I want to go

Actually, I just want to live in this place. You can visit Beatrix Potter's home at Hill Top Farm, looking just the same as it did when she lived and wrote there.

Beatrix Potter's house, an inspiration for many of her tales, Hill Top remains as she left it. Each room contains something that appeared in her books. Beatrix valued the house and its contents highly and when she died she left Hill Top to the National Trust, to open it to the public, on the condition that the house was kept with all her belongings in place. The lovely cottage garden is a haphazard mix of flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables.

Gaaaaa! I want to go!!

Ideal Bookshelves

Oh how I love these Ideal Bookshelf prints from artist Jane Mount. Too bad the ones I want the most - #2 and 3 here - are all sold out. You can tell a lot about a person from the books they surround themselves with. Recently it was brought to my attention that someone at work referred to me as having "a lot of weird books." (I don't think the person who said it actually owns any books of their own. Just sayin').

N is for Narwhal

just love that.
that's all.

Amanda Wachob Tattoos

Absolutely love these gorgeous bird tattoos, especially that little chickadee. Looks like a watercolor painting!

Kat Heyes

If you have some time today,
indulge yourself by taking a look through Kat Heyes' photostream.
Such beautiful colors and tones.
Oh, she also has a lovely blog, too.
Enjoy :)

Making a List...

I've started thinking about Christmas lists - for myself and others. This lovely calendar by Linda & Harriett will be on mine.

What are you asking Santa for this year?

September...

Hard to believe it's back to school time already. I came across these precious prints from sarah jane studio - don't they look just like beautiful children's book illustrations?

i was such a lucky girl today

i am truly fortunate to have some really wonderful people to call friends, and i'm constantly amazed at how new people come into our lives and seem to open new doors each day. i can't say too much right now, but there will be much more to come over the next few days!
