Weekend of ARTspiration

It has been a lovely fall weekend! I was actually excited to transition from flip-flops to my brown boots perfect to wear with a long-sleeved dress & scarf while sipping hot chocolate and roaming around the St. James Art Fair.

I had the opportunity to go to the St. James Art Fair for an art date with myself on Friday and again on Saturday with my husband for a 2nd meandering. Wow...do I love looking at different types of art, inspiration from so many mediums. We, as humans, are so amazing at where we find beauty, how we each create in our own unique way and how our visions come to life. Just Spectacular.

I bought 2 small, but fun art pieces at the art fair. Items that will forever hold a special place in my heart regardless of where our life travels take us.

Right: Fleur-de-lis ~ New infatuation, A symbol of Louisville and seen everywhere if you keep your eyes open

Friday evening, we took part in a wine & art evening where we learned how to paint Kandinksy style circles & squares. It was a lovely evening of silence and focused creativity, laughing and silliness with the others seated at our table and an opportunity to jump outside the comfort zone, play, paint, be a bit free-spirited. So good for the soul.

Now...I just need to find a perfect place to hang them :)

Finally, I wanted to leave you with a bit of ARTspiration for a mini-art-project I recently completed. It's easy and so adorable and can make a perfect gift for yourself or possibly a family or friend for birthday or other fun event.

I would provide step by step instructions....however, the website I found this cute idea from did such an excellent job, I really could not add anymore details. The writer was perfect...visit details Here.

P.S. ~ These cute tea-cups were each $1 at a garage sale that I purchased with my grandma visited. They will always remind me of her gardening visit. 

Watch how once you allow a little ART into your life, the inspiration for your own mini-projects comes filtering into your life. Embrace the ARTspiration!
