Home

Photographer Erin Wallace of Bluebirdbaby blog, is doing another EyesOpen  photography e-course. She asked me to be a contributor, which means I got to wax philosophical about my creative process and share some photos of my work and home. You can see the post here. I thought you might want to see some more photos of my home. Sometimes people say I should share more of my home, but I always feel a bit self-conscious about doing that. I don't know why since most of these have been on my Flickr stream for quite awhile. I live in a very old house (1763) that my husband and I have been slowly working on for 10 years now. We live in a little village on the coast of Maine, and it is a very quiet life for us. We have the feeling that our house chose us because we are hardworking fools who will devote that kind of crazy time and effort to this kind of endeavor! We love the house though. I fell in love with the old doors, and John loves the 2 chimneys we had to have rebuilt from the roof up (ahem, you see what I mean...we could have had a pretty nice vacation for what that cost!). But there is something about making a house a home, and one that reflects who lives there, and how. It is an art form, and one of the most satisfying to me. So here goes.

Trimming

Around our house decorating for Christmas is called "trimming the tree". It always goes along in fits and starts because this time of year is so busy. We've had our little dinky teeny tiny tree up for more than a week with just the lights on. But this morning we got the big box of vintage ornaments down from the attic and went to our work. I'd seen this branch decorated with ornaments idea from one of my Flickr friends so I did that too. I love the way it looks in the mellow morning sun.

Thanksgiving Week









We have been having a really nice week doing Thanksgiving things. We went to Portland for pies and lunch at Blue Spoon. We had a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner with family, and then had a great dinner in honor of Timmy who is visiting from Japan. And then a quiet morning appreciating sun for the first time in days! Photo Ops have been spare due to no sun and busy schedules. We are thankful for the fullness and beauty of our life here in gorgeous Maine, and all the people who add joy to our lives.

Fresh



I have several bulletin boards in my studio where I pin up images and quotes that make me happy, inspire me, provoke thought, remind me of things I value. Today I freshened it up with some vintage black and white postcards of France and Italy I got the other day for 5 cents each.

Everyday Beauty




I am appreciating the light and beauty that is all around me today. Winter is truly over and the garden is starting to come on full blast because of all the sun and warmth we've had. I won't be needing some of these scarves again until fall, but I always keep them handy because they are so beautiful to look at. I love textiles.
