Special

These are really special. Tiny paintings in handmade frames and miniatures, all hand-constructed and then photographed by artist Ashley Curry.

See, I told you they are small. Itty Bitty, to be exact.

Little they might be, but what a huge statement they make when grouped together to tell a fascinating story. You can see more of Ashley Curry's work, here, and you can buy your own wee masterpiece, here.

I spy with my little eye...

{a charming table for six}

{vintage and modern in perfect form}

{modern lines and warm patina}

{a well-loved kitchen}

{floorboards with a history}

{how gorgeous is this color palette}

{beautiful details as far as the eye can see}

{pale wood, oh-so-good}

{fireplace as toy nook, inspired!}

{I never, ever, tire of a shelf chockful of frames}

{bunting! pillows! tea!}

{beautiful shapely chairs, weathered table, lovely glass-fronted cabinet, what's not to like!}

Some lovely sightings on a dreary Monday morning, at least in my neck of the woods. Hope your day is sunny and bright. Happy Monday!
