Wisdom on Wednesday - the british edition

One of the things I find inspiration in for life, whether it's the good  or the bad; are quotes by people who, generally speaking, have a little more experience in life than me. Or just in proverbs, lyrics or books. Three quotes from british people, just because there's a little London trip ahead. All are photos are taken by me unless otherwise stated and of course quotes/lyrics used belong to the people quoted.

Poet and playwright William Shakespeare. Went to the piece: Much ado about nothing last week. Loved it. 

British musician Jamie Cullum rocks live. I assure you. 

J.K. Rowling writer of the Harry Potter series. I confess I did NOT read them all. Shame on me. 

Wisdom on Wednesday

One of the things I find inspiration in for life, whether it's the good  or the bad; are quotes by people who, generally speaking, have a little more experience in life than me. Or just in proverbs, lyrics or books. Enjoy! All are photos are taken by me unless otherwise stated and of course quotes/lyrics used belong to the people quoted.

Wende Snijders is a Dutch singer (if you have a chance to catch her live: you're in for a treat!). This song of hers is a fav of mine.

This one put a smile on my face when I found this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt (yes, indeed wife of...). The photo was taken in Taiwan in 2011, when I first saw Palm trees (or something like it), for the first time in my life.

This quote by Canadian Charles Templeton  is a reminder for me every once in a while. The photo was taken in dome of the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome in 2009 I think.

Scrapbook Saturday: inspiration from print -Part II

Saturday is a day for creativity. Painting, craft, dance, drawing, painting, design, photography or diy projects. Last week I shared with you the first part of print-inspiration; as promised: part II.

The past week I browsed through:

• Glamour (part 2, check for international websites the footer of the webpage). 
• National Geographic (April's issue...no comment)
• National Geographic Traveler (3/2012).
  

Travel, music and even some DIY-inspiration!

Scrapbook Saturday: inspiration from print -Part I

Saturday is a day for creativity. Painting, craft, dance, drawing, painting, design, photography or diy projects. This week is more of an inspiration (well, that's what I hope it is for you) post. First of two or three parts, depending on time and real life happenings (so, see you next week(s)?!).

I have this bunch of magazines that are waiting for me to make some time for them. Finally did so today: reading bits & pieces and just browsing and looking at the images.

Love sharing with you my bits of inspiration and dreams that I drew from those printed magazines (and I'm very curious about your favorite and most inpirational magazines)!
The magazines in part one (mos of them are in Dutch, since I'm from the Netherlands, if possible, of course I give you an English link too):

• Inside (which is actually the program of the EO Youth Day 2012. And information in English), 
• CJP-magazine
• Glamour (part 1, check for international websites the footer of the webpage).
