saturday shopping list, october 15th...

$68
hand crochet linen table cloth, from nowvintage

"it stands alone on a haunted shore,
with curious words of deathless lore
on its massive gate impearled;
and its carefully guarded mystic key
locks in its silent mystery
from the seeking eyes of the world.

oft do its stately walls repeat
echoes of music wildly sweet
swelling to gladness high -
with mournful ballads of ancient time,
and funeral hymns - and a nursery rhyme
dying away in a sigh.

pictures out of each haunted room,
up through the ghostly shadows loom,
and gleam with a spectral light;
pictures lit with a radiant glow,
and some that image such desolate woe
that, weeping, you turn from the sight.

shining like stars in the twilight gloom
brows as white as a lily's bloom
gleam from its lattice and door;
and voices soft as a seraph's note,
through its mysterious chambers float
back from eternity's shore."

~ an excerpt from 'the haunted castle', by marietta holley

i won, i won, i really won!







how excited i was to awake to an email from stacey winters, letting me know that i had won her bluebird giveaway, for this book and a print! i won, i won, i really won! now, i've always been really good at winning little things here and there that i have absolutely no use for... cans of soda, baseball hats at raffles, soccer bags (you get the idea... random objects that eventually are given away), but this, THIS, i really love, and will use, and will read, and will admire!

a big congratulations to stacey. this is her blue bird photograph, gracing the cover of ariel gore's new book, 'bluebird: women and the new psychology of happiness' (which just hit shelves, and is getting great reviews)




deer whisper print, by staceywinters






you can see stacey's beautiful daily photo journal here, and purchase her lovely work here


this has put me in the mood for a giveaway of my own... look for one this next month!

nothing like a good book...





this is a beautiful book ('the abby aldrich rockefeller folk art collection') i found a few years ago in the montague bookmill, a used bookstore housed in an old gristmill on the banks of the sawmill river in massachusetts... this was while on a road trip to massachusetts with my wonderful brooklyn crafting friends

i would definitely recommend stopping by for a browse and a bite to eat, overlooking the river, if you are ever in the northampton area... we went during the snowy season... so lovely






vintage folk art definitely has an influence on my work, from colors to images... and this book provides an abundance of inspiration. the cover alone is a wonderful display piece!






such fun days were had, during the weekly craft get togethers i shared with these beautiful women! another great inspiration for my work
