I’m starting a new column here on The Crafted Life today called Get Inspired! Yahoo! So much of what inspires me to make comes from non-craft related sources that I think it’s about time I share that side with you. And what better way than with a new column?!

I couldn’t dream of this type of styling even if I had to! It’s clean, clever, and beautifully shot.

Sometimes the simplest photographs can be the most powerful. And I think we could all agree that peony season is much too short.

Not only is the styling and light for this image gorgeous, but the recipe also looks like it’s absolutely delicious! Cooking is not something I do very often (or very well), so I’m always blown away by those that can.
So what do you think?! What has been inspiring you lately?

Love this column! Excited to see what’s currently inspiring you!
Oh yay, so happy you like it Sarah! I’m pretty excited to have an outlet to talk about non-craft related inspiration :)
Talk about gorgeous photography!!! You find some of the most beautiful shots. Great new column idea <3
Yay, thanks Amy! So glad you like the new column idea. It’s so fun to play around with new ideas :)
How fun! I find food photography and awesome recipes totally inspiring too, though so far I haven’t had much success replicating either. :) Lately I’ve been really inspired by local events–Somerville is full of fun craft/art/music events, and seeing people doing what they’re passionate about is always so motivating!
You are SO right about local events! There’s something about seeing a community of people being active and supportive of others that it’s hard not to feel inspired. Somerville sounds awesome– I want to visit!
Yes! Visit!! :D
