Hi. How are you? I’m doing well and I’m looking forward to sharing some inspiration with you today. Enjoy!
Whale Tails Shadow Puppet Set from Orange Moon Toys’ Etsy shop
This is a really beautiful shadow puppet set. It would be fun to make up whale tales and use these cutouts to tell stories to friends and family. The Orange Moon Toys Etsy shop is full of detailed puppet sets.
Honestly, I have no idea what this is, but I like it. I think it’s from 1937. The “A” in “PARIS” is fabulous. The the cartoon-y snakes are funny, especially compared to the more realistic lion roaring from inside the “O.” (via Agence eureka)
These are pretty neat-o, huh? You could really design a room around books covered with these cool designs by Book City Jackets. I like the idea of using a book cover with a descriptive word (like fiction). (via Sub-Studio Design Blog)
This sand animation is beautiful and emotional. The artist, Kseniya Simonova, is the winner of Ukraine’s Got Talent, and she’s telling the story of what happened to the country during WWII. The Guardian explains that
Ukraine lost one in four of its population during the Second World War, the largest losses of any country and about 20% of the total deaths.
Simonova’s sand story portrays the human loss after the German invasion in 1941.
Simonova’s got a rare talent. (via Viola Moriarty)
Today’s question: When’s the last time you covered a book? I used to have to cover books in middle and high school, but I don’t think I ever covered one that I owned.

Lost In Thoughts is a weekly series. I started this feature because I’m inspired by the amazing things I see on blogs and Etsy, and by family, friends, readers’ comments, and life. I don’t want to keep all of these wonderful finds to myself, so I gather them together on Thursdays to share with you.
