‘The other day I watched our daughters play for hours with an old lace tablecloth, I watched it became many things…

A picnic…

A dress…

a magic curtain hanging from their bedroom door,

a walkway into their own believed possibilities…’

yes yes yes

You are pure magic, every piece feels like the most beautiful concoction of soulful exploration. Yes overhead lights are a no no for me, really can’t stand bright lights in the evening (or indeed anytime)…! xx

Darling heart .. you speak to mine always. Relate to how good the boring can be and the bad ambience. Candles and making magic out of the ordinary. I'm right there with you 🫶🏼🫶🏼

You are magnificence incarnated.

"we were both offended by bad ambience" also had me giggle.

I love the deliciousness of your ability to create rhythm out of a moment. Zooming in to the detail and out to the felt perspective. Stunning x

“Magnificence incarnated” what a pretty thing to say. Adding this to my pockets x

Thank you for reading and love that my allergy to bad ambience brought comic relief. It’s a curse some days 😂
