Being a Kansas girl, I see lots of barns, but I still took note of all the pretty ones on my recent trip to Illinois. With each, I imagined what a great studio they would make… with room for workshops below, and sleeping lofts above… Some women dream of large beautiful homes…. give me a barn studio!

This one has both dormers above, and a nifty little open space underneath!

Look at the size of this one! And I always have a soft spot for the fun little cupolas on the top. The child in me can imagine having a little lookout post up there…

Being a Kansas girl, I do NOT see many bridges, at least not BIG bridges! On this trip I crossed the Mississippi River, the Missouri River, and the Illinois River, plus countless other smaller rivers.  So many rivers, and so many bridges!  What I love is how different the bridges were, each had their own architecture and personality.

All of the geometric shapes made me think of stencil designs, cool abstract collages, and stitching patterns.  So much inspiration!

    Oh wow, I thought we were the only ones that had that arch bridge where I live, but there’s one that looks almost the same! I love love love driving under those arches – ours are golden yellow and on a sunny day it is like being on a cloud in the sky. xoxo
