blog it forward. {inspiration}.
Did you check out the first round of Blog It Forward participants yesterday? Danni of the wonderful site Oh, Hello Friend started off my group. If you’re new to Mixed Plate, welcome! I hope you’ll enjoy it here it and will stay for a while.
What inspires you? It can be difficult to narrow it down to just a few things. I mean, that’s part of the reason I have Mixed Plate. There’s so much inspiration out there that I keep it cataloged here where I can share it with you all. To pinpoint what inspires me was tough, but here is what I came up with…
Colors. All sorts of pretty, happy colors…

via Color Me Katie
via Oh Happy Day!

I noticed there’s lots of food above. Which I guess would mean that I am inspired by pretty things people cook and bake.
Office and art supplies {vintage and modern}…

via B-Kay
via Lisa’s Collection a Day

Interesting home design and decor…
via Freshome
via Decorology
via Something’s Hiding In Here {really, I love everything they do}
You know I love paper {especially letterpress}. But I really adore the people that are still making magazines and keeping print alive…
I enjoy perusing beautiful photos…

Some of places I wish I could visit…
via Irene Suchocki
via Rebecca Plotnick
via Brooklyn Museum
via Melanie Hillier
I’m absolutely inspired and each day is brighter because of her {she’s magical}…
via Color Me Katie
And, of course, anything that reminds me of home. I miss Hawaii…
via dawneday
via Keola
I am also inspired by the people I meet each day, my family and friends, music, fashion, animals {especially dogs}, typography, packaging design, independent artists and designers, small businesspersons, and anyone who wants to make this world a better place. You know, just to name a few.
Please continue to check out all of the blogs. Tomorrow Manvi of Mochatini will be continuing our blogger mashup. I can’t wait to see what inspires her!
ps – thank you again to Victoria. I can’t imagine how much work it must have been to organize 300 people {although it’s a guarantee that she received more emails than just the 300 of us!}. I really appreciate you putting this project together. Also, thanks to Ez for our adorable badges and Hijiri for the helping to create the special Blog it Forward page!
In case you missed it, others that helped kick things off yesterday include sfgirlbybay, Creature Comforts, Hula Seventy, Paper Pony, Design for Mankind, Ink on my Fingers, Poppytalk, Heart Fish, Smile and Wave.
