More photos from my Flickr favorites that inspire me. The month of May will be filled with beautiful things, happy things, and flowers.

I am particularly fond of Photo 14 of Graham Coxon and his daughter Pepper.

I am also, STILL, nuts about Whitney Smith Pottery, as shown in Photo 6. I’ve been wanting one of those dogwood cake stands (in robin’s egg blue of course, like this sugar and creamer set) for a while, and my want only increased by seeing a wee one at Meriza’s house last November. She has seconds sales sometimes, it’s always tempting.
