I bought another chest of drawers, this one for the front porch. I'm having the hardest time committing to a paint color for this one or the other one I found recently for my bedroom. I guess it'd be hard to go wrong with a creamy white, especially outside, in a dark corner, in front of a grey wall. The hard part is that there may be a better choice that I haven't thought of yet.
As far as fascinations go, I should be over the feather one by now. . . but I'm not. Love this necklace from Alyssa Zukas of Two String Jane.
My youngest sister has big plans for a garden planted in old clawfoot tubs. They will be lined up in her backyard and planted full of edibles. She's working on finding them now. Until now, I've never seen a tub with this kind of painted motif. I have to say, I really like it and think it would look especially nice full of lettuces and herbs.
Time spent with a friend and coffee at a worktable, talking about inspiration and/or creating can be so exciting. This room seems made for just that. If it were mine, the books on those shelves would be ones like Glue Gun Decor, Stitchery, Printing by Hand, Vogue Knitting, Upholstery Basics. . .
Hillery Sproatt's work was among my favorite things at the fair. Her work in print and embroidery is just detailed and interesting as it is pretty.
Renegade Craft Fair was fun. Here's some candid shots of my youngest sister and I at the photo booth they provided. Husband and our youngest were there too but we never made it into the booth. I wish we had, it's so fun that I don't even mind that I look ridiculous in at least two photos.
I'm getting a late start this Monday morning. These beds look good enough to climb back into but what I like most about them is what's above. The gallery grouping of frames will work forever. Oh, and the little, brass picture light in this second photo, adored.
Heading to the Renegade Craft Fair in S.F. on Sunday. I'm so excited! What about you, what's on the agenda this weekend?
Oh, the layers and layers of plants here! From the moss between the pavers to the ivy climbing up the walls and the succulents in between, this is a good look.
A map of Paris from an Encyclopedia published in 1896, this is a treasure indeed. I'd love to see it enlarged and framed!
I found a small Blue Jay feather as I was rushing out to pick up the children today and put it in a drawer to look at later. Who knows what I'll do with it but it was such a joy in that moment.
Something like this, in all of those open spots we talked of earlier today! What else? Maybe wax envelopes full of seeds, garden journals, the change jar, books of course and so much more.
