into extraordinary

Kevin Van Aelst transforms the ordinary - love these photos.

 

simple ideas

I like these ideas for wrangling kid's curios. From my clippings pile - a past issue of Real Simple.

a girl can dream.

Have you ever done guided meditation? When asked to find my 'happy place', it looks a lot like the pages from Vintage French Interiors, I speak fluent French, G and I are the only customers at the flea markets and my wallet is heavy.

{Oh, and I have a lot less body upholstery.}

 

Behold - Gravestones

I like my vintage cast iron S & P shakers.

May they rest in peace.

Putting the box of 64 to shame

Look at all of these lovely colors. 500 Colored Pencils is a subscription - 25 colors for 20 months. "A time-release of inspiration and color." Beauty!

Found via Daily Poetics, among, I might add, so many wonderful objects, poetry, and little paths to follow.

ha!

I am easy to amuse.

 

Yo Barack,

Congratulations President Obama

 

So many different reactions and comments online regarding this - I like: the Secret Service is to be on the lookout for Kanye West when President Obama accepts the Nobel Peace Prize.

Artist Liu Bolin doesn't use Photoshop - just crazy great at painting himself. {the bottom picture!}

Yesterday,

my primary thought was: oh s**t, I only have one year to get all grown-up and put together before I turn forty. 

Sketchbooks

Sketchbooks: The Hidden Art of Designers, Illustrators & Creatives is a great read/see/get-inspired tome. My books are filled more with chicken scratches and illegible notes to myself.{which makes for interesting reading later, when my memory has failed} Now inspired to do more sketching and imagemaking.
