Sometimes I catch a glimpse of something cool and think, “Ooo, something shiny.”
Translation: something super-cool and creative.
I’d like to be able to share these things with you, and what better place to do this than my blog?
I thought I’d better come up with a name that reminds us that we deserve all the cool creative stuff we could possibly want.
Here’s this week’s round-up:
Smash The Patriarchy Wreath by Grace Chin
No description needed, because it’s obviously one of the coolest things ever created. Clearly everyone needs one of these. I’m not usually into smashing things, but honestly, I am on board with this. Read more about it in Grace’s Etsy shop. Be sure to favorite her shop while you are there.
Big Magic, Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert
I will be honest with you. I’m not afraid much any longer. But I will read or listen to this anyone because Elizabeth Gilbert is cool. Just watch her TED talk if you don’t believe me. And for the record, I did not love Eat, Pray, Love, the book, but I did like Eat, Pray, Love, the movie. And I appreciated it more on the second watch. So, go, Liz Gilbert!
Evan Carmichael’s J.K. Rowling’s Top 10 Rules For Success
This one is free, folks, and definitely worth watching. I really like Evan’s idea to round-up clips of the most inspirational quotes from successful people. I found J. K. Rowling’s tips to be particularly moving, since I’m a writer. And if you have not had a chance to watch the movie based on her life story, I thought Magic Beyond Words: The J. K. Rowling Story was worth checking out. You can find it on Netflix or on Amazon.
Felt Ball Garland In Autumn Colors
I originally ordered this garland for my daughter for her bedroom, but I’m not sure if she is going to get it back because it is so darn cute! This garland is currently on sale and ships from Lithuania. Ours arrived fairly quickly and shipping was reasonable. See it on Mellsva’s Etsy shop and below in our home. If you think felt ball garlands are as nifty as I do, then favorite her shop.
Okay, well that’s enough inspiration for one day, don’t you think?
Let me know if you like anything you see, and I’ll be back with more eye candy soon!
