Looking back on the good things of 2018 with gratitude today, and looking forward to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and fruitful 2019. As my friend Christie wrote so eloquently on my Instagram page – “moving into the year with our container of joy.” I love that. Cheers! posted by Veronica #mixedmedia #floral #happynewyear2019 @verolawlor

Today is Labor Day in the US, and it’s also harvest season. The two go hand in hand – without the labor there is nothing to harvest, and no one to do the harvesting! So thought I’d give some thanks today to all of those people who work hard in the fields to bring us […]
