Surround Yourself With Books.

I love books. I love home libraries and bookshelves. Not only are they a practical way to display and store all your written treasures, but they can also be a wonderful home decorating feature. Whether it's color coding your books, placing them horizontally and vertically, adding some fabulous art, a personal token from a trip or a nice vintage collection... styling bookshelves is really about having fun and surrounding yourselves with things you like! For me is a given, every time I visit a home my eyes immediately are drawn to the bookshelves. Here a just few beautiful bookshelves I have found in my internet searches. G

Poem For The Day.

Come Closer – Joan Wiese Johannes

Heavy air wanders

around the corner of the barn

bends into evening

and staggers through the peonies

to meet me under the porch light

where dizzy moths flit

and midges swarm

around the naked bulb.

Tonight I wonder why

I once thought love darkens

too soon in June

when days are too long

and nights too eagerly late,

when stems grow spindly

weak from

too much too fast too soon.

A night-blooming blossom

luminous as the moon

reminds me of something

I should have done.

Artist Sandra Dieckmann

This artist is amazing! Her technique and work really appeals to me. Sandra Dieckmann is a freelance illustrator who lives in East London. Her work mainly evolves around nature and wildlife and is inspired by all that embodies childhood stories and half remembered fairytales, giving each piece an earthy deep-rooted feeling of forests and mystery. Her work eternally explores and expresses her personal love for drawing the creatures that roam this planet. I adore her simple yet highly detailed technique. Line has a large part in her work as she plays with various textures of line and each piece is highly outlined. I love the simply use of colour and the sytlised geographic shapes. Her work is amazing! G
