Last VPF I got three from Asia. One of my "secrets" is, I flip thru interesting books at the library book sale to see what falls out -- that is where I found the bird pages inside a bird book! I have found some amazing things tucked inside books. Thanks for your lovely comment -- glad you enjoyed the post.Cappuccinoandartjournal.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241197153708410602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-162617861201617842016-08-22T18:23:56.433-07:002016-08-22T18:23:56.433-07:00Wow!

I love the idea of just browsing a little something creative and arty first thing in the morning, even if I can't commit the day to art-making. I am liking your bird theme, and can't BELIEVE you found handwritten notes from a BIRD COURSE for your themed collages; what are the chances?!? You definitely scored big with your snapshots and cursive postcards--always at the top of my list for the paper fair. I've NEVER seen a passport available; that's pretty darn cool. And what a lovely air mail themed journal cover; that IS a treasure!

And, you are so right, just do something and the ideas will come. My problem is I have so many ideas I can't keep up so I try to write them all down in case I run out....I have a number of different projects all going at the same time and that is why my table is always such a mess....<br />Thanks for the reading/listening tip -- and thanks for the comment too.

Lately, on my days off I've been putting chores and errands (and makeup, and meals) aside and getting right down to craftiness outside on my deck & it's been so awesome taking the time for myself. As I've been in a creative rut, I signed up for another online class and am working my way through that (Ever After), learning to draw and paint... it's giving me some ideas for future art, so it's been a good time investment so far. But really, I think the most important thing I've learned is that sitting down to DO anything is the best way to get things done - your morning ritual is definitely why you are so prolific. Priorities! Even when I "don't know what I'm going to make" I have to sit down to play and then I know things will come from it.<br /><br />I haven't read any good magazines lately, but I do listen to books and the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children series was a good one - I'm looking forward to seeing the movie in the fall.<br /><br />Hope you've had a wonderful weekend!tamdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727285004604363601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-56448999753320154512016-08-13T14:22:13.770-07:002016-08-13T14:22:13.770-07:00pmarti5 -- I really, really love it!

Big news stands are sadly missing from San Francisco but i happen to be going to one outside the city tomorrow and I will look for it. I do get Uppercase night up on my corner. I enjoy Somerset Studio sometimes too. WOW You have a whole collection of all the Selfridge mags? Can I come over for a cuppa and browse? Mail coming?

It's a quarterly British - & very pricey - magazine but it's fabulous & worth every farthing! I have every copy since the first one. The illustrations are to die for. <br />Selvedge & Uppercase are my favorite magazines for inspiration & beauty. Mail coming to you soon!

I have tried doing art first thing but then I don't want to stop which means I don't go out for a walk. If I don't get out first thing in the morning in this heat, then I won't do it later. So, I try to be good and walk first, then art. So good to know about your birding interest - new ideas for Rolodex and file card art for you. As always, thanks for a fun, interesting, envy-inducing post!cjsrqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972774317519625409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-49031614420516461922016-08-09T23:00:59.967-07:002016-08-09T23:00:59.967-07:00i love anything mailart related... so i can tell y...i love anything mailart related... so i can tell you i was drooling over this post! once i ordered a box of old photos on ebay, because i also find it easier to take pics from strangers than from Family for some Projects.<br />love that cover of the Journal and of course the old postcards!<br />i also did the cyanotype process before and just love the results... but currently i´m into sun printing. gives a broader choice of Colors. and is so easy.<br />have a nice summer, Pamela!johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236665096059653348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-71650896168003213432016-08-09T15:42:53.806-07:002016-08-09T15:42:53.806-07:00Thanks, Erika -- you should see the whole altered ...Thanks, Erika -- you should see the whole altered passport collection I've been working on if you like that one....I send a lot of people on trips!
