{a charming mix of things}

. . . lately have been receiving many lovely e-mails inquiring about the things that inspire and thought it might be fun to compile a beautiful list of current inspirations, of the things that enchant and captivate and the thoughts that turn into daydreams and the things that flutter, flutter through the imagination -- and so, a charming mix of things . . .

. . . natural wonders {one & two}



. . . always, backstage photos {via definitely golden}

. . . topknots {via scout-holiday}


. . . amazing crystal caves {via all the mountains}

. . . a room with a view


. . . smokey eyes & upswept hair

{eternity in each moment}

. . . the now softly fading rays of sunlight breaking through the overcast mornings of early november skies with melancholy evoke quiet daydreams of the always inviting combination of grey & yellow, flax & slate, silver & gold . . .
