the ministry of space

My husband recently came across the work of artist Matt Cusick (recently as in 15 minutes ago), and I’m so enthralled.  I used to attempt to make art like this, but was nowhere close to this level of skill and detail.  Below, a few of his collages from map and magazine cutouts.  I would love to own a piece!

I just love pretty things… always have, and always will.  It’s as simple and complicated as that.

I just ordered two of these pillow covers and am pretty excited about it.  I know you shouldn’t buy gifts for yourself before the holidays, but why does everything cute have to go on sale before the holidays?  It’s counter-intuitive!  Anyway, they are a little ridiculous, thus making me happy.  Everyone needs something that makes them smile!

Calming and energizing… I think I could do really great work here.

Happy December!  I love this 50’s ad for a pink Christmas.  One day when we have room for two trees, I am definitely going to have a themed tree. Husband, consider yourself warned.
