The internets were very beautiful--and sometimes a little bit strange--in March.

Karen, I just LOVE these monthly inspiration posts.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your monthly inspiration, as well. I love that Waldidyll fabric. I try not to slip into the everything-used-to-be-better-than-it-is-now trap, but it seems like fabric actually did used to be better. I see vintage fabrics I love all the time (wallpaper, too) and never anything new I like! So frustrating.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks to you, Paul and I are now Game of Thrones addicts. We watched the entire first season in a week, but now we have to wait until next year because we don't have HBO! At least there are books...
Oh, yay--I'm so glad you enjoyed Game of Thrones, Lauren! I've read the books, too, and I loved them...and I'm not normally a fantasy person. Did I tell you I read Young Bess on your rec and loved it? Now I need to read the other two in the trilogy.
DeleteSo glad you liked it. I need to read the next two books, as well. Young Bess was such a refreshing change from the usual historical novel.
DeleteI'm not normally a fantasy person, either, and neither is Paul, but we got totally wrapped up in the first season and now have gone and bought the first two books to tide us over.
A beautiful collection. I find myself really drawn to that William Merritt Chase portrait. The texture and the colour and how the woman appears to be looking straight past you into a space filled with her own thoughts.
