Starry Tent

I'd like to know how Katie did this exactly. It's so magical. How is that gauzy chiffon-like drapery hanging like that? I have made many tent efforts in my time and nothing has looked that much like a real tent. This, this is a masterpiece. And those cut out stars! and the rope lights! I will find a way to do this very soon.

Art Nouveau in We're Back

Art nouveau. My interest in it actually began with the LOTR Trilogy, particularly Arwen's room and Rivendell in general, but the pics online of it aren't very clear. Will post later on that, but for the present, I think these shots from We're Back give a nice example of the style that I like a lot.

Sakura Gel Pens

As demented as it sounds, I could literally tote all of these pens around with me every where I went. I'd be a journal-writing, doodling hermit, taking great pains to find just the right color to express the feeling and mood of my expressions. Maybe it's better this way.

I am a little bit obsessed with these.

Castles and Christmas Trees

I bought a white artificial Christmas tree a few years ago and I love it so much I usually leave it up way beyond Christmas season. I break down sometime in March or April with the reason being, that it won't be as special for next Christmas if I leave it up so long. But this year, I'm re-thinking this scenario. Why not leave a Christmas tree up all year? I love the lamps and other decoration in my home all year long and don't get sick of them. Christmas lights and trees are very cozy to me. Hmmm... I'll keep thinking about this.

Cinderella's Castle at Disney World in Florida

Disney's Castles look very similar to Christmas trees. Maybe I could build a miniature castle out of cardboard to place around the tree this year.
