artful blogging

pretty yellow book

good day to you :)

I offer you a little cup of tea with a dainty daisy and a pretty book to enjoy this morning.

This weekend was filled with so many fun things. I had a little party for my { Inspire Lovely } class yesterday. I made strawberry cupcakes with delicious buttercream frosting and sweet heart sprinkles. xoxo Mr.Handsome and I enjoyed a beautiful time at the farmers market here in Little Italy. We totally ate our faces off :) I even did some pretty shopping: a new garland, hand embroidered wrist bracelet, and a new book full of ideas to get some loveliness on our walls. I hope to finish the project and share it soon! I'm really excited I can't even contain myself. It has nothing to do with painting my walls in my studio, BUT it does have something to do with adding some much needed style with a can of spray paint. *wink* of course it has something to do with spray paint lol!

artful blogging

Over the weekend we also received this a copy of this beautiful magazine, "Artful Blogging."
It's been something I've been really excited about since being approached to send in some art + words. I was so surprised at how colorful the pages look :)

art as life xoxo

I have made it one of my goals this year to be more creative with my color choices. Until now, I never really thought I had made the effort. I am totally a work in progress but thankfully, the color is coming through for me and I am really loving it.

have some pretty tea & art lovely

I love all these pictures with Mr.Handsome. He's such a nice guy :)
so fun to see

I had such a nice time flipping through the magazine and reading the various excerpts of many amazing artists and why they blog. Very inspiring indeed :) I would definitely encourage you to pick up a copy and check out the blogs featured. Can you believe it? An entire magazine featuring blogs? I love that.

I do hope you enjoyed your sweet cup of tea. I am loving those tea cups to pieces!

a sweet day to you,
xo
