Observation

Work feels so much less like work when it's done in a pleasant environment!

Still

I love the stillness of this photo. I used to think a yard had to be continuously in bloom to be beautiful, now I can see beauty in the dormant period as well.

Shared Interest

When I see a room like this, entirely dedicated to the beauty of flowers and gardening, I think of the person who must live there, and it's easy  to imagine that we could be friends. Without even knowing another thing about them...

Defined

vernacular photography- 1. the collecting of "anonymous" photographs. 2. "snapshots", very often by amateurs.

Mix

Different periods, different styles, all married together beautifully!

Still

What a beautiful spot, it seems entirely tucked away from the stresses of life. We should all have such a place...

Oh, these stairs! They're so fun and pretty, they make me want to run out and bedazzle something... anything!

Sentiment

Happy Valentines Day. Thanks for being such loves and stopping by my little blog.

Look

Coats for me are like shoes are to many women. I  have a definite weakness for them. What's yours? I assume we all have at least one...

Inspired

One of the classes I'm taking this semester is Collections where I'll be putting together a collection of clothing (design, pattern, sew) to be shown in a fashion show in May. I've been  so looking forward to this but I'm sure you can see where it could be a bit intimidating as well. Luckily, we take it step by step; the first step being inspiration...see above.

Dreams

White subway tile! Strange how something as simple as that can be so dreamy...

Adored

Isn't it just perfect?! Wish it were mine.

What's In a Name

I've been dreaming of naming our home for years now. I think of it as Grey Gardens although I've never made it official and I'm not exactly sure what would make it feel official; maybe a prettier garden, shutters and a painted front door. Anyhow, this little cottage is called Bee Cottage which I love and the owner has great insight about how to let a home take on it's own personality. Here.

Product Review

Bought myself a pretty camera strap because although I know it's not necessary for such an item to be beautiful, it feels that way to me. It arrived yesterday and I couldn't be more pleased. In case you're in the market for one, find them here.

It really is all in the details, isn't it?

I know I'd never get much book work accomplished here, but oh how I'd love to try!

Do Over

Our dog ate our winter garden. Every last bit. So, until next year, I'll have to be satisfied with pictures of prosperity. I hope you have been more successful than I.

Scale

One of my absolute favorite elements of design is scale. It's something that excites me over and over again. The large bug print above then, is something I love. And if that print happened to be an E. A. Seguy illustration, printed from the archives at the New York Public Library, that would be even better!

Impatient

Can't wait for spring to get into the dirt? Try potted primroses indoors. They hold their bloom for weeks, are easy to care for and pretty to look at!
