. . . first of all, i am so so happy that we are finally getting a little cool front here in dallas! i just made it in from a walk with my other half & we just couldn't believe how nice & pleasant the breeze felt + what a lovely full moon we had tonight!


so, i thought i'd share some refreshing sea paintings by one of my favorite artist marybeth thielhelm & a little quote from one of my favorite poets!


. . . thirst drove me down to the water where i drank the moon's reflection - rumi

. . . for example, how about these absolutely beautiful fabrics by cassaro + what lovely settee, huh?

illustrator erin petson . . .

. . . i haven't been posting as often, but hey it's summer & things seem to move a little slow for me during the summer months.  i've also been on a little mini break from work this past week - still doing a little bit of work from home, but for the most part i've been sleeping in & just enjoying hanging around & going to lunch with everyone i don't usually get to see during the work week. 

today, i thought i'd share the lovely work of erin petson - she's one of my favorite illustrators! i love how her drawings depict very quite, solemn moments.

well, i'm off to have a very late lunch with my other half - lebanese second day in a row!

. . . wishing everyone a sunny weekend!
