Your Inspiration in Lights

January 4, 2013January 4, 2013 / Alysia / 31 Comments

As most of you know I take special pride in putting together something particularly fun on Friday but lately I feel like I have fallen into a routine. I am most certainly not keeping it fresh or even fun enough which is why I chose the shelf above for my pick this week. This year is full of a lot of new things for me; such as a Masters level writing program starting Monday, don’t worry I will not slack on my blog, only my sleep. So taking a page out of that book (pun intended) I selected something a little more modern and outside of my comfort zone, the more I look at it the more I think you could make this special shelf work in any house that appreciates books. Happy Friday Everyone!

A Very Cozy Friday

December 28, 2012December 28, 2012 / Alysia / 5 Comments

The temperatures are dropping, the end of the year is coming and all I want to do is curl up in front of a nice warm fire-place and let my book take me away. In beautiful Colorado it has yet to hit above 32 degrees this week and while I love the beauty of winter I get tired of the constant shiver when the cold is not interrupted by the usual sunshine. It is time for a final dose reading and relaxation before a new, exciting and action packed year begins. Happy Friday Everyone!

Friday Greetings

The Holidays and the end of the year are coming and personally I could not be more pleased. A lot of great things have happened in 2012, this blog and all of your support being one of them. I just want to say Happy Holidays this Friday to all of my followers, thank you for all of your support.

Also how great is this tree for an alternative idea to a real tree, don’t know if I could ever go without the smell of a real evergreen in my house but I might be willing to risk it.

Friday Wonderin’

December 14, 2012December 14, 2012 / Alysia / 5 Comments

As the Holiday season quickly approaches I have been searching everywhere for fun and unique gift ideas. I came across this book chair and had two immediate reactions; how fun would that be and a great way to recycle old books, is there anyway that it is actually comfortable? I am torn, this would be a great piece to have in my home, but would I ever be able to enjoy a good book curled up on it? I am left wondering this Friday morning; what do you all think would it be comfortable? Happy Friday Everyone!

A Tepee in The Junipers

November 30, 2012November 30, 2012 / Alysia / Leave a comment

On a cool balmy morning the mist still covering the low laying hills, the separation of structure and nature is gone. Seamlessly the tepee has risen from the earth; creating a fortress only previously seen in fairytales. This is the type of place where a good book is meant to be written or read, it can take a person to another place. Happy Friday!

Friday in Finland?

November 16, 2012 / Alysia / 2 Comments

As I was cruising around the internet, yes cruising, looking for the perfect post for my favorite theme of Friday Dreamin’ I came across this gem. This is located in Finland where you can rent an igloo and literally sleep under the Northern Ligts, I can only imagine how beautiful that must be. I would love to do some writing under the window-roof with a sight like that playing out above me, Happy Friday Everyone!

The possibilities of Friday

November 9, 2012 / Alysia / 3 Comments

I don’t know what it is about Friday but the possibilities seem to be endless, much like this awesome free little library. I think a free little library should be in every neighborhood, a great way to share books and ideas. Happy Friday everyone and for my fellow NaNoWrimos I hope it is a productive Friday and weekend for those word counts.

Go with Simple and Beauty Will Follow

It is a very cold Friday here in Colorado which reminds me that November is soon upon us and all the time I had to prepare for NaNoWriMo is quickly disappearing. I picked this shelf because of its combination of simplicity and beauty, something I am going to have to remember in the upcoming weeks if I want to survive writing an entire novel in one month. Happy Friday Everyone!

A good idea is waiting above you

Happy Friday! I am gearing up to write in NaNoWrimo(an entire novel in just one month) and I am searching for inspiration everywhere, how nice would it be to always have it waiting above you. Keep on Dreamin’ it’s Friday after all.
