Queens Closet by Richard Cleaver

I am completely excited about this piece from the Delaware Art Museum: The Queens Closet by Richard Cleaver. I have always been a huge Tudor buff and this has got to be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Fascinated with history this artist creates elaborate cabinets to capture the lives and secrets of historical figures. King Henry VIII, famous for beheading his wives when they failed to produce a male heir, reveals portraits of his six wives when compartments are opened.

Trip to Terrain

Terrain was so incredibly amazing I have to share with you some photos that were taken (as well as my new favorite things). As my husband would say, this place preys on women, especially the crafty, nature-loving sort. Consider me one of them... also a huge thank you to my friend Joy for getting us there in the rain.

I ♥ Tea

A little inspiration for my tea-loving friends. I love these adorable teapots from Christine Misiak and the submarine tea infuser by Scott Beale is even more awesome.
