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.
Crumbling brick and ironwork fence with fleur de lis
Colorful vintage women's handkerchiefs in a Phoenix antique mall
Vintage metal cigarette set - holder, ashtray and lighter
Vintage fabrics, linens and aprons
Details on the neckline of a beaded dress I bought at a local thrift store
