Fairy Tales and Offices

What do you picture when you hear a fairy tale? The beautiful maidens that dance across the pages with grace and flair? Or the princes who ride on white steeds and save the day?

A few months ago I decided to picture-ify three fairy tales for a friend of mine, Hanna from I'll Name My Typewriter After the Moon.

Beauty and the Beast

Snow White

Little Red Riding Hood

We are both crazy for fairy tales and would probably live in them if we could, so we both hung these photos over our desks. Hopefully they will help the inspiration flow.


My desk with the three photos in the magnet board in the corner, next to my inspiration wall.






And Hanna's desk. You can tell she spends a lot of time there pouring herself onto pages. It's a well-lived desk.






So tell me, what do you imagine when you read fairy tales?

Word of the Week

I'm trying to see if I can stump you with this one. It's so much more fun when I really make you work! These four photos have one thing in common. Guess what it is in the comments. You can click on the photos to view the etsy products or click on the shop names to visit the shops. Have fun! I'll post the answer on Wednesday.

100 Photos

My florist friend was rather frustrated to find out that this bouquet of tulips only cost one euro (about a dollar fifty). It's so hard to live in Europe with cheap flowers and good bread. Can't wait to move back to the states where I have to pay at least five dollars for a bouquet. Hee hee.

 

I have just passed 100 followers, and this is photo 99. With photo 100 I'm opening up a give-away contest to celebrate both the ending of the project and 100 followers. I'm really excited about both of these. I'm also starting another project that I will introduce with the contest. So keep your eyes open for the chance to win something!

Geneva Car Show

A few more beauties from the car show. I was having dreams last night that mixed the last few weeks of life. I was at a car show with Albert and we were drinking Irish beer (last night we went to a pub). There were buckskin horses that people kept saying they had never seen before but we needed to catch them (part of a story idea). It was one of those nights where I felt like I was working all night. Ever get those? Here's those photos to sooth my wild mind.

First the new Mini Cooper. Then the Audi A1 on it's world premier. Then the gorgeous Porsche GT3, their newest racer. The Bugatti's blue part is made of carbon fiber. And some cars from Spyker.

No matter how much I try to convince you, you still won't believe me. But this really has nothing to do with it being February. Or the 14th. Especially since that's next week. Welcome to Word of the Week. These four pictures have one thing in common, guess what it is in the comments. You can click on the images to view the products, or click on the shop names to visit the shops. I'll post the answer tomorrow.
