Dreaming of Morocco

I'm dying to go to Mococco! I've seen some amazing photos taken there lately and it really appeals to me. The architecture, patterns, fashion, everything. It looks so exciting and I would love to go there sometime.

Sandra of 5 inch and up have been posting some amazing photos from a market in Essaouira and I can see myself spending hours browsing the stalls if I ever were to go.

Holly Becker of Decor8 was also in Morocoo recently and her focus is on the interiors which look like something out of an exotic fairytale. Hopefully Mococco will be one of my future vacation destinations but for now I'll just continue drooling over these pictures.

EDIT: I had to temporarily pull this post after learning about the horrific bombing that occured in Morocco the other day. Bombing aside these pictures are delightful and I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.

Drawing Holly

This is a quick sketch I did of Holly, the writer of the wonderful and addictive Decor8blog. I read it every day and it has greatly influenced my view on decorating and loving your home. Holly is very pretty and she recently posted a wonderful wintery photo of herself that I had to draw. This might not be the only time I try it though, as I'd love to draw it in another style as well.
