Morning Spruce Arrives

SHOP WORKSHOPS ABOUT

Morning Spruce

Inspired by the tall spruce behind my barn, this color reflects the hush between night and day. In the early morning the spruce is dark and shadowed. Then the light shifts. Slowly, green begins to surface from within the branches. Not flashy, not sudden rather a steady unveiling.

Morning Spruce captures that quiet emergence. Deep evergreen along the edges, luminous at its heart, like first light threading through needles. It’s a grounded, steady color. Rooted in winter and leaning toward spring. A reminder that the day is already on its way.

It carries the calm strength of evergreens that stand through every season, holding their color even when the world feels gray.

Morning Spruce Necklace

brings a deep, lively green to the season, dark and mysterious at first glance, then glowing softly as it catches the light. In necklace form, it rests right where the light loves to land, revealing flashes of green with every movement. It’s rich without feeling heavy, a color that pairs easily with everything from cozy knits to early spring linen. A little piece of evergreen light to carry with you into the season ahead.

I’m excited to introduce a new style that will now be available with every Color Drop: Petite Pendants. These sit right between my tiny Candy Drops and the Classic Necklace in scale.

Each fused dichroic glass Petite Pendant stone is set with a simple bail and paired with an 18" black silicone cord with a secure tension clasp. Lightweight and easy to wear.

A size comparison: Candy Drops (right) are the tiniest spark of color, while the new Petite Pendants (left) offer just a bit more glow.

Morning Spruce Petite Pendant

brings a little evergreen glow right to the collarbone. At first glance the color feels deep and shadowy, then the light catches it and a lively green begins to shine through.

Set with a simple bail and worn on an 18" black silicone cord, it’s an easy, everyday piece that lets the color do the talking. Small, bright, and full of quiet sparkle—like a little flash of spruce needles catching the morning light.

Alison’s work is beautiful and compelling. Strangers often compliment me on her necklaces when I’m wearing them. I love visiting her shop on Vinalhaven Island, but the website is easy to navigate and see the many colors she works with. ~ Kathy J.

A few creations from last week’s workshop — every piece started as simple bits of glass and turned into something uniquely its maker’s own. The next workshop is Saturday, March 28th, and I’d love to have you join us.

When I was ten, my Pepère built me a dollhouse modeled after Little House in the Big Woods. The most magical structure -a tiny house made entirely by his hands for mine.

It has traveled with me through every chapter of my life. Different homes. Different seasons. For a few years it even lived with friends’ children and knew the sound of play again. Eventually it returned to my small home and took up residence inside.

And there it sat.

Beautiful. Meaningful. And … quietly collecting dust!

In a small house, every surface matters and loving something doesn’t always mean keeping it where it’s always been. So I packed the tiny furniture into a project box (perhaps it will become a book nook in my library someday), carried the dollhouse outside, and set it in the garden.

And I love it there.

Spring has a way of teaching this lesson: sometimes letting go isn’t about losing something. Sometimes it’s simply about placing it where it can breathe.

From a recent wander on Lane’s Island: mossy granite (do you see the face?, winter shadows dancing on the snow, and Geege enjoying the view.

If this week’s color speaks to you, you can see what’s available here.
