How I Came to Love Instagram

Are you into Instagram?  I wasn't for a long time.  Everyone kept telling me, "You've got to get into it. It's really fun.  It's more creative fodder than you'll find on Facebook.  It will be good for your business.....etc...etc...etc".   And all I was thinking was, "Oh vey, one more thing to do."  But what can I say,  I am a sheep and follow the herd even if I am sometimes late for the party.  I was dabbling, testing the waters.   And then what happened was I saw some instagram feeds on an ipad (instead of the little teeny images on a phone) and I was hooked.  It's just a fantastic source of inspiration.  Way past eye candy.   And it's a lovely little curated, voyeuristic glimpse into just about any world you might be interested in.  In my case it's flowers and interiors. But maybe you want to know what they're up to at the Louvre, or follow your favorite creative type, or want to know more about indigenous textiles in Peru.  You get the idea. One thing I learned is that, apparently, I am drawn to a lot of Australian designers and florists. There's some very cool things happening down under.  You can click here to see Vogue Living's list of 25 Australian designers to follow on Instagram.  And you can  click here to see Passionflower's instagram feed too. 
Happy Hunting!

A little bit of blue


We are feeling a little bit blue on this long weekend.  Sensing the end of summer.

The Hand and the Eye

 
I have always been a doodler.  They say it can help you concentrate.  My mom was a doodler too.  But I'm wanting to take my doodling to the next level (It's good to have goals don't you think?) and this is the book that makes me want to do it.  Highest recommendation if you're looking for some drawing inspiration.  And, at the store, 
we have a whole slew of other collage and art
books for big and little kids too. In fact I love this book so much we're going to make it a kind of textbook on our ART TRIP TO MEXICO coming up in just about a month now.
