Muse Margaret: December 2010

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 12, 2010. I'm assisting my brother-in-law (also a photographer) with a wedding in a few weeks, so we went out "shooting" together for a bit of practice. My daughter and sister-in-law were our subjects. We spent a 70-degree-California-December day at a beautiful park in Brea. Here are just a few of our pics. Sorry, MY pics (Ryan's are much better! This is Meg inside of a picture frame. We were trying for a something completely different than this. . . but she's five. Look at the freckles!

Muse Margaret: May 2010

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 31, 2010. Good Book, 3. I'm back to reading The Outlander. Series by Diana Gabaldon (I told you about it a few weeks ago- remember the time traveling woman? I will leave you with a favorite passage from book three, Voyager. I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment it lasted, thinking it strange and not strange that grace should find me here, too. Then the light shifted slightly, and the moment passed, leaving...

Muse Margaret: More Vintage Wedding Stuff!

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-vintage-wedding-stuff.html

Wednesday, July 27, 2011. More Vintage Wedding Stuff! Yes, I guess I'm on a kick. Here is a great fun idea from a super fun couple (who I follow on Facebook, Instagram and via their blog). This is Ron and Dominique, the genius pair behind Love Me Sailor. I was not disappointed, and you can see it all on the website of their chosen photography team, Joielala. The 50's theme was quirky and fun, and full of all the details we would expect from such an inspiring pair! Get ready to smile! This is my blog abou...

Muse Margaret: June 2011

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 30, 2011. Well, not tears. But a good deal of sweat and hard work has been poured into the creation of my new photography blog! I'm super excited to have a little functioning business happening now but I can always use an addition to my cheering section, so please stop by my photography site. Sunday, June 5, 2011. And here is Richard posing with my Meg with his hair down ("Mommy, his hair is longer than your hair! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hello, my name is Traci. A Swinging '70s-Inspire...

Muse Margaret: June 2010

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Only in New York, part 2. It's not that daisies don't grow in Southern California, it's just that they never grow quite as tall, full, strong and dominating as they do in New York (all right, they do it in other places, too- like in Colorado- but certainly not in my yard back home). Taken at Stone Barn Farms. They say it's good luck to have a butterfly land on you. Monday, June 28, 2010. Architectural Inspiration in New Jersey! Osteria Giotto in Montclair, NJ ( 21-23 Midland Ave.

Muse Margaret: March 2011

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 10, 2011. My last post was on December 12! And here it's March. Sigh . . . okay, but I think my preoccupation is pretty legit. In the last few months I have been spending very much energy developing and redesigning my photography blog, website and plan for business! Anyway, Muse Margaret is a blog about inspiration. My inspiration: I have enlisted the help of Shari (see her blog here. Who creates gorgeous, unique and fresh blog designs. She redesigned HamtonToes. It's funny how you can st...

Muse Margaret: September 2010

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 30, 2010. It's that time of year. . . go pick some vitamin C. Keep that old bugger of a doctor AWAY! Tuesday, September 28, 2010. I just love a good party! This was such a happy party, full of fun and joyful details, but take a gander for yourself, why don't-cha:. Here was the scene just before the chuck-line opened. I loved the red and blue checkered fabric that my sister bought in bulk. It became tablecloths and even napkins (my mom hemmed all of these napkins! Goodie bags are an in...

Muse Margaret: October 2010

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 7, 2010. Item #468 on my "I Want It" List. This chair is adorable. From the Re-Trouv辿 Collection designed by Patricia Urquiola (yes, that last sentence was copy/pasted, there's no way I could have figured out that symbol! I would like to have it. Do I need to say more? It's on Gilt.com right now marked down from $1,084 to $465. Still too steep for me but that's why I have the "I Want It" list. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Start with a Kernel. Who is that woman? An entire book does not appe...

Muse Margaret: Hello Friends

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2011/06/hello-friends.html

Sunday, June 5, 2011. In these last few months I've stepped away from this blog in order to concentrate fully on 1) my photography and 2) my growing, energetic and active five-year old (Who needs something to do every minute! I've missed this space in my life however, a little pocket of space which allows me to in some way organize my creativity that gets mushed up with the rest of busy life and often gets lost or forgotten. That's what this blog is about for me, and I've missed it! A Day to Celebrate.

Muse Margaret: July 2011

http://musemargaret.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 28, 2011. This is a quickie post- I have a few hours worth of photos to edit and do not deserve blogging! But this is worth it: Refinery29 has posted a list of the best home design websites and online magazines and I can't wait to study every last one. Some of these are already favorites of mine (The Shelby, Rue and Lonny are on my weekly list) but some are new to me or forgotten treasures. So here you go, get reading:.
