Kara’s Music + Art Journaling class helped me to overcome my fear (my crippling fear) of blank sketchbooks. Kara is an inspiration wizard and I am so thrilled and honored to host a giveaway of her newest class, Out of the Blue, right here on Wayside Violet! Here’s what Kara has to say about Out of [...]
It’s so perfectly chilly today and the wind is whipping leaves all over the place. It feels so nice to be inside with a cup of hot coffee and a bit of chocolate. Today is going pretty well and tonight I will be baking apple pies! I’m getting excited for Halloween this year! I keep [...]
Good evening everyone! It’s my birthday! Twenty-four was a fun year with lots of changes and I think 25 is going to be a year of adventures. Joel and I have been planning things we want to do and I’m excited to see what happens!
I’m always being inspired by people in the handmade, Etsy, DIY communities. I had another wave of “this is so cool!” as I read the answers that Amie, from theif & bandit, put together for today’s interview. Her work is gorgeous! Q. Could you tell us a little bit about yourself? My name is Amie [...]
Sorry for being late on posting this! I know you’ve all been waiting. Time just completely got away from me yesterday! Congratulations to Katy, the winner of the RobbieMotto giveaway!

Yesterday my friend Harry tweeted-I hope it’s not creepy that I’m blogging about someone else’s tweet, anyway…- he said, “I love looking through other peoples favourites on flickr. You can get a glimpse of what that person is about [...]
Corrie is one busy lady and she still finds time to make the sweetest things! Her whole shop is darling, but I especially love the textile necklaces! Each piece is one of a kind (or just a few of a kind) and handmade using a wonderful mix of vintage, reclaimed and newer materials. I’m so [...]
I’ve been a little under the weather for the last few days, which of course is no fun. So I’m cheering myself up with happy thoughts and drinking tea and re-watching favorite movies. Today I went through some of my old bookmarks and found this pretty photo. I think it looks like a perfect afternoon! [...]
