international angel day
today is international angel day ~ the day before September 11.
I believe that angels exist ~ I know they exist. I collect vintage angels * I make angel dolls * I have angel books and angel cards * I am even going to an angel workshop in October
I have been wandering around my home today * taking photos of some of my angels :~
this is an angel that I bought a few years ago on ebay * poor little thing has a chipped nose ~ but I love the chipped and cracked in life ~ always
I bought this at an antique shop a few years ago and it hangs over a doorway to send angel blessings down as people leave my home
the angel above was made for me by a friend ~ made from a vintage quilt piece and teenie little gloves for wings ~ she made it for me the year I had cancer
and this one was bought for me by Joe ~ a vintage chalkware angel from Poland ~ he bought it at a garage sale for one dollar ~ it is just 'divine' I am surrounded by angels ~ we all are. even in blogging world, I feel I am surrounded by many angels ~ each of you is an angel to me
Peggy asked me to do a book thingie and I thought I would use my angel book ~ open the book to page 123 * scroll to the 5th sentence * post the next 3 sentences, the book title and author:
ok ~ here goes: earth angels by Doreen Virtue ( I know some of you don't like her)
"and since we can only feel happy and fulfilled if we're engaged in our purpose, then it's necessary for Wise Ones to open and redevelop their spiritual gifts. The wise ones have a special affinity with the elemental kingdom and vice versa. Not only do fairies and elves play a role in earth based spiritual practices but deep friendships were forged between the elementals and wise ones"
of course, that will make absolutely no sense to anyone at all ~ I guess you need to read the whole chapter.

I love all your angels! How sweet! xoxo
Oh your Angels are lovely! I like the chalkware one best, and as you know I am a big Doreen Virtue fan, I would love to see some pics of the Angel dolls you make.xx
Love all your angels and this is such a nice post. It's a wonderful thing to imagine being surrounded by angels. I need to think about that more often.
Thanks for tagging me. I'll do it some time today. I just woke up...haven't even had coffee yet. Had to start my day with Ms. Robyn. :)
Your angels are so sweet! I totally believe in angels and faeries. I'm sure you are familiar with Sophy Burnham's books on Angels!
Lovely post Robyn and your angel collection is such a wonderful thing to surround yourself with. I, too, believe there are spirit angels and faeries that surround us....problem is I lose sight of that some times. thank you for the reminder to BELIEVE more.
tag, hmmm, I grabbed a book here in my studio I have out to read. I will post my tag in the morning since I already blogged today.it will be a good way to start the week.
I love your angels -- especially the one with a chip on her nose!
I have angels in my home, too; most of them are ones I painted on big canvasses.
Explanation about why I don't like Doreen Virtue anymore: I have her very first angel card deck which I love. She was fine at first, but, for me, she got carried away by her celebrity. She arrived in Toronto in long white flowing robes like some kind of Diva, insisting she be called DOCTOR Virtue, telling people that if they did this and that, within 24 hours they would have their new house, new lover, lots of money, yada-yada. Which really annoys me because I don't believe it.
A friend sent me her second set of cards and truly I didn't like that so many of the images looked like Vargas pin-ups.
That said, I will defend your right to like Doreen Virtue to the end!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Love your angels. I have an angel dictionary. Thousands of different angel for everything you can imagine. Interesting.

My bathroom is where all my angel collection has gathered. When we finish the redo I will post photos. thank you for doing the book meme. I am blessed to have angels around me all the time and I do talk to them and feel they are here to help and protect.
Beautiful angels, all - especially the chipped one. I have some with broken wings. But you forgot to mention the most special angel in your collection - that would be you, mon ami. xo
