Why is it so often that nature reminds me of poems? Yesterday evening I went down to the lake to take photos for a class assignment. I was in a hurry. I just wanted to get the photos turned in and to be done with it. The pine and handsome ducks tempted me to slow [...]
Photo Inspired is still a new-ish post series. It’s a snippet of inspiration built around a single photo. I hope you like it! One of the things I love about Twitter are the inspiring links that are always popping up. I’m always intrigued and excited-it’s like a treasure hunt- to see what the link is. [...]
Last night I was busy eating tacos and fighting with interfacing and completely forgot to get this week’s Loves up. Oops! Here’s what you were missing. I love, love, love this look by Bora Aksu for London Fashion week. I keep going back to it which I think is a sign of a good photograph [...]
Today’s Loves are all interesting posts and blogs that I’ve come across lately. But first here’s a photo I took on my way out the door yesterday morning. A pretty valentine’s rose. It’s so hearty! A week later and it still looks and smells wonderful. I’m going to try to start a cutting from it, [...]
Today is going to be a busy one. Go to work, wash the dog, sew a dress, clean the house. It goes on and on, but even on busy days there’s a whole lot of neat things to stop and admire. This week’s Loves have a fashion theme. I’m over the moon about this handsome [...]
Photo Inspired is a new kind of post. It’s going to be a snippet of inspiration built around a photo. I hope that makes sense! Earlier this week, I saw the photo on the left pop up on a Pinterest board that I follow. I’ve been drawn to neutrals for as long as I can [...]

It should be an interesting and challenging semester. And I’m not sure why, but the flood of pinks and bright colors that this month brings is kind [...]
A few days ago an email from Jeska popped into my inbox. I knew something wonderfully lovely would be waiting inside and I was right! Jeska has set herself the challenge of creating a unique matchbox every day for the month of February. She’s doing this to support her Valentine who is running the London [...]
Yesterday was the last day of work for my best work pal and friend, Abby. She’ll be very missed but I’m really excited about the new adventure she’s about to have. Her leaving has made me wish I were better at writing letters. Maybe there’s something about putting pen to paper that makes me wish [...]
Today I’m trying out a new kind of post. It’s going to be a snippet of inspiration built around a photo. (I hope that makes sense!) In this post the photo inspiration comes from a photo of Queen Elizabeth walking her corgis. When I was little I read a book about Queen Elizabeth and her [...]
