We’ve had such a busy week at the studio – a humongous winter clothing pull for a client (Spring collections are in the stores…right? I love a challenge like this), prep for a weekend photoshoot for the new website (!excited!), Mother’s Day heirlooms (just wait, you will see them soon) and much more. The studio is literally, top to bottom and side to side, filled with boxes, bits and baubles. This all makes me feel like I’m living in the ocean – the tide comes in and everything becomes jumbled and a bit wild….the tide goes out and there’s a bit of calm reflection time. Are you with me on this? Are you also wondering when the tide will go out a bit ? I’m counting my blessings and at the same time feeling increasingly drawn to calm, quiet, solitary, visual inspiration. The still-lifes-of-life if you will. A few beauties below that have caught my eye this week, below. BTW, how does a hectic pace affect your creativity? Curious to know, my dears!

A monochromatic (ish) palette mixed with flowers that will never fade. Love this very much, thank you.

Being surrounded by beautiful, lady – like packaging is a good thing for a gal, wouldn’t you say?

How many hours could you spend in the serenity of this bathtub?

Do you want to wake up to a Dutch still life every morning? I do.

Hmm. Perfect spot for best girlfriends to have some bubbly and QT ?  Me thinks yes.
