Thanks to a tweet by Modish Blog I found this great little source of inspiration.  It’s a great post about the realization that you are the only thing keeping yourself from doing the things that interest you.  For anyone who has ever seen something amazing and thought, “oh, I could NEVER do that,” head over to Modish to see if you can relate.  I know I can!

I love, love, love these!  Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.  Wouldn’t they be a great way to add both drama and whimsy?!
