this is home, part 2

back in august i wrote about a lovely little project called, this is home. the project invited people to submit inspiring phrases based on the concept of "home". viewers were then invited to create an art piece inspired by a submitted phrase and people would vote for their favorites. the finalists would have their designs included in limited edition postcard packs which were recently released and are available for purchase from the this is home etsy shop.

cute!

the mountains & the trees

I just discovered the loveliness that is the mountains & the trees, also known as Jon Janes. Janes seems to be a bit of a one-man-band often accompanied by the valleys & seas orchestra, a collective of friends with instruments. He also happens to be from my home province, the beautiful and rugged, newfoundland and labrador. This is what grabbed my attention at first, then it was the song "goodbye little town". It is the sweetest little song i've ever heard about lovin' and leavin' and made me homesick in an instant.

check him/them out on myspace or itunes.

"...so goodbye little town, so pretty by the sea. wasn't what you said, or anything you did, this time it's not you, it's me..."

this is home

This is Home is a recently launched project that i stumbled upon via booooooom. Described as "a visual exploration of the concept of 'home,' across continents, oceans and neighborhoods", the project allows anyone to submit inspiring phrases or pieces of art which will be posted on the site. Viewers can vote for their favorite piece and the finalists will receive their design in a limited edition postcard pack. Amazing.....

If home is where the heart is, where is yours?
