interior inspiration : the colors of fall.

Might I say that I am terribly excited that autumn is here? As much as I love the summer, fall is by far my favorite season. It just shines here in Portland- I'm counting the days until the leaves change and the breezes kick in. I adore the colors of this time of year...

I admit, I'm having quite a bit of wanderlust these days. I've been daydreaming of wandering the streets of someplace where I don't speak the language. And so, a collection of foreign tongue...

ten images of inspiration : in their sketchbooks.

Good morning! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Other than doing some housework and seeing friends, I spent a lot of time looking through artists' websites for inspiration (I want to start drawing again.) In doing this, I rediscovered my love of seeing the pages of other people's sketchbooks- it's just so inspiring to see the creative process and the rawness of pen & pencil. If you have a sketchbook online, please share... I'd love to see!
