Inspiration.

I married a truly wonderful man. A man who constantly encourages me to do things that I love and to better myself as a person every day, in any way I can. A couple of weeks ago, Phillip arranged for my parents to watch Jack on a Saturday morning so that he could surprise me with a trip to the flea market just because he "knew I would enjoy it". He said he wanted me to be able to walk around unhurried, at my own pace, and take it all in, camera in tow.

I had been talking (read: griping) to Phillip about wanting to be more creative on a daily basis. I had also shared my frustration with him about having salvaged a couple pieces of furniture that are now catching dust under our carport just waiting for me to add a little paint and imagination and make something special out of them. Basically, I have been feeling Stuck. Dry. Uninspired. My amazingly intuitive husband knew that the flea market would be the perfect place to get my creative juices flowing and to inspire me to action.

And he was, of course, right. Thank you, honey, for such a wonderful day. Thank you for being thoughtful and loving and kind. You are my true inspiration. (And yes, I intended for you to have that song stuck in your head for the next several hours!)

Here are some of my favorite images captured from our morning. I love the colors, the textures, the shapes - They make me smile. I hope they make you smile too. Enjoy!
