Gifts For Children

Here are some cute and whimsical items from my 'Gifts for Children' Treasury on Etsy. These are suitable for children or a child's room...enjoy!

Inspiration

I get inspiration from browsing through bookstores, thrift stores, antique shops and traveling. Here are some pictures from my latest 'inspiration treks'

These were in the garden of a historical home that I toured.

On the wooden garage doors at the former Phoenix home of Cindy & John McCain (yes, the John McCain who ran for president against Obama.)

The paint had long faded on these doors at the crumbling remains of a hotel in the 'ghost town' of Jerome, Arizona.
