Christmas presents time 🥰🎁
I love this time of the year - I know, it's a cliche, loving the Christmas spirit and the atmosphere and the whole big thing. But I do ☺️
I love the shimmering Christmas trees and happy baubles, the flickering sounds of the logs in the fireplace, Christmas carols - they all give me hope and this lightness in the heart that helps walk through the darkest places in life 🙏🎄
And this new infinity scarf design is another symbol of Christmas - all about cosiness, warmth and crispy winter air ❄️☃️

This is one of my favourite colours - all about the sea in one go! It's a very rich and beautiful sea green mix, as deep as the sea itself, as delicate as the rare ocean calm 💚

🔥 The fiery colour to remind of the vibrant autumn shades through the winter 💃

Have you started shopping for Christmas yet? 🎄
I went to Next for a couple of things for my wee 🐵, and they have Christmas jumpers on full speed in there. Is it the time yet? 🥸 We haven't put down the decorations from Halloween yet 😂
I'm stocking up for the season, adding more designs and colours, stitching on the tags which I love immensely as a nice personal touch and part of my small biz image ☺️
What have you been up to? Can you feel the winter creeping in yet?

This year the autumn is teasingly magical 🍁
We are starting to burn the candles and make the fire in the long windy evenings. The heart is aching for something sweetly painful and unknown. I'm soothing it with hot coffee and trick it with rich cream soups.
How has your autumn been so far? 🔥🍂

The latest batches in various colours are on their way to my shop, and that will be it with the pumpkins for this year, I must say 🙌
Still time to order yours though! 🧡🎃

Still time to get yours for the season 🥰🔥

This season is full of magic - all kinds of fungi scattered around the woods, coloured splashes sprouting on the trees, the air smells of dampness, October spice and wonder 🧙🏻‍♀️🍁🎃
Plant a piece of magic inside your home to cheer you up when the day seems dull and grey 🥰

'What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare'
W.H.Davies
I first heard these lines back when I was 17 and was just starting my university journey. We had to learn the whole poem by heart, and I remember my inner resistance speaking in me, saying - 'Watching the cows? Really? As if someone would care! And they call it a masterpiece!'
Little did I know then, how much peace and beauty there truly is in observing the cows, in rummaging through the woods in search of tiny, half-transparent fungi, in being in the graceful moment of stillness. All you need to do is just allow yourself to stare 🍁🌳🍄
How often do you let yourself to just be? Letting it all go and just fully be?

This autumn is full of inspiration and colour, of magic and ideas. Our house constantly smells of freshly made coffee these days. Our tv is tuned to films and series about wizards and magic.
Spiders have made themselves a web in the corner of our trampoline in the garden. The mornings are sprinkled with fogs and the evenings are full of little secrets and story-making about a family of very special piggies.
It's nearly the time to throw a couple of logs in the fireplace and watch the sparkles imagining the worlds of mystery and autumn, definitely autumn 🍁🧙🏻‍♀️
Tell me about your September ☺️

Golden days - what comes in mind for you?
For me they are the days to treasure, the moments of utter harmony when the golden dust of time freezes in the air and you grasp the beauty of it, no matter what comes afterwards.
This shot was made a couple of days before we found out we had Covid, before those difficult weeks to come. But the illness came and left, and the golden moment stayed with me forever. The intense interval of sunshine, the happy laughter of my little child, the steaming coffee in my hand and the hot feeling of balance I had at that moment. My golden day to treasure.

We came together as from all around the world to celebrate and cherish our creativity. Despite our different heritage, styles or backgrounds creativity connects us all.
