Tiny Worlds (Part 1) in Queen Anne

Happy Friday! Remember when we talked about inspiration? The sun in Seattle is (as silly as this sounds) a very inspiring source for creativity. On a walk yesterday, I couldn't help but notice tiny worlds developing in the smallest of places: a moss meadow, a valley of tiny foliage, a field of greens. I photographed a few of my old porcelain + plastic friends in some little environments around the neighborhood. I hope these Tiny Worlds--the start of a new series--will inspire you!

What worlds are in your backyard?

Inspiring Words from Ira Glass

Our dear friend Michelle shared this with us the other day, and the message resonated deeply with me. Leave it to Ira Glass to always put things into a perspective that inspires growth and encouragement. We're taking a little break today to edit a special video for tomorrow, so we'll leave you with this:
