I found the most wonderful book; “a life less ordinary” by Zoe Ellison and Alex Legendre.
I tried not to buy it, really I did… but as I walked around Anthropologie attempting to talk myself out of it, I knew it was futile.
This book is bursting with inspiration. There are hundreds of photos of everyday objects; string, rocks, old photos, plants; just bits and pieces of stuff, but it all looks so interesting. I don’t completely understand why the images are so compelling but they are. Even a photo of the book is inspiring…
This metal butterfly clings to a framed piece of rust which is hanging in the hall of our condo.
We bought it at a flea market, came home, hung it up, time passed, and now I hardly see it anymore. So I thought I’d honour it by making it my TT submission for this week. Clearly, I need practice!
For some reason, this post took me forrreeever to write, and I’m late to the party, again!!

Beautiful, i love this sepia tones !
nice to take notice of something ‘ordinary’ to you.
Barb that book DOES look so compelling! Some books are just like that and I end up buying them for that reason too. Just need the time to pull out all the inspiration they have to offer, and do something with it. Lovely photos today and your words! Have a wonderful week!
The book does look inspirational. I know that feeling of trying to resist the tug to buy something…not easy and I usually give in!
Uh-oh! That book has my name all over it! I shall have to visit Anthropologie first chance I get. {Always dangerous!}
Thanks for sharing about that book, and will have to check it out. Your butterfly and processing is lovely!
So glad you shared this. I havent been into that store in ages. Maybe this winter sometime and I too will have a look. Thanks for posting.
Now I have to go to Anthropology :( ! Also love the sepia tone to your butterfly pix.
Inspiration is an individual thing and can come from anything from a magazine, book, store ad. (I love American Eagle for ideas for senior pictures). Anthropology always inspires me with their displays as well as merchandise.I’m glad to read that I’m not the only one who tries to talk herself out of purchases.
I joined the late club too. LOL Love the look of both shots.
This looks wonderful, Barb! And thanks so much for sharing the inspiration – I guess I have to take a look into that book :-)
