i can't think of a more perfect way to end a wonderful pottery barn journal adventure than by adding this final sketch of a fabulous little garden bistro!
a quaint little bistro tucked away in a secret alcove somewhere (maybe even your back porch!).....with aromatic lemon trees growing out of ornamental clay pots, placed next to stylish chairs that are adorned with orange-stripey cushions to sit on. and it's all so inspiring, why not indulge in a special little drinkie (you know, the kind that comes in a special little wine-shaped bottle?!).
many of you have commented that you'd like to see this journal from cover-to-cover, so i made this video......you can watch it here in larger format, if you like!
thank you, pottery barn, for the many wonderful hours of enjoyment and inspiration you've given me in creating this special journal! and thanks to all of you bloggy sweeties for inspiring me to create the video!! xox

Apologies Lori for only just saying how amazing and beautiful your journal is (running bit behind this week), you are incredibly talented :)
I love this. You are so talented! I wish Pottery Barn would treat you to something special you highlighted in your journal.
I want to live in that Pottery Barn House! This is the most beautiful, creative journal--and such an original concept.
