the bluest sky

"all worries and troubles have gone from my breast and I play joyfully far from the world. 

for a person of Zen no limits exist. 

the blue sky must feel ashamed to be so small" 

~Muso Soseki Japanese Zen Master and Poet

this beautiful home is located inside a cave on the island of Sisili, off the coast of Italy.

Such a romantic and mysterious place, it is hard to believe it is a modern home.

there is something quite simple yet startling about these pictures.

the styling, light quality and setting makes them feel quite timeless. 

hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

a teaser

this is just a small glimpse at the beautiful fabrics I used last weekend to sew up some pretty new duds.

I will be finding just the right way to photograph them soon so that I can share our creations with you.

lastly, I have to thank my beautiful momma for carrying the weight of the sewing burden while I spent the majority of my time with my foot elevated, or cutting out patterns.

no wonder everything turned out so well!

what I love most about these interiors is the use of color.

I am kind of a beige, greige, taupe kinda girl, but these images inspire me to use a bit more color here and there.

perhaps ill start with just a hint.

Victoria Bartletts' collection VPL is a modern look at old fashioned lingerie.

She provides those of us girls with a desire for interesting, beautiful and original clothing and underpinnings with a line that does just that. 

Each piece is sculpted out of interesting, often technical fabrics, that support, enhance and flatter a woman's figure.

this is a sneak peak at her most recent collection VPL A/W 2010
