Compass Book Store Sun

I did not go into this bookstore, but I am sure that my husband kept me out of the place on purpose. I have not seen too many suns with a stache. Have you?

Sun Plaque

I am almost certain that I took this photo while we were in Frontier Land. It has a Spanish feel, so I think this was near the Zorro area. I love the teal blue with the bright yellow sun. No, I don't know any of the people.

Disneyland Sun

While we were at Disneyland, CA. I had my camera with me, so I took several photos of sun images.  This was actually one of the first I saw there. We had such a blast. It was perfect to visit the happiest place on Earth before the children head back to school.

This is from the "Country Herb Store" in Occidental, California. I had to take the photo as I passed outside their store when I was visiting the area today.

Ancient Egyptian Stone

An ancient stone from Egypt depicts the sun with a square hole in the center. The center hole is an indications "The Eye of God". I have taken photos of the sky, and see how the ancient people would think that a God is looking down on them.

If you have an image of the sun to share please e-mail me, and I post it.

Sunset in Autumn Woods by Julie Schulet at My Good Babushka . She is a great artist, and I love the work she does. This one is available at her etsy store I love scenes in hte woods, and have not seen too many that include the sun. I was happy that Julie allowed me to use her image here, and tell all of you about her art.

Sun for Mama and Mini

 

These are pendants and pins. Both are the sun, and are from Italy. Th one on the right has been to my jeweler. I had a smaller diamond taken out, and the 1/2 carat diamond from my engagement ring set in it. The one with the opal has not made the trip to the jeweler. I will have the original diamond from the first one set in this one. 

One is mine and the other one is for my daughter. I try to find vintage sun pins and pendants to collect. Once we actually have our ranch, and the museum I would love to have some jewelers offer pieces that are related to things at the ranch and the museum. The museum will be all about Italian culture and the influence it has in America. 

We thought having an ag-tour museum would be great for us and our community. We do not have our ranch as of yet, but if you want to see our progress go to my blog Terra Del Sole.
