Cold Weather and Creativity

Yesterday I cleaned up in my "creative corner".

My mother's aunt got this desk probably around the 1930's from a family she was working for.

In my little creative corner I have trinkets, treasures, ribbons, scrapmaterial, inspiration, books, magazines, pearls, wool, thread, glue, paint, pretty papers, tools, scissors, pencils and a lot, lot more!

And when I get a moment by my desk, this might be the result.

A bit of decoupage,

cards

or some jewellry.

Today we went to pick up a dear friend at the airport and have lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant. It has been a cold and windy day, but with the evening came the sun. I really hope we will enjoy real summer temperatures soon!

Jeans and necklace Forever 21, Cardigan Gina Tricot, Tank American Eagle, Earrings was a gift from mom and dad (one is  black and one blue and they are REAL pencils!) and the shoes are thrifted.

And I got this cute award from the lovely Silver Strands! Check out her inspiring and empowering blog!
