Love the Kokeshi

I've always admired Japanese Kokeshi art dolls. These are some of my favorite images.
A little different twist on a doll rich in history.
Above is from a wonderful little ETSY shop, DECORARTIST.

This is a photograph from another ETSIAN, HeyHarriet.

Both are equally sweet and swirling my head with loads of inspiration.

Surf, Sand and Snuggles...

I think baby Mitchell and his mommy are going to have many cuddles and snuggles on this little pillow. Dreaming of flowing palm trees and white sandy beaches.

This was definitely a labor of love!

Summer Surfin'

I'm so excited for my latest project. I thought I'd search the internet for some inspiration, although being a California girl, it wasn't all that necessary.

This was all I needed to get my creative juices flowing. I'll keep you posted.

These make me smile...

Even with this pounding headache I can't seem to shake, these little girls bring the biggest smile to my face! They are on a long journey home. I know they will make some little girls smile as well. Happy Wednesday.
