Quaint & Creative

Lately I have been fiening over the most glorious garden/living areas. Living in the simmering Oklahoma heat makes any gardening hardly enjoyable but I am still mesmerized by beautiful landscapes and the ambiance it creates.

I am someone who, to be inspired, needs to live in a place that coaxes me into being creative--that allows me to see and experience a vast array of new things. I've posted a few photographs of beautiful living spaces that are going into my "create list." The space doesn't have to be grand and luxurious, quaint and comfortable will do.

Typewriters

"I'm totally in control of this tiny, tiny world...right there at the typewriter." --JD



For the past few days, I have been fawning over the repertoire of Joan Didion and her brilliance as a literary artist as well as culture icon. I found this interview of her on the sands of an utterly gorgeous beach in Los Angeles. She describes her disposition toward her work ambiance and everything in-between. If only Typewriters could come back as a popular form of screenplay writing.



An artistically liberating work space is so vital to writers, artists, designers and the like. I imagine mine to be a furbellowed room, filled with little vintage notes and objects--every literary great bound to the walls of my room, tailing their illustrious lives. If only.
