Musings...

“I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life,To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.”

~John Masefield 

Rep Theatre Project Part Two

This Saturday August 27 the Rep Theatre Project apartments will be open as a show house. Here is a sneak peek at the apartment I designed.

 The dining area is small  but Scalamandre's zebras give it a lot of style and impact.

 Hydrangeas make everything better.

 The art wall was made with the help of Sherrie Whitehead.

This is going to be a great show house. The information is here.

For Strange Women

Combining my love of fragrance with a neo-Victorian aesthetic, For Strange Women offers naturally scented products that not only smell amazing, but are beautifully packaged.  The brainchild of the talented Jill McKeever, she has succeeded in creating a line of artisan perfumes for...well...strange women. :)  Check out her shop here and her blog here.

Refreshing Creativity

Sooner or later, it hits all of us creative folks...the dreaded slump.  During that time, we're either tired and stressed from every day "stuff", or we're just not feeling very inspired.  I'm not there right now, but have been in the past (and know I will be again!), so I was wondering...what do you do to refresh your creative spirit?  Whether simple of elaborate, I'd like to hear what speaks to your soul and allows you to reawaken that spark of inspiration....thanks for sharing!

Girl With A Pearl Earring

One of my favorite fine art paintings - Vermeer's Girl With A Pearl Earring - is featured in my latest art pendant necklace.  I also just listed some really pretty vintage baroque glass pearl earrings...yes, there's a theme going. :)  Click on the images for the link to my shop.  Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  xx
