And the winner is.........

We loved all the comments on where everyone finds their inspiration. There were some interesting ideas. We definitely agree that blogs, flickr and Pinterest are major sources of inspiration. We also find inspiration from fabric, books (especially Japanese craft books) and children's illustrations. Here is some of our recent favs from Flickr.
