Hey Everyone! This is a new series I am starting today called Inspiration Photo Friday. Every week I will post a photo that I hope will bring some inspiration your way. Even if it brings forth an emotion or helps to remember a memory that may have been buried, my job is done. All the subjects have obviously been of interest to me or I wouldn’t have taken a photo of them.

I hope you all enjoy this new series! Please feel free to comment about it and share your inspiration with all of us. I am looking forward to reading what you all think.

This is the first post in a new series where every month I will showcase my favorite shop and some of the items I love. This is also a great opportunity to get inspired by the beautiful photographs each of them show to present the items they sell. So make sure you check back on the first of every month for new shop of the month!

West Elm has always been a love of mine. Their products are modern, fresh and natural. Their minimalist style shown through the design of their products as well as their photography is like a breath of fresh air. You can find lots of inspiration in their catalogs, which are also smartly designed. I recommend you sign up for their mailing list.

Abby Berkson is a fine artist from Northampton, MA who has a BFA in ceramics. She has  taught ceramics to children as well as assisting Connie Talbot at High Hollow Pottery for a number of years before starting her own business. I love her pottery because its delicate, sincere and her color palette is dreamy. Look to her work for inspiration when planning a wedding or bridal shower as well as other various parties and events.

I have just recently put up a ton of new vintage style photographs in my Etsy shop and I feel they are great inspiration for design ideas. Even if the theme has nothing to do with yours, you can use the color palettes and whimsy feel most of them have. I wanted to share a few here that I think are a great foundation for unique decor for your special events and home. Enjoy!
