She's A Brick...House.

This is an amazing screenprint! I love the orangey / pink sunset. And the detail of the brick house is stellar. More awesomeness in Bree, Ree's Etsy shop.

Playing with fire

My apartment sports a non-working, fake fireplace. Ironically, this is good news--because for some reason I've been afraid of fire since I was a kid. Actually, it's more like a fear of really high heat. But fire will make me tremble a bit too.

Maybe it all spawned from touching a hot sauce pan as a kid and burning my hand. After the burn was treated and the wound healed, I remember thinking our stove was a death trap. And ever since that incident, my fear has slowly morphed in to a fear of actual fire.

To this day, I shy away from burning fires and high heat--so cookouts, bonfires and even backyard fireworks hijinks are a bit scary. I've gotten over the stove phobia now--maybe these lovely items will help me conquer my other fire/heat-related fears...

Gray=Blue

The sky is really gray today--so gray that you're almost forced to imagine what a blue sky actually looks like.  In an effort to jog my memory a bit, I searched for some "blue" inspiration on Etsy.  Now I remember!
