a refreshed, softer me..

forget me nots

I found myself in a little corner of my mother's garden. And there they were. Small yet stunning. The little forget me nots that I love so much.

I feel rejuvenated
bursting with inspiration

An explosion of colors
so many shapes and a million different textures

All fighting in my head to get out
in one way or another

Some will be precious jewels for you to wear
other will be precious memories for me to hold on


I have a hard time expressing what I feel. So many impressions, meetings, conversations to sort out in my head.
I know I love sweden so much and I will always refer to it as my home. But I realized that this is also my home. Here in the states. Here with David. With the little furbabies. Here in my studio where I can make magic and frame stones with my memories.

And here where I will start my next adventure with yet another shop. I know you must be curious and so am I. My head is filled with peonies, dandelions, roses and other flowers that are just dying to get out. I can't wait to get to my studio and pull out all my fabrics. Soft, colorful and beautiful fabrics. Cut petals after petals. Gently put them together until they become alive.

I can't wait to show you my softer side. :o)
