Bohemianism is the practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people, with few permanent ties, involving musical, artistic, or literary pursuits. In this context, Bohemians may be wanderers, adventurers, or vagabonds.

Doctor Watson has noted that Sherlock Holmes "loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul" and "remained in our lodgings in Baker-street, buried among his old books" He basically did "his own thing"*
*In Arthur Conan Doyle's first short story about Holmes for The Strand
I love the character of Sherlock Holmes but never thought of him as 'bohemian'. But the character was someone who had the ability to appreciate intricacies at a deeper level than most and didn't limit himself.
So I have come to the conclusion, that tho I don't necessarily dress in a boho style, I am certainly bohemian at heart! Another resource I read (sorry, don't remember where) said that the world is one's own creation, instead of living in a box. I always said, when was growing up that if you put me in a box, I would promptly jump out!
And I find that I do this from time to time with my creativity and with changes in my lifestyle!
So as a finish to this post, I am offering my latest creation to today's finds. Mine is definitely "out of the box"! And can be worn as a bracelet or a necklace! How's that for BOHO!
Oh, and it is available in my shop: AbigailJayneART.etsy.com Have a great weekend!!

I never thought of Sherlock Holmes as "bohemian" either, but now that I think about it he does solve crimes unconventionally. I guess I, too, am bohemian at heart :) Fun new necklace/bracelet!
Great post! Viva la vie Boheme!
Awesome post! I've often wondered what exactly qualifies as "boho" it makes for a very interesting read! Sherlock Holmes, who'd have thought it! Haha! I am a fan of both "boho" and Sherlock! :)
