Monday In Motion...

Most people tend to dislike Mondays... I don't know why that is? 
Honestly...
I adore the being of a new week, another start to gather more inspiration, 
an arrival to new creativity!

{motivational jump-start}

Your work is going to fill a

larger part

of your life and the only way to be

truly satisfied

is to do what you believe is

great work

the only way to do great work is to 

LOVE

what you do

Nifty-Thrifty Finds

I have to admit... I do love going to our local thrift store! I find it relaxing... 

I might not always find something, I do not feel it was a waste of time,
and most of the time I get inspired just by looking around.

I did wish to share with you, over this weekend, these sweet findings.

I scored!

I can not wait to fill this up with my art supplies. 

I think having my supplies ready and available, is important.

I've seen this at Michael's for $24.00.

(I simply adore the inside pattern, but wasn't willing to pay that much for it.)

At the thrift store I paid $7.00!

An EASEL!!!

Are you kidding me... I just could not believe it! 

This is brand NEW.

I already have a standing easel, but I was wishing someday to own a table easel.

This will work perfect... for those days, I am not feeling well, but still wish to paint.

Retail price $79.99

I paid $16.00. Yes, I scored!!

Happy Monday!
