A love affair with Diane Sagnier >>>

I have fallen madly in love with photographer Diane Sagnier, from the moment I first saw her pinned on Pinterest, to scouring through her albums of photos online on flickr and her blog.  Her dreamy, earthy images bring me back to my core love of photography.  I have not felt as inspired from another photographer since my deep love affair with Lara Jade....  I love the grassroots vibe and the free flowing movement of Diane's work.  You can tell where her art comes from, her soul.  Simply gorgeous, I just had to share.  She also makes fun music you can listen to here.


She also recently appeared in her friends, Camille Marotte & Günther Gheeraert's video called Your Garden.  You can view her post about it here.

Enjoy!

Peices of home in photos >>>

Random bits of home and life.  I miss sharing these posts, it seems like its been a while.  Ive been so busy lately, its been harder to remember to take photos throughout my days.  While I was photographing jewelry the other day, I took a moment to take some black and white photos.  I almost forgot how much I love them!  And I just love this photo of Bella on the rug, her eyes are the same color as the rug!!!  The curtain below was my mom's curtain in one of her houses when she was a young adult.  I love it.  And in the photo of me, Im wearing my PPP bell sleeve top. 


Today we are attending a very important baby shower!  James brother is having a little baby soon and we are so excited!  I will now be an auntie to two little boys!  Its about time James and I make a little girl for our family, its turning into all boys!!!  

Last night was the night we were suppose to go see Rocky Votolato play in austin.  But we both decided against it b/c it was at 10:30, which would put us home at around 4 am... We are too old for that, ha ha!  Im glad we didnt, b/c I ended up having a headache anyway.  James still surprised me with an invite to go out to dinner, so we went to our local wine bar and had yummy sandwiches.  Im already drooling over my leftovers in the fridge!  And its always a double plus when we go there b/c one of our best friends is the cook, so we got to chat with him for a while!  

On a side not, there are all new sponsors up on the blog today!  Go check these girls out - you may just find a new friend or something you cant live without :)

Oh, and I made a new treasury this morning called MODERN ROMANCE.

PEACE,

Daily Outfit >>> Jimi Hendrix

 It is raining outside.  Im listening to First Aid Kit.  Bella is sitting next to me.  It is peaceful.  Today I wore my daddies Jimi Hendrix tshirt.  I cut it up a bit to be a bit more girly.  He wore this shirt all the time when he was going out.  I always thought it was cute, it was his idea of a nice shirt.  And gosh he looked handsome in gray shades with his salt and pepper hair.  I told him how good he looked everytime he wore this shirt, maybe that is why he wore it so much.  I miss him everyday.  It is the oddest feeling in the world to walk this journey with no parents by my side.  Everything I do I want to call them and show them.  There are so many exciting things happening in my life right now, I just want to jump up and down and talk ninety miles an hour to my mom.  And hear my dad say 'alright kiddo'!  Anyways... Im glad I have his shirt.  It made me smile today wearing it.

 I have also been swimming in beads!  Im working on new things like crazy.  I have so much to list.  I havent posted the new stuff on here yet, but I have been adding new things to the Roots and Feathers shop.  And there are a few cute ones coming to Violet Bella soon too.  I have a bunch of new feather in a bottle necklaces in the works that you can see below.  And the pic of me below is me working in my studio :)

 I snapped the cutest photo ever of Bella last night!  Is she not precious?  She follows me EVERYWHERE.  I mean everywhere.  She is such a mommas girl, its almost ridiculous at times.  But I do love it.  Id much rather a cat with her butt in my face all the time, than a kitty who didnt like snuggles and love!  We had peas with dinner last night which made her a happy little girl.  She LOVES peas.  We dont really feed our animals people food, just tiny little hints here and there.  Bella loves peas and corn, her favorites!  She got two peas :) 

 Tomorrow is the last day to enter all 3 giveaways going on right now!  See the right side bar under 'current giveaways' to visit them all if you have not already!  Ill announce the winners at the beginning of October.

 PEACE,
