And while I’m in that book store you described, I’ll find the artist journals, the kind with the blank pages and the soft leather covers…it’s very important that they feel right, or I can’t draw or write in them, like the smoosh quality of the yarn and the color.

oh yes, rows and shelves of colours, like the joy of piles of new stationery except SOFT! when i can’t get out and about i give myself a similar pleasure sorting buttons and threads into types and colours. sad, but happily true. glad you got out and bagged some goodies to stimulate your creative juices.

I once owned a yarn store and even though I was there everyday and it was my source of income, it was also an endless source of inspiration. I can understand the “need.”

Ah yes, book shops - one of my favourite places of inspiration too!

ahhhhh inspiration moments….

give me the almost rain smell in the air
the fogginess of impending winter
and a book store…….
with aisles………
and wall space
with spots just large enough
to wedge myself in
and a pile of books
with lots of photos
and inspired i will be…………….
