Seeing the Beauty Swirling Around Us

Such a
sweet,
little,
completely unexpected,
delightful
surprise
I found on the shelf of my public library
in the form of a borrowed book.

L is for Lemons 

I really didn't know what I had found
until I opened it at home
and out popped
inspiration
in the form of
lovely images and inspiring ideas,
presented in a book
that feels more like
perusing someone's scrapbook
than reading a library book.

"This book aims to show, 
through example,
 how to look at things differently 
and how to see them through a creative eye."
-Ted Kennedy Watson

 N is for Nests

Style and Simplicity
by Ted Kennedy Watson
inspires through
enticing images
simple recipes
 creative vignettes
 vintage collections
 ted's tips
inspiring quotes.

A is for Apple 

My hope [is to] open you, 
the reader, 
up to seeing the beauty swirling 
around us always: 
The way a light hits an object, 
the way a flower stem bends, 
the smell of the air when you 
first step outside in the morning. 
-Ted Kennedy Watson

Oh, Ted has a blog too,
check it our for some inspiration today.
