crayola markers paper and glue, reading beatrix potter stories to my daughter, rising bread dough under the checkered tea cloth, raw rainy day fire in the woodstove, hot coffee with milk and sugar in my favorite blue pottery mug, Sarah Ahearn Bellemare's Painted Pages to inspire, addictive instagramming, garden design planning, reading up on herbs and herb drying, and tending to my studio simplification/overhaul work-in-progress. i have recently painted the walls, cabinets, shelving and work stool bright white. like fresh linen sheets. neat, clean and the perfect backdrop for my natural finds from the outdoors. one empty wall begs for a display. i have been pondering how to decorate it for nearly 3 months -- the other day i had the light bulb moment -- to cover it with at least 100 4x4 prints of my Instagram photos. ordered:) please hurry mr. postman.
two bright yellow goldfinches have been darting about my yard all day, feverishly gathering nesting materials, nourishing themselves; working, building. coaxing me to do the same.

i am completely in love. sarah moon. oh, oh, sweet sighs, swoon. this slideshow of her photography is mystical.
