For those of you that are new to Mocking Bird, take a look around and please feel free to join in on the conversation.

Things That Inspire Me:

Homes like Paris, Tuscany, Barcelona, Dublin, Tokyo, Sydney and Vancouver.

Places like cafes, french pattisseries, bookstores and outdoor markets.

Books and magazines of the interior design kind.

Fabrics and patterns in the clothes that I wear.

Details in architecture…windows, doors, lamp posts and street signs.

Films like Amelie, Stealing beauty, Science of Sleep, Vicky Christina Barcelona, Marie Antoinette and Lost in Translation and more currently Bright Star.

Music like Bjork, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, The Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear, Phoenix, Goldfrapp, The Big Pink.

Papery things like lined journals, new sharpened pencils, snailmailed letters, brown paper packages.

All Things French… Those who know me, know how obsessed I am with all things Parisian and yet I’ve still never been.

The end of a year, the start of a season, the beginning of an era, the end of a holiday all inspire me to change, to create, to make new.

Right now I’m most inspired to find a new place to call my own with empty rooms to decorate and furniture to place, to nest and feel safe.

My friends, my family, my Canadian.

And of course all the fabulous photographers and bloggers out there who inspire me everyday. What inspires you?

I now hand over to Jena of the wonderful blog Modish who will be sharing with you tomorrow. Check out these bloggers who are sharing their inspirations today:
