I feel today is such a turning point in the year...the summer holiday has just ended the kids go back to nursery, autumn begins soon, our new year is coming up - the time for many new beginnings...a fresh start. Ella begins daycare for the first time, I begin full time work next week after a 3 day week, I have signed up for an evening ceramics class (very happy *beam*) and have just returned to my studio after a break to begin a brand new collection of work for autumn/winter. 2 views returns next week and soon documented art sessions with Shelly this year :)
Those who know me well, know that i have a love for old things, boxes and all things nature - so you can imagine my joy at our latest find from the flea market ... an old printers drawer - the perfect home for most of our nature collection. Included in our collection are pieces from Seattle, Portugal, UK and Germany.
There is something about compartments and the pleasure of filling them with beautiful objects... each one representing a memory or a place or a person..a time in our life....
Wishing you a lovely weekend and coming autumn or spring depending which part of the world you live in xxx

love your latest flea market find...what a score! very special + a nice way to display all your treasures.
looking forward with you xxx
welcome fall!!!
Autumn is my favorite season and even though this year we had no summer here in the north of France I'm already looking forward the new season.
I also have some wonderful projects to start and the best of all I'll be having one month holidays to start doing it all nicely and relaxed.
September is such a wonderful month to re-start everything again, to give things (and people) a second chance, to plan new projects and good resolutions (I would like to start a yoga class).
Love this fresh new start :)
Can't wait to see your new projects and more of 2 views :)
Have you read "The Poetics of Space" by Gaston Bachelard?
There is a chapter called: Drawers, Chests and Wardrobes, and he talks about spaces that you can only inhabit with your mind -I think this is why these types of little compartments are so compelling -we inhabit them like rooms, but in our mind.
Your collection is beautiful.
