enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

I am in love with flickr favorites. I love to collect colors. I love how they fit together. I love seeing what attracts me on different days. My biggest problem with the whole she-bang is that I cannot carry them around in my pocket. I cannot print them out and play with them. They only exist in the computer.

Today, I started a book that will act similar to my flickr faves. A collection place for the stuff that I see and the stuff that I rip out. Nothing new or exciting. Most people have done this all before. I have done this all before. But ooohhhh, gluing with no agenda is so fantastic.

Sources so far mostly catalogs: veer.com, pottery barn, free people, anthropologie.

The book itself from West Elm.

And that big (white) dress with the bow? That my friends is my wedding dress. Or my "Hooray it is nearly APRIL" dress. Whichever comes first. HA.

    It’s great to have somewhere to put all those things that catch your eye! I have about 6 inspiration books now they are what I go looking in when I get stuck & I’m always adding to them, they are fun little on going projects that are there for the fun of it & don’t have to be anything but what I want them to be so they change wildly from neat & tidy to a real mess & explosion of ideas just depends on what mood takes me! Love your patchwork of papers next to the jeans with the so it goes belt which I also like! Seeya hugya G
