by christina britt lewis | photography by angela statzer this weekend is why we moved to north carolina.... windows and doors wide open, cool breezes making the new leaves make that rustling sound, birds singing so happily i have to forgive them for doing their business on the deck...and two days of sitting in the sun reading myquillyn smith's new book, remembering... it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. #idhtbptbb i would not know myquillyn if we had not moved to north carolina. and if i did not know myquillyn, i would not know angela. and if i did not know myquillyn and angela, my world would be less beautiful and i would not have these photos to show you. and if you give a mouse a cookie... after... in her brilliant and beautiful book, myquillyn quotes matisse who said... much of the beauty that arises in art comes from the struggle the artist wages with his limited medium. ...ohmygoodness that helps me understand why i love what we do. anybody can start from scratch and make a beautiful room. all you need is an empty room, a page from pottery barn or whatever, and a credit card. but what makes me and angela and kelly come alive is making beauty with what you already have and whatever budget is comfortable for you. this is our limited medium. there is so much beauty in what you already have... photos from myquillyn's book release party
and the thing she said when she came for dinner that changed my life forever tomorrow... happy sunday, beautiful people! xo... christina for all Comments are closed.
