Mother Mary comes to me

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

Whisper words of wisdom, Let It Be

And when the broken hearted people

Living in the world agree

There will be an answer, Let It Be

For though they may be parted there is

Still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be. Yeah

There will be an answer, Let It Be

Let It be, Let It be

Let It Be, Let It Be

Whisper Words of wisdom, Let It Be

Let It be, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

Whisper words of wisdom, Let It Be

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine until tomorrow, Let It Be

I wake up to the sound of music

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

There will be an answer, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

There will be an answer, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

Let It Be, Let It Be

Whisper words of wisdom, Let It Be

This Beatles song, Let it Be, was written in 1970. I just love this song...and its simple message.

Creating little altars of adoration

So I have wanted for a long time to create a little space in my home where I can house all my mass cards, rosaries and Mary statues. I found this shadow box on Wisteria and I am thinking it would be quite perfect. If you are looking to create a special space in your home to light a candle or house a few religious items and don't know how to get started check out Altars, bringing sacred shines into your everyday life.

Messages from the heart

So my friend, Lisa, bought me a tee shirt and belt buckle from this great company Cutting up. They write  these amazing messages that are inspired by the belief that a message built upon the simple assets of the heart, love, emotion and a nod to the Spirit in the sky is worth sharing with others. 

Angels and Mary

Jes Maharry's jewelry is so special..Her handwritten messages will touch your heart.

Worth Hanging

Some beautiful shadow boxes from Wisteria. Made of metal and distressed, this framed framed folk art shadowbox art celebrates the Virgin Mary patron saint Nuestra Senora de La Candelaria, who is the patroness of the Canary Islands and widely venerated in South America. 

Bottle cap Mary

Another find from Beat Street in Winnetka. Our lady hand painted in a bottle cap.

A pocket size Mary!

Found this little traveling Mary at a shop in Winnetka that I love called, Beat Street. It looks like this when it is closed, then open the doors and see all the people.

Finding grace

My friend, Lisa, has Mary all throughout her house...This little vignette is so sweet,  I love the immaculate heart and the grace book in the background.

Finding Mary

Since starting this blog, Mary has been popping up everywhere!

I was at my friend, Susie's, house and there was Mary...Just had to snap a photo of this beautiful cross!

Searching for Mary on Etsy

Found these cute Mary Magnets on Etsy. Her love is Magnetic!

Hope is here

Anahata Katkin, co founder of Papaya, creates these beautiful art panels. I just love Mary's face in this one. It looks like she is saying what is written...Hope will find you! Hope is here! Mary is reminding us everyday.

Hanging around

Some beautiful pieces from CLP's saints jewelry collection. Love these!

A little light

So couple of years ago, at the National Stationery Show, I meet the creators of Rock of Ages Press. They create these fabulous votives and some amazing hip patent leather bibles.  Love the packaging and the message.

Handmade Mary

This sweet little keychain was made for me by my dear friend Jenny.

She took a vintage picture of Mary and stitched with sequins, felt and paper. Too cute!

Painting with un amica stretta

My love of Mary is shared by, un amica stretta, Lisa. We were at our friends lake house for a weekend and we're painting and crafting and I created this. It was truly an organic process which is odd because painting is normally oil and water for me.  Which leads me to believe that I probably had a little divine intervention along the way...

Lighting up a room

I love these $2 candles you can pick up anywhere and they are so beautiful. I purchased mine at Garden Fresh. They are such great gifts to give and the last forever. Our lady lights up a room.

Buckle up with Mary

Mary is shown her on Sweetbird Studio's handmade wearable shines on intentions. Love the details and call to action, which Mary is constantly asking us to do.
