designsgirl's "Cascade" wedding invitation design is one of my favorites because the petals were created during an enjoyable session in my studio when I was just experimenting and drawing without any ideas in mind.

pretty ways

Author Alexandra Stoddard's precept is to give attention to daily rituals and make them special and beautiful.

Here is my attempt - preparing a healthful and pretty plate for lunch. It is not practical as a quotidian experience but it is nice to be mindful on occasion of making life lovely in simple ways.
