we've stitched them for hours
towards the lighthouse of our sleep
they are the guardians of our slumber,
and even in the darkest room
i have always seen their beauty
but it is tonight
that i understand"

This morning at sunrise I was in a cocoon of blankets savoring the last few moments of half-awake dreaming before I had to get up and go to work. I was actually cold when I went to bed and had to add a few extra covers - a sure sign that the season we will not name is on its way. I am doing my best to distract myself from this realization by enjoying every ounce of sunshine. Another good distraction, and one that I am personally a fan of, is looking at lovely things. Today I wanted to share a fantastic etsy store with you called Bella Soiree Designs. Ginger Takahashi is the owner and talented creator of the beautiful one of kind items for sale at Bella Soiree. You will find everything from antique lamps, trims, pillows, antique clothing and more. Each piece is an exquisite treasure. Here are a few photos from the store and a drawing I did inspired by her beautiful antique lamps. Enjoy!

Hi Jennelise, you share the most amazing treasures
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to visiting you and your drawings are the iceing on the cake!!! XO Christie
This is a lovely Etsy store ! I will put it in my "Etsy boutique" file.
ReplyDeleteI really really love your drawings ! I remember when I was little I received a book that was telling, through drawings, the story of a teenage girl. It was the same kind of drawings as yours and I never forgot this book. I used to look at the drawings over and over again !
