why are all the good things too expensive...?

I am looking at designing my room officially! I say officially, because in it taking 2 months to adjust to the fact I have moved, and attempted to paint (still need to finish the ceiling), and really the only other things I have attempted is to hang some curtains and a few random items. I realize my room needs more final touches...

so i go browsing online to see what i can find.

p.s. i love pottery barn. i love anthropologie. and a new secret love for the apartment section of urban outfitters. here's what i'm looking for, and what my hopes of my new room/sanctuary will look & feel like. i'm excited to start a new... means so much more than just decor, but a place i can dwell, work, retreat, rest, and be creative with my creator...

O Christmas tree, o christmas tree...

I love birds, just about as much as I love them in trees. If you've seen my website, you would know that! One of my favorite verses is in the psalms: "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest"... I just feel birds represent "freedom + peace", and trees represent "home + place to rest"... so appropriately for this upcoming season of peace, i created a few vector images to share...I'll probably turn these into christmas cards, so feel free to use them if you'd like. enjoy!
