Happy Week-end....and guess what, next week I am mailing your box....it is almost complete!!! xo
This photo is great! I love those brushes... :) And those words are perfect. Looking forward to some relaxing downtime myself! Enjoy the cider and snuggled! Xoxo
Dear Mel~ There is something about used paint brushes that talk to me with a story to tell. I have on now sitting on a table... I don't know why, but I am happy with it there and I can't put it away... Love this post. Have a beautiful weekend~ xx's
HI Mel Well I grew up with artists in the family so miss seeing the tools of this wondrous trade. If I only I could paint myself!! Lovely quote and post. Have a great weekend x Julie
Hi honey, when I just saw the very top of the picture, I thought, look at all those makeup brushes .... mmmmm I mean, look at all those super paintbrushes.
I really agree with the quote, it's so true. xoxox
Oh Mel, I was on the same wavelength as Dust Jacket Attic..the top part of the photograph loaded and I thought...WOW, I could do with all of those make-up brushes !!! But, when the whole photograph appeared, even more WOW !!!! I did art at school and I love paintbrushes...and don't they look great in those gorgeous paint-stained jugs....lovely quote too. XXXX
Hello Darling Mel! This makes me happy. The image and the quote is just lovely. I hope you are riding out our storm here. It was indeed a doozy. I loved being inside and cozy although a little email turmoil kept me unhealthy for a bit:) I hate when I laet someone else derail me:) Love to you Friend! I think someday we will meet and that would be lovley!
is it weird that i kind of want to run those brushes across my face? of course it is. oh well. they also make me want to get back into painting. inspiration indeed.
ok, I just discovered your blog. I AM LOVING IT! especially this post. It really speaks to me. wow. i might have to print it and tape it to my computer so i can see it everyday!
