rose between two thorns.

just the other day i was lucky enough to stumble across some hidden treasure. smothered between a shop called "all things glass" (selling shower doors, front doors, windows, literally all things glass) and a run down bottle depo was a lovely little bookshop.

so of course taking into consideration my love of books and the urge to follow in Curious George's footsteps i ventured inside.

do you have as much as an obsession for books and quaint little bookshops as i do?

well, to my delight "The Pandosy Bookshelf" did not disappoint. i am on a poetry kick right now and i was able to track down some of what i was looking for. i have really enjoyed john keats lately. i found the cutest little book with some of his writings.

"poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to speak boldly..."

nerves a flutter...

breathe in, breathe out...four words run circles in my mind this morning as i look out over the lake upon this new day, i feel as Danielle De Barbarac did in one of my favorite movies from adolescence "ever after", cheesy i know but i'm willing to accept that. i love the part when she climbs the steps to the ball and she's dressed in this enchanting outfit, looking as lovely as ever and the words she mumbles to herself in order to try and attain even the smallest amount of nerves are, "just breathe".

today is a new day, to look upon it with such awe and fear in hopes of making the most of it, well it's an exciting feeling. oh and today flowers are on my mind...

a whole new world.

so today i walked into a store that i used to enter quite frequently with my mother as a child. the ironic thing is that i can remember taking the stance of disheartened child and whining the whole time making the experience quite painful for my mother. the thing is, at that age clearly i didn't understand the world that i had entered while holding my mother's hand. but today...today was different.

it was as though i was seeing it for the first time. as i stood in awe trying to take in all the beautiful patterns, colors and textures i was a little overwhelmed to be honest. the bottons and thread were to my left, the scissors, needles and other accessories were on my right and layed out before me were bolts and bolts of fabric...i'm sure you've gathered by now that the world i entered was that of "fabricland".

i have wanted to learn for a few years now how to sew and i have finally made the decision that i'm going to take the time to do just that. i have quite a few things that i wish to create and perhaps eventually sell so keep your eyes peeled for handmade goodies!
