home all day
As the snowflakes fall I have been spending some time sewing… bags mostly (although I have plans for other things). I have lots of fabrics and bits of lace and trim stashed away. I made this large tote out of pretty gray heavyweight floral fabric which I bought a few years ago and I have …
sweet winter
We had a sweet valentines day. I came home to beautiful winter white roses (to match the newly fallen snow). Quiet corners. Twilight, after the huge storm, beautiful. Lace Sewn of thread and absence, lace belongs at the hem of a garment, pinned to a collar, near the face, or clinging to a tabletop amongst …
I am super excited to announce the good news I mentioned awhile back. There is a 6 page article about my blog in the lovely Artful Blogging Magazine. The magazine hit the newstands at the beginning of the week and I was finally able to get my hands on one. I wrote an article about …
2010

today
A cloudy day late summer walk, on my way out the door… I found the black bunny on the curb the other day (amongst heaps of trash) !! I love when the roses bloom in late summer. Traipsing through town taking photos of my favorite historic homes, for memories. So perfect in so many ways.
Shelburne Museum, cont’d
I love this museum! More highlights of antique art pieces from my visit to Vermont. The rooms were dark and things were behind glass, but here are some favorites to inspire! There were over 200 hat boxes and band boxes on display. A detail and a bonnet! And.. I love the shape of her dress …
apothecary and herbs
We went to the Shelburne Museum in Vermont and it was sensory overload! Much bigger than expected, I could a full week there studying and sketching the fascinating items on display and roaming the beautiful grounds. The museum is full of folk art, textiles, dolls and doll houses, automata, and other odd 17th to 20th …
