Right now we are in the middle of a snowstorm and it is so cold and blustery outside!<br \/>\nGreen is and had always been my favorite color. But I find myself being drawn to all shades of blues for the time being. Maybe becasue I keep finding pretty blue things. I would like to fill an entire shelf with all things blue. A little pile of things from last week:<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/080212_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nand I was looking for a whole year for a very certain treasure, found inside of this bright blue plastic case:<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/080212_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nResisting to look on ebay, I found it in real life last week. It&#8217;s a pretty shade of blue. Can you guess what it is? (I&#8217;ll have a picture soon!)<\/p>\n<p>\nI like things with dead insects imbeded inside. I have a few little frames with butterflies mounted, their wings tattered from age. This paper weight has a giant creepy beetle inside. The peachy petals of the flower remind me of the tulle on a 1950&#8217;s prom dress I have packed away. <\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/080212_5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nYum cross-stitched birdie and an old post card with poppies.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/080212_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nWishing I could get more done. On Sunday the sunshine was pouring into my tiny painting corner, and everything looked so untouched, which makes me very sad but hopeful at the same time. I have some new paints that I can&#8217;t wait to play with as soon as I am feelign better! Nothing feels better than new paints.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/080212_6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nOh, and I got this pretty vintage floral jumper dress on etsy. I just love the little white buttons on the shoulders and the bold floral print against the black. It reminds me of Frida, which remindes me of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philamuseum.org\/exhibitions\/278.html\">a certain exhibit<\/a> which we are going to see soon. I was jumping for joy when I heard about this one, and what fun to visit Philly!<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/080212_7.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nI have some more little cameos and lockets to post soon, and some sketches maybe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All that is needed right now, cups and cups of it!
