Inspiration: Sunken Treasure

I'm pretty happy that my computer is still alive after the mishap earlier this week, I poured rice all over my keyboard in a desperate attempt to resuscitate my little machine. I'm happy to report it seems to be working as it usually does - well!


Here are a few snippets from Sunken Treasure. I spent a few afternoons over the holidays, scrolling through the archives. The images and creativity are really just lovely. Seriously, the whole blog is fantastic. I love Sophie's sense of colour and composition - especially that shot of pumpkin silk.


On another note, lately all I can daydream about is a house in the woods - but these beautiful European city-scape pictures make me feel like this alternate reality wouldn't be bad either.

Polished Charm

It has been a bit of a crazy week. I always think to myself that our lives are pretty typical and that we don't do much of anything but I have to come to terms that we tend to be busy more often than not. Scheduling meeting with friends is like negotiating a peace treaty. Lots of back and forth. Laundry days get lost in the shuffle. The husband has been sick all week. Slowly getting worse before he gets better. I've been trying to keep at the crafts and do some reading... but it's all very tiring!

On a calmer note, here are some beautifully finished pieces from Herriott Grace.

Some Interior Day-Dreaming

Today looks pretty bright and crisp. After a sweltering summer Toronto is definitely in transition. In September you get to watch all the different people, in all the different neighbourhoods, move in and out of all the different apartments. It has been tempting my husband and I to get back to our lazy search for a new place. Our apartment is big. And wonderfully cheap. But we want nicer walls. And better flooring. And doors! (We no doors because of the way the place was renovated) Plus I want a room for an office....
The list can keep going but I think it'd be nicer to just post some nice interiors instead. Enjoy!

Found on Simply Grove, specifically here and here.
