I'm thrilled to be participating in the Blog it Forward mash-up that was coordinated by Victoria of SFgirlbybay. If you haven't heard about it, some of my favorite bloggers are sharing their sources of inspiration throughout this month—check out the full mash-up schedule for more details. And with that, here's where I've been finding a lot of inspiration lately.
My new home state of Iowa and the fantastic relationships that I've built over the past 8 months.

Farm fresh veggies from my CSA and having relationships with the people who are growing the produce I eat for more than half of the year.

Baking and being inspired to enjoy the process and try new recipes.

Italian food, particularly a custard tart made and eaten with friends in Italy.
Pink flowers for their floral pink-ness.

Timeless and serene quilts by Denyse Schmidt.
My own quilts, which teach me the value of patience and show me the enormous payoff of working on something slowly for more than a year.
NYC, where flowers like this one grow and thrive, and are as life affirming as good friendships.
