addictions

what a great fall weekend! this is a tea towel from the new martha stewart line at macy's that i added some applique to. the color is great and it made the perfect little gift for an artist friend's birthday. i already started one for myself and maybe another for etsy.

here is a peak inside my bookcase which holds ribbon and old magazines. i think i might be addicted to ribbon. there is more in the basement. i go through my magazines every few months and tear out pages to put in binders. i have idea files for every room in the house, landscaping, crafts, entertaining, business ideas, floral design. these are magazines that have too many great ideas, so i keep the whole thing: mary engelbreit home companion and holiday editions of cottage living, country living, country home, victoria, martha stewart living and others i've picked up at the news stand. i think i might be addicted to magazines as well.

other things i could have endless collections of: books, dishes, glassware, cake plates, tea towels, fabric, paper.

the frame on top is an article from kansas city home design about botanica (my flower business).
