Here are just a few ways to add handmade to your life without giving up the technology we all love

• Shop at your local Farm or Farmer Market
• Buy organic or local grown or made products
• Try to make something you always wanted to ( going to the library and looking in the craft DIY section  usually has  a lot of books on different subjects it is a great place to start)
• Ask friends and family or even look in your favorite magazines for new recipes and then have fun in the kitchen
• Take a class at your local yarn, pottery, bead, or fabric store
• Shop at online handmade market place like Etsy
• Grow some herbs in a bright windowsill
• Grab a camera and start taking pictures of things that inspire you or least make you smile
• Visit local craft fairs, especially around the holiday season
• Restore /Repurpose  items found at flea and vintage markets
• Buy bread and baked goods from your local bakery

I have been reading a blog that a lovely jewelery designer writes call Makeunder My Life.  Jess like I believes  in living a simpler life  and really examining what you have and what you can get rid of. She recently asked readers to apply for a Dream Reporter someone to post once a week on how they are acheiving a personal goal. I applied but I wasn’t chosen  but she asked if she could share my story.

If you are trying to reach your dream, designing intentions or just want to see how other accomplish their dreams I strongly recommend that you start reading her blog.   Jess also makes some stunning jewelry too.   To read my story Teri\’s Designed Life

Sorry for my lack of post the past the past week or so. I have been really sick, and on top of that had my housewarming party this past weekend. So any energy I had went to doing just enough to pull that off. I hope to be back in action in a few days.  I never understood the sick as a dog phrase, since my dog is never sick she is lazy and like to sleep alot especially when she has some pillows to rest her head on.

As some of my loyal readers of  Finding inspiration know, I recently bought a home in Salem Massachusetts. I love this city for it historic preservation

The Witch House:

This house is the only standing building that has direct ties to the Salem Witch Trials in 1692. The house was beleived to be built in the mid 1600′s. It belonged to one of the judges Jonathan Corwin that sentenced 20 people to death accused of being a witch and performing witchcraft, The building is no longer in it orginal location and was restored to look like it did back in 1692. Now the Witch House is a museum.
