alternating checks of red and cream
Attended an afternoon event aptly named 
at the beautiful Fall River Public library
in Fall River, Massachusetts.
Three talented staff members recited the poetry and short stories of Poe,
this gothic poet born in Boston, MA...
David Mello performed and read "The Tell Tale Heart"
How powerful, incredible and convincing in this role, well done...
all at the library for free...
So Happy Birthday to Edgar Allen Poe
1.19.1809
thanks...
After listing new items on my Brayton Cottage shop 
Fur, faux or real,
on the catwalk...
on the street...
on stars such as Angelina...
remember
please check out my shop
What inspires you?
Long after I posted about inspiration boards I have been wanting to make one. I make design boards for my client so why not make one for for my ideas and wishes.
So here are my inspirations~ fresh flowers always around the house, continued family meals around the table with great conversation, get back to knitting, etc.. Not all are literal translations of the photos but a feeling or emotion.
Maybe you have noticed I recently opened a second shop called BRAYTON COTTAGE, where all treasures are in shades of wondrous white. A clean new and fresh way to start a new year. Has been a challenge making the white objects look interesting and stand out. What do you think so far?
Thrilled to be another treasury in this second and new shop. Thanks JudyRuth.
Happy New Year!
hope you had a great New Years Eve...
that you were the life of the party...
and then start your resolutions
