And it was COLD&#8230;a light wool sweater type of cold! I love September. So, from now to the end of October, its all Autumn here! It comes and goes to quickly, I am going to savor every second of it, and I&#8217;m sure you will want to too!<\/p>\n<p>\nA few things as of recent&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/070902_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nMy desk, newly cleaned and cleared-off. I have a new project in the works, the pile of paper covered masonite in the top left corner is a hint of it&#8217;s preparation. The sketchbook on the lower left side is brand new, and probably the best sketch book I have ever had for many reasons.

I just can&#8217;t wait to fill it with doodles.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/070902_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nSome vintage clothing I am ecstatic about!

Good clutter though.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/070902_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nThrifted things from last Friday. Oh, except the old medicine bottle.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/070902_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nMartha Labels, Kiki Smith, Embroidered bee, a odd couple I snipped from an old book, tree card from Whole Foods, and another Kiki.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/070902_5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nA peak at the first painting in the new project I was writing about above. She is painted on beautiful handmade paper with little petals captured in the pulp, which is giving her a very soft feel.
