This is where I'm longing to be lately. Yes, I'd love for the weather to be pretty and warm enough for drawing at the Factory Courtyard, but I'm also longing for quiet spaces, a less frenetic life. With that in mind, I'm going to take a break from all my blogs except for Letters To … Continue reading A Place of Quiet
