Inspiration altars

Plus bonus Mim being cute



This week's theme has been working on botanical and naturally inspired pieces. I've also been purchasing and creating things to liven up my spring photos. I bought a gorgeous vintage brass filigree stand, some old books for props, driftwood, new papers, and I've been constructing a mossy little bower. Jason got me a miniature trellis for Christmas, so I painted it and adorned it with natural things.





I basically just have to get a nice white fabric backdrop, and I should be all set.

Also, before it sputtered out, Lord of the Rings candle did this:





In other news, I am fighting the ick. Valiantly trying not to get the ick that is going around, but I just started sniffling, and I waaaaay overslept this morning. Nooooo.

When I'm not feeling like total crud, I have a few more beauty-related things I want to share. Swatches from a new palette and some new colors of my favorite cream blush. Plus I did avail myself of the Zoya promo code for three free polishes. Sad that Maisie was sold out, but it will either come back in stock, or I can find a similar color elsewhere. But all in due time. My hair is also a muuuuch darker pink/purple mix at the moment. I used SFX Deep Purple on the undersides, and the results were nearing black. We'll see how it looks after a few washes.

And that's all the news that's fit to print. Gonna work today until I can't, then curl up with a book.
