Fall days and Touch Wood Rings

Fall is floating her paintbrush over the aspen leaves and willows, and it has begun.
October on the meadow. Our favourite time of year.

We took time away from the homestead in September. David was scheduled for a long awaited back surgery. We were gone quite a bit longer than we anticipated but we are so pleased with the outcome of what appears to have been a very successful surgery. And we are very happy to be home on the meadow again. The big city is a tad overwhelming to us these days, even though I lived there for more than a decade in my twenties and thirties...

Here are some photos of rings that David has created over the past few months and a few pics of fall days on the meadow.

A wood ring proposal

" Meg was completely surprised by the wood ring, which was fantastic. She of course had the ring she had commissioned for me, and was already in love with it. She told me that she had kept trying on my ring and thinking how wonderful it was. So when I was able to give her her own wooden ring she was speechless. It was a fabulous moment.

I had long been keen on the idea of a wood ring (I happened across the idea years ago when I was looking for a wooden belt buckle.) Then, after years of carrying the notion around in my head, I finally got my own beautiful wood ring!
We’re both enthralled with the rings. They’re beautiful and exquisitely made. The craftsmanship is remarkable! Thanks so much for the all the assistance. It was really a pleasure to work with you through this process."
