spare me your dirty looks

hello lovelies!

after sitting in the car for 8 hours, i'm finally home. thoroughly exhausted with a sore bum. while away, i managed to get a bit of a tan! (i say a bit because i hardly ever tan. it's only recently that's i've started 'bronzing' instead of burning.) i now have a healthy glow, and my freckles are becoming more and more prominent.

while in gloucester, my family and i went to the rocky neck art colony. it really is an artists colony. walking around, you pass a gallery every few buildings. i was in heaven!

my favorite gallery was definately one called imagine. the owner/artist is brenda malloy. all her work is incredibly original, and exactly my style. she wasn't there when i first entered the gallery/shop, and my brother noticed that she had the honesty policy going on. there was a basket, and if you bought something, you put the right amount in the basket and wrote what you'd bought. she completely trusted people she's never met. doesn't that make you want to trust the world?

anyways, before she showed up, i decided to write her a note about how inspiring she was and how i loved all her work. and then she walked in, so i stopped writing and straight out told her!

this is her studio. it's actually part of her shop!

and this is an example of her type of work. it's all about peace and love.

some of her work had shells attached, and she said that she just used anything she could find around, and made it artistic!

there was another artist i liked, diana pasquariello. her things were good, and i fell in love with one piece. i couldn't find any of her work online, but you'll have to take my word for it!

and finally, the first gallery i went into, kathleen gerdon archer, was of photographs. her work was incredible, but sadly, none of the ones i liked best are on her site. i didn't realise she was an artist as well, but i quite like this one painting!

so... here's the thing; i'm absolutely exhausted, and i'm sure this post is hardly making sense. here's what i'm going to do... i'm going to go to bed, and sleep in (first time this whole week! we've been up at 8 every morning...), then come back and double check this post even makes sense. after, i'll catch up on reading the posts by the blogs i follow since i've been gone. and after that, i'll tell you about my amazing buys today, as well as having a psychic reading. (i don't know how you word that... i had a psychic reading/i went to a psychic reading/i witnessed a psychic reading... well, you get the idea.)

so for now, goodnight dears! i hope everyone has had an amazing week, and sleeps very well tonight.

xxo.
