Miracle painting by Seattle artist.

This blog post is for my husband but I think it's more important for me.

Couple days ago I found that there is an interesting oily spots under one of his painting. In Russia we call this "Mirotochenie icon" It is very special it's like blessing.

I was making researches and I can confirm that it's not from condensation or smoking (in one of the forum I got this idea). Me and my husband are non smokers. 

We got a TARO reading for this phenomena and now I need spread the word about this miracle.

Here is one of the photo and if you'd like to see more please visit Art by J.Trent Sunderland

Space Needle Restaurant

In the first PART of our review we gave some tips now time for the testy part.
My husband ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer….Damn they were good, got two and could have eaten a hundred! At the same time he got me a mudslide that was a dessert to start the meal, that man does not care about my hips! My husband ordered the Smashed Rye for his drink, let me tell you I liked his drink more and boy howdy it had some kick!
Of course there was bread, but let me tell you the flavored butters they came with were fantastic.

For our meal he ordered me fresh from the sound Salmon with asparagus and fingerling potatoes, while he made a scene in the restaurant by getting the whole fried Rockfish for himself, with wasabi mashed potatoes and lemon spinach.



My husband had lunch at the needle 20 years ago and was not impressed, this night was completely different, we both looked at the bill for $200.00 at the end of the evening and felt it was more than fair. Our waiter Fabio was from Brazil and was fantastic, welcoming and entertaining while always on top of it all! The food kicked booty and we walked away full and with a killer set of flavors in our mouths!



We capped the night off with local berry made iced teas, (yes the alcohol kind) and we split a warm chocolate drizzle cake with vanilla ice cream. The only hard part of the night was that it had to end. Kudos to the staff at the Space Needle for providing such an opportunity, take advantage of it yourself!

Christmas shopping rush

Be ready for Christmas rush

The Christmas rush is around the corner. Starting October and to the December it’ll be very busy days for those who sell handmade art on-line or at craft show. And it’s time to be ready. I went the other way, not regular. Usually I stock up with the right jewelry supplies, mailer, gemstones, scotch tape – you name it. Those who sell they good on-line for more than one – two years will easily understand me.

I decide to start with the good energy gathering. Leaving in Seattle you never know what kind of weather will be in the next hour. So I skipped this information early in the morning when the sky was grey and no sign of the lovely weather took my family and we run to the park and then to the beach. Lucky we everything is around the corner. Yost Memorial Park in Edmonds was the first stop. We were hunting mushrooms and wild berries (Don’t be scary – hunting was with my lovely photo camera).

After this little trip we became hunger and it was lunch time so we moved to the Edmonds Marina Beach. Home made barbecue chicken some salads and we are in fun games again. Love that place. Even it’s the end of September me and my baby were having fun playing in the water. And my dear husband did a great job making photos

After such a great day I got my energy for the next working week with my on-line shops. See you all at my on-line shops fine handmade jewelry MyWayToSay and jewelry supplies shop GreatSupplies

Gay pride parade 2009 in Seattle

Well I never expected this to happen on my 4th anniversary of arriving in USA, I celebrated with family and friends at Seattle’s gay pride parade. If somebody had told me about this show several years ago, I would have told “NEVER will I go there! ” So life is constantly changing and you never know what you will do in the future.
We got a spot in the shade and after the first hour we were cold, but we never thought to go home.
It was the first parade which was so long for me; it was from 11 till 2 pm … Can you guess how many people were there? We saw clowns (not sad or happy, more the freaky kinky type) we saw fun floats and lots of companies who offered support to the community. OK there were a few nude people and some kink too, but mostly what we saw were people letting their hair down and have fun in the sun!
Coming from another country I was not prepared for what I saw, but I found myself simply caught up in the fun. Plus watching our daughter and friends dancing and laughing was just contagious and inspiring, more than I expected and a great time was had by all. My husband took some great photos while we cut loose, so here are a few to share a great day with you!

My Hubby is back with ETSY

Yes - and I'm very happy. We finally have time for some trips around Seattle. The last trip was Pacific Science Center. We love this place. Our little one always have fun there communicated and playing with other kids. One of our favorite place is . So the last photos in Jayson's shop is for those who like nature.

The best surprise for him was that he sold 3 prints as soon as he return to Etsy - WOHOO

OUR LOVE STORY

Well the other day we were sitting and remembering the story of our family. And I thought that it'll be interesting to share with you - my dear friends ... So I asked my Hubby to Wright it ! It came a bit long - although he was trying to make it short as possible - but we will make several part - so come back later to see the end of the story.

Seattle - Russia – Dzerzhinsky

Spring of 2003 there was but a bit of time to kill by chatting with friends online, but sometimes that is all the opening fate needs. When taking a small amount of time to help someone turns into a lifelong passion, is it fate, is it chance, is it karma, or is it love?
I was keeping in touch with friends I had met overseas online when a message asking for help with English came across my screen. Sure…what the heck, why not? I did not know this person, not even whether this person was male or female. Just that they needed help, help turned to chat with what I found to be a woman halfway around the world, and then chat turned to friendship. Two and half years later I found myself wondering where the time went, I was not even the type to talk to friends or family on a regular basis. Could it be more?
The only way to find out was to fly, to meet this intriguing woman from Russia. We met in person in August of 2005, it was a strange land, a strange language and yet it felt like home. She was everything all those words had created pictures of and the first days were inspiring, but it was the coming tests that showed what she would mean to me.
