Treasures by Louise

Big News! I've updated my blog name to match our Etsy Store: Lily and Jasmine's Treasures. The blog will be in transition for a while, as I am launching a line of earrings and other jewelry onto our Etsy Store. We will alwa ys include some vintage, and add in jewelry, as time allows. Fall is such a creative time for me, as the weather cools, and I am inspired by the colors of fall. Here's some beautiful September color from a local garden: Lantana Wouldn't these shades make a colorful and beautiful necklace ? Or I'd love to see them used in a quilt.

Here's another work-in-progress: a whimsical approach to adding the creative touch in your projects. This is a re-purposed pepper mill that I imagine as a way to "sprinkle on" the inspiration. What colors would you fill it with? What inspires you to create? And how do you work around those creative blocks that happen on occasion?  

I love to find inspiration in seasonal colors. I have created two (!) new spring treasuries of beautiful greens. If you are new to Etsy, treasuries is a way of liking a group of items that all belong to a theme. I don't include my own items in a Treasury, just beautiful things from other sellers. Check out all my favorites. Etsy.com/treasury Beautiful-inspiration   Etsy Treasury: More Spring Inspiration
