{{Inspired}} Sunday Morning Breakfast

I love breakfast. It has absolutely become my favorite part of the day. I blogged about my discovery of "the most important meal of the day" on my food blog - and I am not exaggerating when I say discovering breakfast has changed my life.

But lately, breakfast time is more than just a meal - its my inspiration. Its a quiet Sunday morning, a little bit hungover. My husband puts on some good music, I put on the coffee and together me make a warm and filling breakfast. Its the highlight of my week, one of the few times we get to spend a few quiet moments together talking and laughing and just enjoying the moment with no stress from work or life getting in the way.

Every single day I find myself wanting to photograph breakfast time - and this week on Etsy I found plenty of items to add to my inspiration. And that I want to add to my kitchen.

(No seriously. Someone buy them for me. If I don't get that sugar/creamer/syrup set i might cry. and the orange mugs. and the lotus bowls. and the blue frying pan. and most definitely I must have the adorable mushroom kettle, I mean look at it! and the picture and the breakfast print...I have a breakfast nook that is just dying to have these on the wall. please? anyone? )

New

I haven't listed new items in quite awhile on Etsy. I have endless projects that I am constantly working on but it seems like I fall into these lulls in creativity and am constantly having to jump through hoops to get myself out of. I get frustrated to the point where I don't even want to touch my camera anymore. Which is a long way of saying I haven't done anything I have loved in quite some time.

But there is nothing like a trip to the South of France to get the creativity flowing. Hey it worked for Matisse and Picasso, why not me?


I am pretty excited for these newest items - they are images that I really like (for now - I am soooo fickle about my own work). They represent so much of what is really moving me at the moment - nostalgia, possibility, romance and every conceivable shade of blue (hmmmm shall we call this my "blue period"?)(har).

So, I have been seriously neglecting this blog lately. In large part, its because I have been spending an enormous amount of time on Etsy - and not tending to my own shop - but instead rooting around finding all kinds of things I decide I really really must have. I have at least 200 hundred necklaces favorited and I can't decide which one to buy first because I want them all.

I have become obsessed with making Treasuries - if you aren't familiar with Treasury's on Etsy you need to become so. They are So.Much.FUN. Basically, you get to curate your own collection of items to whatever theme or inspiration you want. I am completely addicted. Its like my own version of an Inspiration board.

Above is my latest, inspired by Alice in Wonderland. There is something about Alice that really appeals to my sense of imagination and nostalgia - and for weeks I kept coming across items and works that reminded me of that story. I love all the soft and dreamy neutral tones mixed with the periwinkle blue.
