Weekend sketches in my giant deckled-edge thick-textured page book…my favorite (but very heavy) one to tote around right now: Oh what a very busy (but wonderful) weekend! Friday night we went to Tarrytown to the most quiant, magical old theater to see Neko Case and it was fabulous. We were on the balcony but the …

Glimpse
The past few nights have been spent painting…dreaming of vibrant gardens with made-up plants, lush mossy greens, garden dresses and imaginary fox. Here is just a small peek at part of the painting, which I hope to finish in a few more stretched-out sittings…maybe this weekend? The girls face need to be adjusted a bit…her …
wandering
Spent the weekend meandering, hiking and painting! And I am feeling much like a magpie during my woodsy walks… Collected more rose-printed chards of old teacups and saucers, pinecones and rosehips for inspiration. Yum and I found some old books for a dime each that are already cut up to shreads! Yesterday we had a …
mossy slippers
Before the temperature here hit the low teens I was outside in my moss-inspired slippers. The real moss was so lush and beaming with the most beautiful shade of green with little twig-like things embeded throughout. Soft and full of cushiness! Mmmm green… I love green! Slippers that are supposed to be for inside only …
Merriness and other little bits of joy
The last few days in pictures… My feet in the rainy, mossy snow: Leftovers: Newest find, closeup: The sweet, sweet pair: Sketchbook inside cover, shards of old plates and teacups found during scavenger hunt and the most whimsical little bear bottle top bought the other night at anthropologie. They had a bin of these little …

The weekends are spent meandering around and exploring in nature. Now that the days are short, dark and chilly I have to squeeze in my long walks on saturday and sunday. I think in the wintertime I need to look harder for inspiration, but when I find it I am so happy! The sky is …
Pure Frostiness
I have been spending my time cutting up 100 year old fairy tale books and pretty new papers… Don’t worry, the book was in shabby shape anyway. I’ve had it since high school and have been snipping at it ever since! I found it in an old farm house antique shop for a dollar. Life …
Welcome November!
The days are starting to be quite chilly! The leaves are blowing off the trees, leaving October behind. I have been in a slight state of hiding… Things to occupy the time ♥ handwriting dreams, inspirations and art ideas in my sketchbook ♥ eating lots of peppermints ♥ playing in my art journals with fragments …
Of spooky nights and hayrides at twilight
Photos taken by moonlight. I was some sort of a doll on Sunday night, I think. I do love this time of the year more than any other. Its a real bummer that Halloween is on a Wednesday night this year. So why not get dressed up early? As silly as they may seem I …

little leaves
Yes indeed, the joy of searching for vintage clothes. It makes my head spin with excitement. I do need to post more of my finds….this outfit is entirely thrifted (including the tights!) The other day I walked through a flock of blackbirds. What a joy it was to see their iridescent black feathers in contrast …
