link. Truly beautiful sunsets! 🌅🦀
Wishing everyone a very Happy Pride! Reminder: studies show homophobia is linked to closeted homosexuality… so we may see a lot of self-outings this month - why else would all the fabulous gay posts be in their algorithms? 🤔😂 Happy Pride to ALL! 🏳️🌈🌈✨🦄🥳🧡
Thrilled to return to the tiny island I adore in the Chesapeake Bay- my muse- to finish my memoir. 🥹🌊🦀
It’s my birthday today! I’m 57. I just learned to play Mahjong, so I am acquiring quality elder skills in addition to being a candlemaker and miniaturist 🥰 (don’t look at that hand, I still have no idea what I’m doing) 🀄️😂.
Tried Mahjong for the first time tonight WOW that shit is a deadly serious situation; I was not prepared to feel that stupid 🀄️🤣🤦🏻♀️.
Just played it for like half an hour because I saw it on Maddow- hysterical! The “Weak on Crime Pope” using the “Catholic Guilt” weapon cracked me up! 😂😂😂
Excellent article worth reading- sorry for X link, but it’s a Gift Article link that was posted there. x.com/anneapplebau... @anneapplebaum.bsky.social
I lost my mom in January so this day is a little different now. Sending hugs to anyone else having a tough day. ❤️🩹
