So very excited!

 

Hey guys! I'm so very excited to be hosting my first overnight art retreat! We have art journaling workshops, yoga, meditation and more lined up for the very last Friday and Saturday in May. Thanks to the generosity of the two woman leading the yoga and meditation, I've been able to offer scholarships and discounts.

It's been over a year since I hosted my last workshop, so I'm going to be spending the next couple weeks brushing up on new techniques to share. All materials, supplies, and meals will be provided--guests just need to bring their own tent and sleeping arrangements! Space is limited, so I encourage you to register asap!

Notes and Things

Hi. Hi there. I've been wanting to start blogging again but where do I pick up after being away for a couple months? With a collection of random thoughts, news, and links of course!

1. Those are my sheer pink curtains above. They make everything pink in this room.
2. Nourish Interactive has some fun (read: free) kiddo printables.
3. One of my favorite mixed-media artists Sarah Ahearn Bellemare is offering her Painted Pages Workshop again. I neeeeeed.
4. Hey! I'm getting new glasses tomorrow! It's only been three years.
5. All the Monday links you need: Anne Helen Peterson's Pre-Christmas Media Consumption List.
6. News site I've been obsessed with: the Cities section of The Atlantic.
7. Read about The Hidden Mother by Linda Fregni Nagler (can also be filed under: Today in Kinda Creepy History).
8. Bitch has put together their 200th mixtape for your enjoyment. Thank you, Mother Christmas.
9. The Vintage Ephemera section of Voices of East Anglia is a treasure trove of delight.
10. Is anyone else thinking of New Year's resolutions/goals/promises yet? I've got three things I definitely want to do come January One: keep a daily journal; continue developing the two workshops I have lined up for 2014; and read more fiction. I am a lady of leisure.

Hello again!

Hey guys! I was in the mood for something fresh. My old blog My Indie Charlotte, has brought me lots of great things, but the title of the site had been irking me for a while. It was started in 2010 when I was a little more keen on the word "indie."

This may sound silly, but because I felt tied to the phrase "indie Charlotte," I was subconsciously censoring myself to ensure I was still fulfilling that lifestyle in almost every post. I'm so naive! I'm going to be 30, y'know...

I'm glad to be here. Brooke is far out is based off my social media handling @brookeisfarout and my etsy shop that is never stocked: Cosmic Ephemera.

Thanks for joining me here!

P.S. This was my original banner before I scaled it back a bit. I'm going to be 30, y'know.
