unique between causal


I scrambled out of bed, sleepy-eyed and disarrayed, and pulled open the blinds. I saw the sun rising between bundles of houses and trees; the sun - golden, magenta, warm and creamy. It slowly slipped it's way into the sky. I saw beauty between mundane, unique in the midst of causal.  
  
You see, lately I've found it hard to see beauty through the mundane; and how I long for adventure. To be in Paris, the Louvre, a coffee shop in Italy, splashing in the shores of New Zealand, climbing the mountains of Scotland or participating in the bustle of London or NYC... my mind wanders, clicks -- yes, I also strive to be a hunter of beauty.  I strive not to gain that beauty with money and traveling expeditions, but through God's creation, everyday happenings, my own talents, inspiring pictures and words.  

“I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”

post script:  I would really like your opinion - please comment! - do you like my drawings/paintings/art endeavors enough to see me posting about them often on here?

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!

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?
