I'm off for 3 weeks to the USA. Home. And well...not home. I have 2 places on this planet I call home! The first is a medium size American town called Olympia in the STATE of Washington. The second is "Hazelwild Retreat" our 50 acre property, just outside the wonderful country town of Maleny, Queensland-Austrlia. I have an equally soft spot in my heart for both places.... I will try and blog as often as possible...this is a "Renee Blackwell Design" jewellery blitz with trade shows and promotional events in San Francisco, Seattle and Olympia.
