Somewhere ....

A shaft of light caught my eye on the kitchen wall ..

I gasped ...

My very own rainbow!

It must have been a sign ...
Eliza's friend Ava wrote her a little love note today:

"Your smile makes feel like I'm dancing on a rainbow"

Wow! Aren't they gorgeous words from a 10 year old.

Rainbows 2

At home, the little girl has her own box of rainbows.

(Secretly, I love them more than she does).

I always wanted a box of derwents when I was a little girl.

I still do.

I love the name of the colours stamped in white on each pencil.

Copper beech
Imperial purple
Orange chrome
Crimson lake
May green

I love the way they smell when they've been freshly shapened ...
and the way the shavings fall in curly woody waves.
When I use them I don't care if I go outside the lines.
