dream travel


it might be because it's spring. it might be because i'm working flat out 14 hour days making product to take to toronto. but i am longing to travel. even after a mild winter, newfoundland is slow to come back to life in the spring so march and april are the perfect months to go elsewhere. the money i make in toronto will be my sole income until the fall so i have to be frugal. but it's so tempting to just turn it into travel money...
my travel list includes vietnam, cuba (i can just "taste" the colour of those 2 places), new mexico (i've wanted to go there since i was 15 and fell in love with georgia o'keefe's painting and independence). and now i have internet friends who are luring me in with their exquisite photos. and last night i received an email from a woman i spoke with at the christmas one of a kind show who had travelled around the scottish islands and visited natural dyeing studios like shildasdair on the island of skye and i almost wept from wanting...

I love that photo - it looks like something you would see in a National Geographic magazine.
