A few weeks ago a very soulful, bright young man sailed into the studio and asked if he could rent it to create an experience of love culminating in his proposal to his girlfriend. His ideas were boundless - to invite her to a gallery that celebrated in personal photographs and film their beautiful relationship together. His installations and gestures and idea were deeply personal - and there was no audience, no photographers on standby to capture the moment. Simply the two of them in a space transformed by his reverence for the little moments and time spent with her. Moments like this - make me love my little studio even more. Have you ever stopped and thought “wow, I prayed for this. It’s here. It’s happening.” This was definitely one of those weeks. In a parade of weeks and months that have been very sad with my mothers untethered decline. I am so uplifted to share this small, beautiful story. To know there are brave, reverent, romantic, thoughtful people creating sacred experiences in an ode to l💛ve. 😍and yes, she said YES.
I’m making coconut Salmon soup - Lucy is listening to @katiemeluaofficial Katie Melua singing ‘Wonderful Life’ (her favourite) but my favourite is Fields of Gold. 🍀

My mother’s home sold a few weeks ago and the entire process of letting go of things has been tremendously painful for her. As we went through so so many things collected through the years she would keep saying to Carolyn and Marc and I “take this - take this home.” Well, there was nothing I wanted except for all the love letters my Dad wrote to her when he was at Oxford University and she was working in London. Still. She really wished for me to have this and that - and the silver! And the China! My personality is quite minimalist and very much reluctantly I took home the silverware and put it away in a closet. And then - I thought it might be beautiful to USE the silver, gift away my ikea cutlery and enjoy her ‘best’ (only ever used for special SPECIAL occasions) Every. Single. Day. And you know what? They give me so much joy! And they remind me of her elegance and her Irish love of the old ways - Beauty in the everyday. It’s s bit funny - my apartment is so simple and then I open the drawer to get a spoon for tea and the light dances on all these fancy vintage silverware. My favourites are the ones with the pearl handles. I love them. 😍
