You mean they forget?

When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work.  I told her I worked at the college – that my job was to teach people how to draw.

She stared at me, incredulous, and said “You mean they forget?”

I absolutely love the simplicity in Bridgett’s work!

Perideau Designs offers stationary for the modern soul.  I am inspired by the clean lines and wonderful colors in Bridgett’s work.  Sending a handwritten note on custom stationary, or adding a beautiful tag to holiday gifts and presents are such wonderful gestures.

It’s hard to wait around for something you know might never happen.

But it’s even harder to give up when you know it’s everything you want.

How adorable are these prints by Sharon Montrose?  And YES, they are real, live animals that live in animal sanctuaries and rescue organizations.

I am inspired by the simplicity of these images.  You don’t need much more when your models are as adorable as these animals!  I picked my favorite three prints here – find your own favorites over at Sharon’s etsy shop.

Jenilyn makes the most beautiful clocks!  Each one is either limited edition, or one-of-a-kind.  Are they not the cutest?  I don’t think I’ll ever look at a plate the same way again!

Lucy is so incredibly talented and creative.  Her blog, { a black pepper } is definitely a source of inspiration for me.  It’s as if I slip into her world when I read her posts – and what a beautiful, calm, and creative world she shares with us.

Not only are her pictures amazing, but she knits and designs beautiful garments and hats.  The images of her creations make me what to learn to knit!  I am inspired by her talent and the love that radiates from her blog.

And lucky for us – Lucy also has a handknit design gallery, where you’ll find a list of her designs and patterns.  For more of her gorgeous photography, please see her photography blog, under baobab.  And if you would like to purchase her work, please head over to her etsy shop!
