The Sweltering Days of June.....

It's been awhile, so I'm back with a quick update on all things Nomad. It's been sweltering hot here in the North Carolina mountains, which is unusual for this time of year. Perhaps that accounts for the lethargy I've been experiencing! No worries, I'm back in the saddle, gearing up with more fun new Nomad pieces this week.

Sneak peek - coming this week is the Rosy Blush wire wrapped drop necklace! ------------>

Other happenings:

Mr. Nomad has been laid up with a bad back for the last couple of days. No fun at all, and this has really put a damper on his running schedule! We're both hoping for speedy healing....... (Yes, our 40's can be less than fun.)

We've gotten out on the trail a few times (though not as much as we'd like). It's so heavenly to have the summer vegetation back! It's hard to imagine that five months from now all the glorious green will be gone....

Our garden is already giving up some of its bounty - on the menu tonight is freshly harvested zucchini and spinach! We've been enjoying the spinach and mesclun greens for a while now - yum. Five varieties of tomato are plumping up out there - I can't wait for fresh tomatoes, fresh off the vine and still warm from the sun. Mmmmmm......

Business news: Mr. Nomad and I are working on creating a new line of pieces, possibly for the supply shop we've been planning for a while. Top secret stuff for now - but stay tuned! I'll eventually get around to creating more of the silver pieces I love so much, but the aforementioned lethargy has kept me from it recently. Well, that and keeping up with relisting items in the shop, and local gallery orders.

Well, that's about all the news on this end for now. Stay cool out there folks!

Peace,

The Nomad
