Hello there and happy Monday! I was going through and cleaning up some of my cabinets today and came upon my old copies of Blueprint Magazine.

{happy weekend} & a little music inspiration

Hello there! I hope you are enjoying this first Saturday of 2013. It's a gorgeous sunny day here with a lovely blanket of snow on the ground. I'm sipping on a tasty latte that my hubby made me and planning out what I'm going to work on today.


WHERE YOU SEE A WALL, I SEE A DOOR

Lately I've been a little obsessed with Bat for Lashes especially since the release of the new album The Haunted Man. I really love Natasha's voice and presence. Both are just stunning and I am in love with these sounds & this imagery. This just inspires me. What inspires you?
