On a lazy Saturday morning when you’re lying in bed, drifting in and out of sleep, there is a space where fantasy and reality become one. Are you awake, or are you dreaming? You see people and things; some are familiar; some are strange. You talk, you feel, but you move without walking; you fly without wings. Your mind and your body exist, but on separate planes. Time stands still. For me, this is the feeling I have when ideas come.

Hi Frances! Just wanted to let you now that your photo of those cute rain boots on the subway started me on a treasure hunt!! My daughter and I have been looking everywhere for these cute boots and apparently we are going to have to resort to purchasing them online. But thanks alot for the idea!! We’ll get them from somewhere…Have a great weekend!

what a wonderful quote and great photograph, the image really reflects that inbetween time in the morning. I am working through a book called The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron and one of the main tasks you have to do is ‘morning ages’. This is where you get up and write 3 pages of thoughts first thing in the morning and it seems to let your ideas filter through. Happy weekend. Laura

When I wake up on a Saturday morning my first thought is to go back to sleep, followed by the sudden realisation that I’m late for work!
