On creativity

I fear that I've lost any of the creativity I may have once had... It seems like I had once been able to create characters and feel them. Now I can only mimick real-life situations that I lived trough. How and when did I lose my inspiration?

Starting up 750words again. Maybe that will help me get it back.

Calypso St. Barth for Target

Loving this Silver Pouf by Calypso St. Barth for Target.  It wouldn't match anything since gold is my accent color at home... but loving it!

A Map for Saturday

Watched another movie this morning... "A Map for Saturday" about one man's year backpacking around the world.  It gives me the travel bug, makes me want to save up all my money and just go somewhere for awhile.  It's funny... for my last vacation to Australia  everyone kept saying "I wish I could do that" or "Your so lucky you can do that."  Well, anyone can do it, if they have the right attitude. 

The movie helped remind me how I've lost a lot of focus on where I wanted to go in life and where I've ended up.  Maybe it can be a constant reminder of where I wanted to be and how to get there.

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art

I just finished watching the 2009 film "Bright Star" and can't believe I didn't watch it sooner than tonight.  The love story of John Keats and Fanny Brawne is told so absolutely, heartbreakingly beautiful...








Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art —
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors —
No — yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever — or else swoon to death.

- John Keats, 1819

Timeout Tuesday

Still looking for a birdcage... and a LOT of other things for my new apartment.  While searching birdcages on Etsy today, ran across these beautiful birdcage related works of art.

A couple more decor items I love...

Sometimes I think to myself that it'd be nice to have a better eye for design, but then again, part of the fun in my decorating is the eclectic-ness  of what I own.  So onto a few more if-money-were-no-object items I found that I would find some way to incorporate...

Kate Spade iPhone cover

I'm not in the market for an iPhone case at the moment as I just created one myself that I love... but if I were I'd definitely pick this Kate Spade cover.

Princess Grace

Ran across this photo of Princess Grace of Monaco today while reading about her life and her life with Ranier III.  I'm fascinated by the stories and am truly curious what caused her to give up life as she knew it to marry a man (a prince!) who proposed after three days. Of all the photos I ran across today, I think I find this royal portrait the most stunning.
