I have such a lovely giveaway for you today, but first I would like to announce and congratulate the winner of our most recent Music Monday giveaway which was for a $65 music curriculum supplied by our lovely sponsor Home Music Making.....
Congratulations...
Carol Alexander
Rafflecopter picked you as the winner!
Today's post and giveaway is about inspiration.
We all need some.
A favorite store of mine to browse more than shop is Anthropologie. I love their books. Cookbooks, Design Books, Travel Books, Lead an inspired kind of life books... I love their artsy selections. (Homeschoolers, they have some darling kids books too!).
I love their displays, the candles burning in the store and the wonderful lack of loud blaring music like so many stores have now a days. It's a little oasis of artsy, quiet, woodsy, sophisticated inspiration. It's a favorite for books and window shopping and the occasional dress when I want to treat myself (and Mr. Darcy) to something extra special. If you don't have one near you, they are online. My favorite for books, enchantment and 20 minutes of alone, never over-rated "me-time".

ReplyDeleteI'm inspired by just looking around me. The leaves on the trees, my children, places I go, etc.
ReplyDeleteMy children inspire me, of course, and the rest of nature. Weather of all kinds, trees bending, salmon working so hard to lay their eggs safely. I am a true earth mama, I guess. :) Books are tremendously inspiring, too. Like "The House Above the Trees."
ReplyDeleteMy family inspires me. Thank you for the giveaway!

My kids inspire me.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter inspires me all the time. She is a wonderful artist and paints lovely things. She has a great sense of humor and I love spending time with her. Now that she's almost 15 she wants to be with her friends more than me and I often miss our time. I try to set certain time for just the two of us even if it's just to go to Target.
