Surround Yourself With Things That You Love

In the design world, often bigger is better. Personally, I have always had a house that was full and my passion was organizing everything so that it stayed in it’s place. So when the KonMari method kept popping up in conversation and online, I shuddered. For some of us, minimalism is uncomfortable. But after reading the book, “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up”, and implementing her practice, I am indeed a convert. It isn’t about minimalism after all.

Marie Kondo believes that if we simply sort through our belongings and only hold on to items that “spark joy”, that we will be transformed, inside and out. She says there is no better feeling than “surrounding yourself only with things that you love.” The mental and physical clutter fall away, and you are left more aware of your truth- who you are and what fills you with joy.

As the summer season comes to an end and we begin to prepare our homes for the cooler indoor months, consider this: when you look around at the spaces you live in, does your artwork spark the joy in you? If not, it’s time to find art that does.

Latitudes Fine Art can create any of our images in any size and finish. It’s time to surround yourself with things that you love.

Our Earth Day – Little Things Make a Difference

We think about the earth every day around here! Sharing it’s wonder and beauty is what we are all about. I recently went to Santa Barbara’s Natural History Museum and saw a little acrylic box with jellyfish swimming around. On closer inspection I realized it was a display showing how plastic shopping bags look in the ocean. I was truly shocked at how bad of a problem this is for our sea life and for us.

Did You Know?

Each year plastic kills more than a million sea birds and 100,000 mammals and sea turtles who mistake it for food, such as jellyfish.
52% of sea turtles and 60% of sea birds have ingested some form of plastic.
Plastic toxins end up in fish, which end up on our plates, which end up inside our bodies.

The simple box of water with bags in it at the museum, really made me realize that even my occasional plastic shopping bag can end up in the ocean and harm our sea life. So when it was time to re-order plastic bags for the gallery, I set out on a quest to find something better. We are thrilled with our new reusable cloth bags and by the response so far, our Latitudes Family is too.

Unlock Your Heart

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. For some, that strikes fear in their hearts, instead of inspiring love. I propose we change this tradition. Remove the mandatory roses, chocolate and impersonal card, and instead, unlock your heart. It is that simple. So often we put expectations on our loved ones, like they can read our minds. Surprise! They can’t, and it sets us all up for failure. Why not set yourself up for success this year? Tell those you love, exactly what you need to feel loved and ask them to do the same. The answers might surprise you.

For me, words of kindness and simple gestures that remind me I was thought of, tells me that I am loved. For my husband of 15 years, it’s acts of service and small surprises. He isn’t one for extravagant gifts, but little love notes sprinkled throughout his day and going to his tool box to find it organized- that is what tells him that he is loved. This year I have given him a “14 days of love” banner. Each day is an envelope with a note, a small gift, an act of service, a date night, or a pre-arranged outing with his friends.

How do your loved ones know they are loved? Maybe it is about time you asked. We hope Latitudes Fine Art Gallery is part of the key to unlocking your hearts.
