Erin: Gracious. This is one of the hardest questions for me to answer, because I feel so inspired by so many different things! But, if I had to choose, here are my top five inspirations, along with a few reasons why I think they're totally awesome:
1. Libraries
I love the smell of old books, new books and well, books in general. Although I have to admit, art/design books smell the best.
2. Rain
I love to write during a thunderstorm. Although I don't have a tin roof like in the movies, I still feel like I'm a bit of a star.
3. Portland
As in Portland, Oregon. OK, I've never been there. But because of aforementioned #2 and the bustling art community, I feel like I would love it. I often close my eyes and pretend like I live in a tiny bungalow there. Portlanders--- do they even HAVE bungalows in OR?
4. I.D. Magazine
I get so excited when this goodie arrives in my mailbox every two months that I have my own night dedicated to the action. I call my husband, scream "It's I.D. Day!" and he brings home Chinese food as I devour every inch of those beautifully laid out margins. It's quite possibly my favorite day of the bi-month!
5. Photography
When I'm feeling low on inspiration, I browse Flickr and choose some favorites depending on my mood. It's a fun game for me to play, and sometimes I have to 'unfavorite' my picks and wonder what exact state of mind I was in when I chose that, but most of the time, I love my favorites forever.

Wow, what a fantstic post! Erin has really set the standards high for guest bloggers to follow.
I am now daydreaming about being in a little hut with a tin roof, during a thunder storm, writing by candle light :)
Beautiful.
Yes, Portland does have bungalows!
Nice post Erin.
I don't have any more room to bookmark Blanket as an rss feed, but I just have to anyway.
These are great images! Erin, I love the layout and as a Portlander, designer, book lover and lover of rain...you've managed to blog about all things dear to me!
