Prescription for a Lovely Life..

I have spent many months thinking about how to start this off, after consuming some of the most inspiring blogs out there (decor8 , 10engines, design is mine, design*sponge, pretty little things... for example)and then rethinking my desire to share my inspirations with the world...there are so many that are so much better at this than me!
And then, I thought, well I better just jump in and find my feet without any thought to the consequences, so here we go......
Like so many others out there at this time, I yearn for a simpler, but still beautiful life. A life full of deliciously designed things to enhance my environment, made by inspired folk who really put their life and soul into their creations. I am ashamed to say that I am not actively creative.."actively" is my get out, as I spent my youth cooking, drawing, knitting, sewing, make-believing and now have lost my way with all of these things. So, I make up for it by "actively" following some of the most talented artists I can find, most often from etsy , but also from inspired bloggers I admire the most. I like to think of it as obsessively coveting as a "passive" artisan.
