What Inspires You??

What is that one purchase that you have a hard time saying no to? For some people its shoes; others it might be bags and purses; but for me; It is definitely blankets and decorative pillows.. I just can't pass them up!

I received this little nugget in my inbox yesterday, (Yes, you got me; I am also addicted to Pottery Barn!) I adore these new blankets, the colors are so clean and just yummy! They are just inspiring to me, and I am thinking, Paperset! The colors and patterns would make such wonderful paper! In fact I was kicking some ideas around last night; Although I am not finished yet, I just loved the little kick start these blanket gave me; and I am wondering what inspires you?

My good friend, Jen, also posted this question on her blog.. For me; I am definitely a visual person, although I haven't always been. So I am inspired by colors and patterns and textures; Images. When I am stumped for paper or layout ideas I usually check out my favorite stores online; like Anthropologie; Potterybarn or Pier 1. There is ALWAYS something there to peak my interest and I haven't been disappointed yet. So, What inspires you?
