Tiny Inspiration...

When building a vignette..

(click images to enlarge)

Inspiration can come from small places...

Like this tiny cloche,

meant to house a cupcake...

But place an orphaned salt shaker in it

and it rises to new heights...

Physically and ascetically...

What is it about being under glass

that makes everything fancier?

Propped up on a bundle of well worn vintage books

adds oodles of charm...

You can never go wrong

with a backdrop of hand painted roses...

This platter is

a new find at a local Thrift shop :-)

The Barns of Snohomish County...

It's so hard to believe

today is the last day of summer...

I know I have been absent this past week...

I have felt the need to soak up the

last remnants of summer...

I thought I would share some photos

from a lazy drive in Snohomish County...

A lazy farm community

full of amazing barns...

This pair of barns is my favorite...

The massive barn

with her baby barn snuggled up by her side...

Where style meets function

a barn with a pair of cupolas..

Perfectly weathered

to a classic grey...

There were lots of red barns around the county

but they just don't do it for me....

A small Dalia farm

all the colors of autumn,

lined up in rows...

sometimes I dream of moving to the country

 to farm flowers...

and what would a country drive be without

a charming roadside sign?

Whimsy at it's best!

Grab the last bits of summer while you can!

Today I am joining
