Heeeey!
Copious, choice content is coming up from my super-duper summer of craft, travel, and lovinspiration. Follow me through my fleeting five weeks. Life can seem like you've living in a movie. I was present and mindful in everything I did this summer. That made all the difference.
Life
is
luscious.

"And in all the days of my life
I have seen nothing
that has so rejoiced my heart
as these things.
For I saw among them strange
and exquisitely worked objects
and marvelled at the subtle genius
of the men in distant lands.
The things I saw there
I have no words to express."
Brussels 1521

Mexico’ by Elizabeth Carmichael)
