These framed vintage Nicolas Markovitch, a.k.a. Marc watercolour prints are likely from the 1920s to 1940s. They left their Value Village lodgings and now radiate summery paradise sitting on my shelf!

Global Talent Search 2016 Prep
As seen on Facebook, I had enormous fun following the quirky prompts in preparation for the Global Talent Search, which starts next week! Eeeee! My answer to the Day 1 prompt is simply "water."
The Day 2 prompt made me hopeful for the future of seeing the golden Creatively Graceful logo silhouette on pretty products in creative stores!
Day 3 prompted one of those artist moments in which your fingers produce something that baffles your brain.
The Day 4 prompt made me remember the beauty of the colours I often overlook.
Finally, the Day 5 prompt concluded the week with sweet pastel cheer, metaphors, and diverse typography!

Sweet Vignette
A snapshot of a display on my shelf--I'm loving fruit and clear, splashy colour. If you get the "Go to England--make her smile" reference, you make me smile.
