What's getting you inspired lately?

For me at the moment it is all about colour - the fresh new colours of Spring, soft colours, blossom, vintage pastels.

There is a great post over at decor8 at the moment by Leslie who does a monthly column there called Colour Me Pretty.  Image below is from that post.  Isn't it gorgeous.  And, growing up with a father with a passion for roses, I have loved these beautiful old style roses for so long.




At the moment I am in love with these illustrations by Marcus Oakley.  They have such a cool retro feel and the colours are a little darker than the pallette I am into for my own work, but I love the subdued dusty shades.

The soft dreamy colours of Yvette Inufio's photography:
I am always drawn to vintage luggage like this for some reason - And I love that she is also a librarian!
