coral and seashell dreams

Today is Inspiration Monday!
When the ladies Megan and Nora of Two Birds Boutique

This is my version.

Today's inspiration is:

Jessica Biel

Autumn Texas photos taken by my guy

I dream of fancy houses with spiral staircases,wraparound porches, and black and white fixtures,

My purse is thrifted

seashells hanging from ceilings,and roofs like natural sea lanterns.

more photos by my guy

Communal neighborhoods and living rooms of browns and rusts like our childhood couch, and home. There are rusted license plates on walls, like those found in The Quilted Bear.

my art journal pages from yesterday

There are wood  paneled walls, and on the carpeted floor, children sit in front of the TV. Everyone watches kittens and puppies, and time machines, going back and forth, to the past.
Wondering how it changed the future,
and whether that was good or bad.
Uncertain.

My shoes are thrifted

Maikeni blogi-part of me nominated me for this sunshine award. I will answer questions 9 and 4.

IX.  Which TV shows do you watch on a regular basis?

I'm such a TV junkie. I'm going to mention some shows you may not have heard of.

Wedding Band

 I freaking love this show!
I think it's funny. It just started November 10.
It's like a modern version of The Wedding Singer.

Mob Doctor

It's super intense, completely fake, and yet interesting.

IV. How often do you use your ID (Identity) card?

I use my driver's license as my identity card.
 Whenever people ask to see my ID, (if they have a reason), I use it. I don't know how often that is. Like if I'm purchasing something with a credit card,(I don't mind showing it), or getting on an airplane, have a medical appointment, getting into a concert/bar, whenever I get pulled over by a police officer, which I don't enjoy.
Then again. Does anyone?  :p

sail on

several years ago.
