inspiration: vintage carnivals & the circus.

I am a hugely visual person.
Photographs inspire me on a daily basis.
I would love to share my inspirations with you,
and then the following week I will share
what I created from these inspirations.

Want to play along?
Link up at the bottom of this post and share what inspires you.
I would love to see! :)
It can reflect my topic for the week, or use your own inspirations.
Use your inspiration photographs that week in a creative way,
and we will all share what we made the following week.
Fun, creative, and a bit of a challenge each week.

In the past few weeks, I have been inspired by:
wedding dresses!
bows!
the color yellow! & ruffles!
I am working on items that I have made after being inspired by these things! Stay tuned for more of my creations.. I am so excited to share them with you. ;)

This week, I am inspired by
vintage carnivals & the circus!


{i adore this quote... so beautiful!!}

And the idea of vintage carnivals remind me of the new movie coming out with Reese Witherspoon & Rob Pattinson....



Cannot wait to see Water For Elephants!! I haven't been this excited for a movie in quite some time! :)

Happy Thursday, xo!

a vintage atlas = love.

{vintage atlas pages found here}

Andrew adores maps.
He pours over the vintage atlas I bought him,
he is constantly drawing treasure maps for himself,
and he loves learning where places are located.

And now that we got a cute vintage globe as well,
it got me thinking...
I wanted to indulge his map-loving side,
and incorporate some of it into his bedroom.


I simply love the room above.
Isn't it perfection?!
I think the map hanging behind the bed is genius.
From a design standpoint, it looks amazing.
And from an educational standpoint, what could be better to add to your child's room? He will constantly be looking at it and learning, and it is so darn cute at the same time. :)


I also love this lampshade that is covered with a map!
Wouldn't it be great to cover one with vintage maps,
or possibly maps from where you live or where you have traveled?
Some place special to you or your child?

I will keep you all posted with my map-making progress.
Photos of Andrew's cozy little room are going to follow very soon as well!
