"Style is the perfection of a point of view."
Richard Eberhart American Poet

Recently, Little Augury sent a gift my way and I was honored to receive it. Needless to say it means a lot to me since she has inspired me to do this blog.

I have always enjoyed her mix of fashion, style, and interiors, that are always beautifully held together by art. Her stream of images that flow seamlessly together with a thought process that is different and evocative, continues to intrigue me. In a nod to her love of art, Patti Smith, and a brilliant point of view - one of my favorite artists, poet, print maker and mystic, William Blake:

The Auguries of Innocence...

To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, 
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.


As for me, I am a decorative artist who is obsessed with all things that relate to art and design, and seem to have a singular focus as far as that is concerned, much to the chagrin of family and friends!


It is such a wonderful world out there in the blog sphere learning, playing, and getting inspired. These are the ten blogs that I have discovered.

Capitol
The Modern Traditionalist
The Big Joy
O' What a Creative Blog
Sigrid Frensen
Design Guy University
Villa Savoia

Nicky Haslam
Princess Ann Country
Ivan Terestchenko

I would like to add one whom I wish will continue to blog.

Design Perspectives

These are the rules, as were shared with me. Of course, to do with as you wish...

"These awards carry a price (with a c not a z!), better known as rules, and they are  as follows:

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you (DONE)

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Award 10 other bloggers

4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about the award

(some will be thrilled and they should, always nice to get a nod from one's peers-

and some will just moan- and bemoan -and they should not)

Since the whole point of this is to really spread the love around.
