maybe someday i'll share your little distant cloud

i really really love this piece, and i have two more vintage scissors already covered with fabric that are waiting to be framed (it's slightly addictive! perfect for when you feel like spacing out on something detail-oriented). i just put this one up in my shop here. as i was covering these i was thinking about what they might have made in their lifetime. maybe baby clothes or a quilt or doll clothes or curtains or pillow cases or even a wedding dress... what stories it could tell i'm sure!

i'll post the others as i finish them. it's hot and sunny here today, which is ok ~ i'm enjoying every last day of summer we get! hope you're enjoying today as well.

i'm waiting for some glue to dry in a pretty new mixed media piece i'm very excited about (hopefully will be sharing tomorrow!), so i thought i'd do a little post. that top photo is from the hoyt arboretum (appropriate for the first day of september, no? fall will be here soon!), and that gorgeous vintage bird box is my latest thrifty find ~ isn't it amazing? i just love to look at it...

i also thought i'd share a few links to blogs that have been inspiring me lately:
- pia jane bijkerk
- cafe cartolina (and the gorgeous shop here)
- the constant gatherer
- tiny happy
what's been inspiring you?
hope you're having a wonderful week!

ps - sweet kate let me know that tavi gave a speech recently where she mentioned my sassy poem and the amazing sassy community that is still going on today ~ you can watch it here :)

wrapped in piano strings

well i had a crazy day at work today, i have a big headache and it's way too hot, but i did a little mushroom & moss vintage shop update (check out this amazing thermos and lunch box!) and now i'm going to reward myself with ice cream (coffee with slivered almonds, yum).

i also wanted to share my latest thrifty find ~ this amazing vintage fisher price "change a tune" piano. so freaking cute!!! it'll probably go up in my shop at some point, but for now i just like to look at it :)

hope you're having a great week!
