new obsession

I have a new obsession.  Well, two actually.

Japanese paper tape.  And this photoshop action that I’ve been loving!

And how cool is this old camera that my brother-in-law found for me?  Like literally … found!  Thank you Craigie!

And do you love this awesome wood tape dispenser?  I found it here … not literally found, found … but purchased found.  And of course, some tape to go with it {and it’s on sale right now!} …

I’m contemplating my next purchase over here.

My word!  I’m lovin’ this stuff!!

Any other thoughts on what I can use it for?  Right now it mostly has the ‘cute’ factor for me … well that, and slowly turning into a ‘collection’ factor!

And … just because it’s my blog and I can post what I wanna …

Here’s a photo of my desk.  We had a dinner party last week and someone brought over flowers.  This image calmed me, so I captured it permanently and thought I’d share it with you.

Happy Monday everyone … I hope you find many blessings hidden in the week!

    That last image is so calming. I didn’t feel stressed until I looked at it and before I knew it, I was breathing deeper and feeling calm. Wow – what a powerful image!! Thanks for sharing it with all of us :-)

    The picture you have on your desk is incredible. I’m assuming that it’s of you and your hubby? Wonderful!
