I know I have been commenting on Posie Gets Cozy non-stop, but my oh my! I sure get inspired by looking at Alicia’s charming home, studio and life. I knew she was talented but I could just sit in awe for days looking at her lovely photographs. I promise to branch out and look at other people’s sites very soon (tell me where to look, I am new to this!), but for now I have been so content catching up on her life in photos. LOVELY! Even if you aren’t a craft person, you can learn something by observing her sense of color, placement and fresh ideas.
I wanted to share one of her photos with you (I think this is proper?) . This is just too cute and charming for words. I actually recognize that second little flowered dress on the wall from my old Raggedy Ann Doll! The doll is missing right now (Alicia????) but it warms my heart to see her little dress hanging on Alicia’s wall.
This is a great example of how you can use things that you love to create art and interest in a room. Choose things that are lovely and arrange them in groups according to colors or common theme. You won’t be able to help but smile as you walk into this room. And that dog, how cute is he?
Thank you hunny! And I didn’t even know that dress was from Raggedy Ann — my mom just gave me some old clothes that she and my aunt had made in the 70s and some others from our stuff from home. I’ll have to ask her if there’s a doll, too. I forgot all about Ann!
