Vintage Treasures.

I am spending a lazy Saturday morning with a cup of tea and the latest Inside Out magazine (bliss)...

I enjoyed a beautifully styled article on vintage treasures and thought I'd jump online and share a few lovely oldy-worldy pics I have found lately.

From a lovely blog I just found Sunday Collector

Classic Glamour.

I am experimenting with combining images that have similar aesthetics, in the spirit of Miss Moss and others.

Some lovely, gorgeous shots to ponder today and a few little Treadgold pieces thrown in as well. Have a great weekend all.

Art in Residence.

As part of my Artist in Residence series of posts - and as I contemplate the placement of artworks in my own home - I thought I'd share some gorgeous shots of homes where I think they have really nailed it.

Drenched in my favourite blues, greens and purples...

Underwater Dreaming.

A colourful little one for you today in my inspiration folder...coral is a wondrous thing. Even though only a few pieces in my collection are coral, it is wildly original and inspiring when working with natural stones and materials.

I knew I should have kept up with my snorkelling...

New Year Evolution..

The holiday period gives you that precious time and space to relax and let new ideas pop into your head. I have noticed many bloggers launching new post ideas for the coming year and it prompted me to look at what’s ahead for me in 2011.

After launching Treadgold to the online world last year, I am still discovering how this blogging caper works and as we all probably do, wondering who is actually reading my blog.

I am inspired by those who have been doing this a lot longer than me and share their lives and creative journeys online. Trying to balance a full time job with our creative pursuits seems to be a challenge shared my many.

To those starting out good luck and hopefully I can add something worthwhile to the mix in 2011...

I’d love your thoughts on how you have found the blogging journey so far?
