I'm so grateful for small things in life... hanging up lovely-smelling laundry, relishing on pages from a good book, making inspiration boards, running in golden lighting, the warm wind whipping my hair, and paintbrushes gliding across paper.  

001.  inspiration boards and calligraphy

 As I cut out pieces of paper from a fashion leaflet, an idea popped into my mind -- I'd make an inspiration board with a friend theme. It turned out very well!

The quote reads: Many people will walk in and out of your life but only true friends will leave foot prints in your heart. -- Elanor Roosevelt
(Ahem. Please excuse the bad quality -- and overall, bad picture, -- that you see above.)
I've always loved writing... and cursive and calligraphy.  Do you do any calligraphy or make up any creative fonts?
002. cute cottages, crisp leaves, crocuses and hydrangeas.
When I walked by this sweet cottage, I was smitten with it. What cottage could be cuter than that? 



crisp leaves on ground = fall around the corner.

004. roses, grass, and golden lighting




I was out relishing in some golden lighting yesterday.  It was lovely  All photographers love this golden hour right?

005. pages
 I made a new blog page!  I'm so excited to announce: aujourd'hui {meaning ''now'' in French}.  It's a little journal where I post small sentences, things I've been enjoying, etc.  Take a look! -- and why not check it daily? 
What do you think?

  1. lovely photos.

    there is something so elegant and beautiful about hand written script. i think it's really a lost art now -- i can look at my grandmother's handwriting and see such beauty. i love that writing and calligraphy was a favorite of yours!

    have a blessed friday
