Inspiration

Today I stumbled upon this lovely website, by my favorite store anthropologie. Lets just say I could spend all day on this site! Its basically all the ideas, inspiration, art, whatever that inspires the people at anthropologie.

I found this trailer for this documentary on 5 women artist, and now I am dying to see it! check out the trailer. I am half tempted to just buy the documentary, since I already looked at the libraries and its not there. boo. I love this stuff!




Other things that are inspiring me right now, The Wexner Center in Columbus has an awesome Luc Tuymans retrospective showing right now. If you are in Columbus check it out. I love art that makes you think, and I love how subtle and unassuming it is. And of course I love this one because its a bunny!

.What is inspiring you lately?

That website is so right for you. :) I'm glad you found it. As for what inspires me...I find that these days, I find inspiration in other people--especially children. Children see the world so differently from adults. Sometimes, it's inspirational to look at the world again the way they do. Baby Peter is constantly amazed at what is around him and he's constantly learning. I think we should be too.

I have always gained inspiration through words too. I listened to a conference talk again and the speaker said that sometimes we are "delivered in stages." I loved how that was worded because I feel that is what is happening in my life right now. Sometimes things aren't 100% better all at once. Instead, the Lord delivers us from our trials little by little, line upon line, in His own due time.
