Rain, bare branches and grey-washed skies today. Enjoying the novelty of being able to see the bark and rocks and mossy texture on the ground (as I am quite sure this delight will wear off by mid winter!) Despite the rain (and to wonder why I am feeling a bit under the weather) I decided …

november
A golden November day, the sun poured through my windows like honey. Found the prettiest vintage butterfly locket broach on ebay to house a mini print of one of my prints, but I don’t know if I can part with it… With old Japanese faux pearls and a velvet ribbon around my finger to remind …
snowy day
Today is snowed and snowed. Despite the inclement weather (all the pretty fall leaves are now frostbitten!) I spent the afternoon painting a field of wildflowers amongst other things (painting update very soon!). Snow in October! Anyway, I picked up an antique dresser set yesterday for a song! It’s beautiful and inspiring (I think its …
almost quiet
It is the time of year before everything sleeps. It’s so cold here, already! In the morning frost blankets the ground and I actually wore my winter coat a few times. I’ve been in a bit of a hibernating mode this week. Rose hips in the sun from last weekend. I’ve been tagged by marmeecraft …
Two new seafaring treasures
Captured these in the late afternoon sun of today! A journal and a necklace, both featuring Seafaring Heart. The journal features some original sketches inside! Both available here. It’s a large Moleskine sketchbook! Cover adorned with an oval print of “Seafaring Heart”. Print is protected with a UV varnish. Little collage of Seafaring fox and …
mountain love!
♥ An amazing, otherworldly fall weekend was spent in the mountains for our 5th anniversary! Stayed at an 1860’s mountain inn that was absolutely gigantic (and to say it was gigantic is an understatement, there were over 250 rooms!) Climbed tree houses, had picnics, wandered into bear caves, rode horses, collected acorns… ♥ The meadow …
Come with me…
on a fall walk through an old abandoned village! My favorite type of architecture resides here. Last weekend I attended a poetry festival in the village with thousands, and this weekend we returned all alone. So lets take little peeks in windows and knock on the doors of abandoned buildings and homes! Ringing the bell, …
seafaring sketchbook journal!
The moss was dry of dew and rain so I was able to photo this sweet new treasure (perfect for recording all your ramblings and/or doodles!) Hand-stitched felt goodness (and calico papers!) custom bookplate and mini print inside (not to mention the little fox on the cover!) Up for grabs in my shop.
rainy damp weekend
And as rainy days go, they do not allow for good photos. I was planning on updating the shop this weekend with another little sketching journal, but it must wait till I can properly capture it (the mossy bed where I take my photographs is sopping wet and dimly lit). Tonight I lit some pumpkin …
Favorites
The fall makes my eyes wander, making a wish list of pretty, earthy textured things (and in colors I normally wear all year). This sweet nubby brown capelet by Deciduous Soul. I am amazed by Lady Lavona’s shop. She sells such strange things. I am in love with this antique sterling silver neck piece, which …
