Texture Feast




Toronto woke up to a flurry of snow today.
I got up in the early morning to use the bathroom and caught a glimpse of the white stuff falling outside my window. It was pretty out there but the best feeling was knowing I could climb back into bed and go back to being cozy. I have such a love-hate relationship with winter in this city. I love the snowfall but I hate the slush. I can deal with winter until about February. Then it's minus thirty degrees celsius and I'm pretty much over it. The extreme cold depresses me. All I ever want to do is stay home and read or watch movies. There are seasons for every activity, I guess.

I'm going to do some typing today. Not here. I'm going to sit at my new typewriter and hammer out a letter and post it overseas by the end of the weekend. I may even get around to doing some printing. 
I've planned a cozy and thoughtful day. Here's to letter writing and not catching cabin fever!


I found the images above and thought they were so inspiring. I love the detail of the textures and the tones. They are available at Lost and Taken, a site that provides free high res textures by Caleb Kimbrough. Good resource for some creativity, eh?
I first saw them here.

Elegant Things


A virtual bouquet for a darling friend.
She's flying home today and I hope she'll get back safe.
There's karaoke to be had!

Happy Birthday Lady Jones.

Ecstatic Life

My husband and I have the good fortune of starting work around the same time most days. We only have one full day off together but we do get to share our mornings. My husband makes himself coffee. I steal it. He plays free cell on his computer. I check out blogs on mine. It makes me happy to have these rituals. I can't fully describe it but I think the effect of the following art expresses exactly how lovely life can be sometimes. I am also really excited by all the art I have found online lately. Fantastic!










This last image makes me want to get bangs. Tempting!
