Dream Job

As midterm exams approach, I feel the need to remind myself of my goals.  I am an aspiring art student and my dream job is to work with a creative team making beautiful window displays.  My biggest inspiration for going to art school is Free People.  Their amazing blog is so full of beautiful images you could spend a day browsing its archives!  Here are a few inspiring images from the window displays of Free People's sister store anthropologie.  Enjoy!!!

....I really must write my art history paper now.

Remembering John Lennon

Today would have been John's 70th birthday.  He was truly a treasure of this world and will always be remembered.  This is one of my favorite songs of his which was written about capitalism in the 40's and 50's but, I feel still rings true today.  One of my favorite things about this song is that it's just John and his acoustic guitar.  I'm such a sucker for organic music!  LOVE <3

Working Class Hero -John Lennon

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career,When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me

Tuesday Inspiration

There is pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,

There is society, where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:

I love not man the less, but Nature more,  

-LORD BYRON, Childe Harold

Obsession Alert!

Okay, first of all -I know I suck.  I never finished doing collections week!  I was on the ball Monday and Tuesday and then....I lost my muchness. But, you know after Tuesday even the calender says W.T.F, right!?  
Anywho, I would like to share some beautiful pictures with you all and also welcome my new followers!

I could not possibly be more in love with this fall's lace fashion trend!  I don't know if it is because I am a child of the 80's who just so happens to ADORE Madonna, or if it's the perfect combination of sweet and sexy.  I do know I love it more than a squirrel loves nuts!

Collection Tuesday -Vintage Folk Art on Wood

Hello again :) It is day 2 of collection sharing week via Pixies and Bears.  I really like it, because it gives me a perfectly good excuse to procrastinate doing my homework! Today's collection is my little decorative wood pictures that I have only been collecting for mostly this past summer (other than a couple pieces.)  I got most of these from various Goodwills in the area.  I haven't even hung them yet! I think they're pretty sweet and I would like to arrange them in a sort of cluster all together in the dining room at some point. 

Here they be!

The last three are already hanging in my kitchen and they aren't included in the first picture.  Pretty cute, Eh?  :)

Collection Monday -Vintage Aprons

Hello all! :)  I have been a huge slacker on my blog since school started but, Lindsay of Pixies and Bears had a really cute idea to share our collections all week.  I am really more like a hoarder than a collector so I definitely think I can come up with something every day!  For my first collection I have vintage Aprons.  :)  I love these!  They range from 1950's to 70's.  I would love to eventually re-purpose them into clothing if I ever learn to sew. 

Here they are!

For the ladies :)

Women are angels, and when someone breaks our wings, we continue to fly...on a broomstick. We're flexible that way.
