Cocoa & Hearts

As you may recall, one of the goals on my 101 in 1001 list is to invest in my first piece of original art. You can imagine my delight when Jen of Made By Girl announced the opening of her art site, Cocoa & Hearts. Her paintings are colorful, modern, and simple in the best way possible. While her larger pieces are a fantastic resource for large-scale decorating projects, I'm most drawn to her 10" x 8" canvases, which retail for $95.
What are your favorite sources for original art? 

Quote Du Jour

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life."
Charles Dederich

I'm resolving to look to the future as opposed to lamenting the end of this chapter. Yesterday's graduation marks the beginning of my next adventure and I could not be more optimistic about what the future has in store for me. No matter where you are in life or what mood you find yourself in at the moment, let's all remind ourselves that today is a new beginning and we can make of it absolutely anything we like. 

Graduation Weekend

My family arrives tomorrow to see me graduate from Bucknell on Sunday. Where oh where oh where did the time go?
