Waldorf, window stars & a glimmer of hope?

We spent a lovely afternoon today at our local home educators social group. Cameron played in the park and I got to chat with lots of other Mums - particularly a lady who I'd pre-arranged to meet at the group and chat about waldorf-ish books. We both brought our book collections along so we could swap and browse them and chat about what works for our families.
I didn't take any pictures as the books were extremely heavy to carry to the group meeting so I didn't take the camera along. Instead, here's a picture of a window star - I've recently been toying around with different designs for these using different sizes of kite paper. I'm aspiring to being able to create something like this but I made this simple "harvest star" as a gift for the Mum I was sharing books with, and another for our seasonal nature table area.

I was most pleased to come home and read this post, and this one too - many posts, in fact, on the same subject. It feels like a really good sign and is a reminder that we can make a difference.

One more thing to link you to today - GardenMama is having a giveaway that may interest you. I absolutely adore her blog, it's worth checking out whether you're interested in the giveaway or not - such inspirational posts and beyond beautiful photography.
