Inspiration Tuesday - finding it everywhere.

I wanted to blog about finding inspiration everywhere, and that it is everywhere, we just have to look...
my little creature loving soul goes wild over this little lego nook in the side of a broken wall. To give the wall a new life, being adored instead of forgotten.
One-hundred-year-old artist Grandma Moses paints at her farm, 1960. She started painting when she was in her 70s. It took her awhile to find her artistic style. She is an inspiration that it is never too late.

if you never look up...you may miss something amazing.
or maybe...you should fall in love with books again...there are worlds ready to burst out of them

 You can find inspiration anywhere...if you open your eyes a little more...and let your heart go chasing it down.
have a fantastic time finding it, I know I am

Inspiration Tuesday - Paper and Words

Back on the topic of letters...welcome to Juliet's Wall of Love. Since the 1930s, letters addressed to Juliet keep arriving in Verona. As of 2010, more than 5,000 letters are received annually. he letters are read and replied to by local volunteers, organized since the 1980s in the Club di Giulietta (Juliet Club), This alone makes me smile, yes I have seen the movie, Letter's to Juliet, but this image fills my heart with such passion. Just the idea of the wall of love inspired me...filled with pages and pages of letters.
What is also inspiring me today are these
Tree Libraries in Berlin Germany. 
 
These hollow-log bookshelves were erected in Berlin a few years back to help encourage the reuse of books. The project adopts the idea of putting up a bookcase in a public space, in which people could release their used books to be picked up by others. In other words, books DO grow on trees! If you want something to read, just go pluck it from the book orchard.
*sigh* these should be everywhere! The beautiful feeling of an actual book is a fast fading notion! I will keep the love for books alive! one soft cover at a time.

I hope these two little things have inspired you! as they have me
enjoy your Tuesday
