row. row. row your boat.
tonight we canoed across the lake to a cocktail party. what a perfect mode of transportation on a most beautiful evening. i love how dramatic the sky has been here in vermont for the past few days.

out with the new, in with the old.
i love antiques. things were just MADE better back then, not to mention made to last. you can’t swing a cat in vermont without hitting an antique store and they are all packed with so much good “junk” ! i have begun my summer antiquing and am a girl in her natural habitat.

love is louder.
today i paid my respects to the people involved in the boston marathon bombings, it is a very pretty memorial. why do people do such mean things to each other ? that is something i will never understand. but i do agree that love is louder.

love is louder.
this is the memorial for the boston marathon bombings at the arlington street church.
it is so beautiful and so moving.
i couldn’t imagine a better sentiment.

sew sew.
i bought these wonderful fabrics at a flea market in NICE, FRANCE from a woman who’s family owned a mens tailor shop which was now defunct. she had a beautiful collection of REALLY old fabrics . . . i wish i could have bought more. i love the idea of bringing new life to these fabrics. they will soon be my “uniform dresses” and aprons.

hidden beauty.
these were scraps of clay that i wadded together and was about to recycle, but i found this lump quite beautiful. a little sculpture that i couldn’t have made better if i was trying. one man’s garbage is another girl’s sculpture and beauty is everywhere.

a good start.
yesterday i had a fabulous and very inspiring breakfast meeting at my studio. it was a great way to start the day and just what the doctor ordered.

antibes, france
everywhere you turn in the south of france there is a macaron staring you in the face. and the the thing is, you can’t help but stare right back because they are so beautiful. the shape and especially the colors. something about them is so pleasing to the eye. i can draw them all day long.

color my world.
when i was in france this spring, i posted this photo of my sea glass findings for the day. my friend, jeanine payer, quickly noticed that these were the exact colors of the pantone spring 2013 forecast ! what are the odds of that ? . . . sometimes i feel strangely connected to this world.
