This photo reminds me of the fact that I learned while living in Florence, that no matter where you are in Florence, if you can see the Duomo, you can never get lost.

Oh how I love organization!

Also, hearing about the recent floods in Toscana and Liguria greatly sadden me, so I thought I'd share a few links with you. Here is an article by The Florentine (the English magazine published in Florence) about the flooding, and here is an article about the floods on November 4th, 1966, and here is a site that gives information about donating. You can also donate money direction to The Florentine, found in the second link about the floods from 1966, which is an easier way to donate than the directions listed on the Croce Rossa Italiana (Red Cross Italy) website.

Reading artwork, I always love it.

This past week or so I discovered that Aaron has never watched Dexter before, so we have set a goal to fix that. We are currently on season 2 and he's totally loving every minute of it, plus I'm enjoying re-watching them again. Reminds me of exactly why I love this show so much. 

Hocus Pocus has to be one of my favorite Halloween movies. Thank goodness it's almost Halloween and the perfect time to watch it!

Knitting inspirationg + great photography.
"A Chickadee In The Hand" by FastTrackPhoto (Quantis)
Claire Hummel's amazing Disney and reality inspired artwork

Little fact about me: I am majoring in art history and hope (fingers crossed) to become an art librarian (or something in that type of field) in the future, and when I found the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) site it got me so excited. Not to mention that they do art book reviews monthly on their website. Too cool. My geek-ness is showing!
ARLIS/NA book reviews
While looking for Chopin videos on youtube, I came across Yundi Li, an amazing Chinese classical pianist. He is known for being the youngest person to ever win International Frédéric Chopin Piano Competition in 2000, at only 18! I may not seem it, but I really love me some good classical music, and Chopin is top notch for sure. Check out this video of Yundi Li playing Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2.

I wish it got cold enough in southern California to wear stuff like this!
"BB Dakota" on Karma Loop
Love this outfit found on LOOKbook. I always wear dark colors/mostly black (not on purpose! It's just most of what I own in black) and I'm thinking maybe I should start wearing lighter colors like this.

Inspiration: Helen Rödel

I've never been much of a crocheter. In fact, to this day I'm still confused as to how to crochet, because I'm primarily a knitter, but after looking at Helen Rödel's work, I really want to learn how to crochet. Her work is amazing and watching videos of her talking about and working on her clothing is amazing. Makes me want to try to knit more clothing that is wearable. (Currently working on a chevron blanket for Aaron and I.) But anyway, Helen's work is wonderful. I highly suggest you check it out.
