Or maybe it was “absolute power…” Anyway – that’s one of the very few quotes I remember from school – and I still had to look up who said it.
Speaking of Absolutely Beautiful Things – don’t you just love Anna Spiro? I’m obsessed with ABT and find her images and writing to be a true source of daily inspiration.
I particularly love her Friday Flowers:



She also indulges us with pictures of her own interior design work:



And of course, I find great inspiration in the paintings that she commissions for Black & Spiro:



That last one may be for herself though…
Everything from her color choices and love of textiles to her eye for art and flowers makes me want to move to Australia and beg to be her personal assistant. (Don’t know what she’d think of the three toddlers I’ve have in tow, but maybe we could keep them busy sorting fabric samples…)
Really – I just love everything about this site. Every day is a gem, and I’m never disappointed. If Absolutely Beautiful Things isn’t currently in your reader, add it today!

Great intro…thank you!
And those pretty little teacups are so sweet!
Oh the teacups. Color me inspired.
Louis chairs with bold patterns just kill me, everytime. ABT is definitely a standby!
