ack. sorry for neglecting the blog for so long. i’ll be back with a proper post tomorrow but i thought i’d post a fun site for you to play with while i’m getting it together.
have fun with it! if you post some pics of you let me know because i’d love to see.
back to work for now. :)

i’ve said before how much i love seeing what’s inspiring other creative people so i really enjoy putting lists together of a few of my favorite things. i figured while i was waiting for some shipping labels to finish printing i could put one together. hope you enjoy! :)
(i always try to link to the original source if i know it. just click on the picture.)
i watched this for the first time two nights ago on TCM and instantly fell in love. i’m sort of meh about musicals in general but this absolutely, positively stole my heart. the colors, the story, the actors…everything was just perfect! gene kelly was a dream and donald o’connor was so adorably quirky! this might be a new favorite movie for me. go watch it. srsly. it’s on TIME magazine’s all time 100 movies list. i think i’m going to make watching all those movies a goal on my to do list this year. love love love. here’s a clip of the signature scene. tell me you don’t fall in love. try it but i won’t believe you!
2. red hair
my hair is naturally a brownish kind of red but i’ve been seriously considering dyeing it a more orange-y red. yeah. i think i will.
3. farscape
it’s no secret how much i love sci fi but i had never seen farscape until just a few weeks ago. it came up on my netflix instant view and i just adore it. it’s a little bit silly but i think that’s to be expected for something with puppets and produced by the henson’s company. ben browder is a dreamboat too. i first saw him in my very favorite (now cancelled) stargate sg1 and i didn’t really care for him. i think that’s because he replaced the brilliant richard dean anderson. it’s nice to see him in his own role. i need more sci fi in my life! especially with loverly fellas. heh.
4. bubbles!
i have ALWAYS loved bubbles! there is something beautiful and magical about them. the colors and shape and weightless nature. pure joy. i remember when i was kiddo my brother and i had edible bubbles. just one more thing to love about them.
5. damien rice and ray lamontagne singing together
i have no idea how i found this song originally but i wish there were more like it! they’re both favorites of mine and wow, do their voices blend seamlessly or what?? pure acoustic magic.
6. this photo
7. a little bit of beautiful rain
so what’s inspiring to you right now?? i’d love to know. is it a gorgeous photograph, perfect song, the weather? as long as you are feeling inspired then it’s a good thing.

i’m busy shipping and still working on getting caught up (please let it just be done already!!) but i thought i would pop in for a minute to say thank you for all the lovely things you’ve said and all the hugs you’ve sent my brother. i told him that i was going to save them all up and give them to him on christmas. ha. yeah, he didn’t like that so much. ;)
here are some pretty things that i’ve been drooling over. enjoy.

i’m still suffering through a major case of the blahs and trying to get shop stuff caught up and get over a sinus infection so i haven’t had much of a chance to do anything crafty lately. i have been looking at other people’s beautiful things and i thought i would share some with y’all. i absolutely adore looking at other inspiring posts. hope you do, too!

my own photo of some angelina sparkles all out of focus and prettiful
this gorgeous porcelain piece based on funky old jars. i love the bell jar votive holder, too.
i am obsessed with daisies! yellow, orange, white…they all amaze me.
sigh. a perfect tattoo for my mood.
peaches! i’m a georgia girl at heart and these lovelies are our state fruit. proud to be a georgia peach. tasty.
i love kathryn reichert’s work. i bought a ring of hers in savannah a few years back and it continues to be one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. such a simple, minimal statement.
james stewart. i love him. he was a great actor and handsome to boot! the end of mr. smith goes to washington always chokes me up. brilliant!
i love taking photos. and looking at photos. and thinking about photos. heh.
what’s inspiring you lately?? busy working on holiday gifts, hanging up lights or snuggling by the fire? i’d love to know.

funky c.
