One thing I learned about the Florida Keys is that the people down here LOVE color and they aren’t afraid to use it! I mean seriously, I think I took more pictures in 9 days than I have in my whole life – inspiration was everywhere and it was awesome. So, of course I wanted to share it with you!
Here goes:
Reds and blues were everywhere. I think this color combo just may be my new obsession.
Even Ross’s fishing gear was beautifully bright and inspiring. (I never though I would call a fishing lure beautiful.)
Piles of junk on the side of the road were screaming with color. Everything was perfectly imperfect and I loved it all.
Inspiration. It was everywhere.
Guess what I learned from The Keys?
Color. Use it. Embrace it. Love it.
The art is amazing. Pure talent.
The most beautiful things in The Keys are in nature. Be inspired.
It’s official. I am going to have to make a funky sign for my yard.
Color. Use it. Embrace it. Love it.



















































ok I just have to tell you that I love all the vibrant colors you use in your projects….GorGEous!
Did you make the little pennants you use in your gadgets and header – love them! I'd like to do something kinda similar – would you share how you did it or where you got them?
happy summer (almost!)
