Daily Inspiration

My inspiration comes from so many aspects of everyday life. Enjoy your day and see what you can find, which is already in your life, that inspires you!

Tabby Cat

An absolutely beautiful morning here in Birmingham. I hope that you are also experiencing this perfect weather. The morning light is coming in my office window and my tabby cat, Veda, is hanging out under my stool catching some rays.

I have been trying for quite some time to get some shots of her eyes open. She is notorious for closing them the moment the camera snaps. Today, however, I caught her gazing into the sunlight herself.

Here's what I got!

Farmers' Market, etc.

After many dreadfully hot days, this morning finally began to feel like Fall may actually be approaching soon. Yay! We woke up early, and decided to head downtown to Pepper Place Farmers' Market where fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and peaches all made their way home with us. Mmmm...Check out these apples! Of course, I had to tote along my camera, but I was glad that I did. I was able to catch some great shots. One of which, this "Delicious Apple" print is now available in my shop. I think I might put a copy in my kitchen to bring some color to the walls.


On a completely different note, here is a peek at the greeting cards that were created from the inspiration of beautiful Stella, mentioned and featured in yesterday's post. These are also now available in my Etsy shop. Where you can view more images, with more detail. These are much different than my typical style so any and all comments are appreciated!

Greeting Cards

Not only have I been busy working on the layout of this blog, which I would love to hear comments as to what all of you think of the new face lift, but I have also been glued to my computer creating a variety of new card designs. I have a new funky/alternative birthday card. A set of kitty "Hi" cards that I think will definitely be a hit with the "Cat Lovers" crowd ;) Make sure you check those out.

I've been trying to decide when I should post my holiday greeting cards. I will probably start posting designs soon, but would love to hear feedback on when you plan to do your holiday gift shopping, as well as holiday items such as cards, stickers, etc.

What would you like to see in my shop?


This photo was taken of my niece Stella. She inspired the beautiful printed cat set cards that you will see soon to hit my shop! Isn't she beautiful? Stay tuned to see the new set.
