What do you truly love?

Seems like an easy question on the periphery....but if you were asked to put an amalgamation of your true     passions in your mind on to paper....it is more difficult than one would think. Where do you start?

Well after much pondering I do know one thing is for sure and that is family...Motherhood has confirmed that more than anything. In fact it actually is consuming enough to eat you up...and to leave you with the sole question of 

                                                      Does anything else matter?

                                                    

                     Then I started to remember those little fires of passion that burned before

"THE MOTHERHOOD" 

began.    

                               

                      After alot of introspective thought about what I loved what I was passionate about.

These fires began to ignite....one by one and set fire to the creative doors and walls that have gradually closed over time in my mind.. ... It is so important to maintain and stand true to who I am what my passions are. I realize that it is okay to be selfish because a certain amount of selfishness breeds confidance and in return happiness. I am a better person this way and this is what I love ....

Reflective Red Thrifting!

I was able to escape out of the house for a few hour sans baby and was reconnected with an old- fave past time garage saleing! What a great feeling it is to have permission to have a good root around in peoples unwanted possessions! Here is what I came across on my journeys! 

Notice a theme?

Beautiful bright and cheery RED!

Unbenounced to me - untill I got home everything that I retrieved was RED!

The back drop is an old scarf, but I instantly think of a picnic when I see it. It has now made it's peppy debut on my table in my front room.

I love lamps... they set off a more cozy mood than any over head light. This little character I thought was adorable,love the shabby chicness of it and if you ask me it has a little personality of it's own,

Now that I am starting to acquire more items for my sewing room I have an obsession with different size colours of jars, containers and you guessed it....objects that I can put more things into!!

Also incorporated into my hours away was a trip to a little produce store where I got strawberries!

 Juicy deliciousness!There is something that strawberries do to my senses! For me it totally encompasses the thoughts and feelings I have about summer! 

 Love Love Love!
