lakeside.
Slow down summer! The weather has been fine and glorious. As I write this, the first rain in 34 days is starting to fall.

green.
Now that things are rapidly greening up outside, I'm finding myself newly inspired by the hue - only a little deeper, a little darker - and it goes so well with some brass or gold thrown in for good measure.

Oh my. I stumbled across the hand-painted wallpapers of Elena Carozzi.This image from a collaboration with furniture designer Valentina Giovando (photo: Elle Decoration UK )
The very best tactile clutch from Cold Picnic. I really want a clutch right now but with two children in tow, alas, ce n'est pas practique...

of the botanical variety.
Thoughts of gardens, greenery and florals are starting to pop into my head, brought on and inspired by some recent pins:
a pair of silk embroidered Uzbek pillowcases: ebay
jacket by Cosmic Wonder Light Source
Balboa Botanical Gardens in San Diego: photo
17th Century floral wallpaper from a London house (take a look at all of the gorgeous specimens of wallpaper found as well as the assortment of objects the owner found under the floorboards while renovating - fascinating!)

light returning
Oh how I have neglected my poor little blog. Life has been busy! However, the light is returning; days are longer and perhaps I will find my outward voice again. Meanwhile, the snowdrops have pushed through and four year old likes to squish them when we come upon clusters during our walks to preschool.
We set up some crystal-growing experiments...super excited about these ones.
No running in the halls!
Thoroughly enjoying sewing for my shop.
And my lovely witch hazel tree that B bought me last Christmas is in full bloom. Eclectic mix of images - but such is the way these days.
welcome!
- I'm Marya. Here is where I share what inspires me, what I'm making and a few of the in-between bits as well.
