In my possession is a very cool book.
Sibella Court...Etcetera etc.
Available at Anthropology and Amazon.
It is so cool. I flipped through it, slowly.
Walked away.
Walked away.
Returned after lunch and bought it.
It is so inspirational,
"Each chapter is brimming with trade secrets."
But...
I am also torn. I am trying to do with less.
To make things out of what I have on hand.
Every day materials like cardboard, muslin,
paper, paint, wire.
But,
I am no different than a crow, peering into
a waste bin. I pick and peck at the local
farm and feed store.
Ace hardware and
Office Depot are equally as inspiring as Anthropology
and Sibella Court.
I need to absorb, touch, see and
yes, collect a few things to inspire me on.
to the next project.
I am gathering for my nest.
This weekend,
I found
plain egg cartons,
burlap,
wood garden stakes,
and wire for fencing.
at the country feed store.
Free recycled tubes,
at a carpet outlet.
At the Goodwill a 10.00 dresser for
my daughter- in- laws office.
I have my work cut out for me.

I am always feathering my nest too Krys =)
Looks like a great book! Nice find...
This book is so great, I am lucky enough to live near her store, she is so amazing. One time when I was visiting she showed me her living space upstairs, it was like being inside that book ...but only better.
In early July she was telling me she is having a one off Saturday Flea market with all her goodies, I think it will be so amazing ... and the book has already won so many awards ... well deserved indeed.
Using odds and ends around the house is a very good thing.
