I know. Tulips and sundresses in January! - but honestly, I am just so thrilled that our Vancouver Cherry blossom trees are budding already and I am leaning with excitement into Springtime. Here's to the light! Over the holidays I managed to get out for some wonderful snowshoeing in Whistler for some fine anti hustle and I was reminded how very much I love being outside in this beautiful place of space. When I am in my studio, I want to be outside - and then when I am outside, I want to be in the studio (because creative ideas are easily born in the freedom of nature)
Funny that.
This Summer I am hoping to find myself a most beautiful yellow canoe (a kayak will do fine too) to paddle about our flickering green rivers. I am my very best self when mingling with the elements. 2018, I am thrilled to make your acquaintance. I would like a year of laughter, even more family togetherness and a healthy dose of clowning around. Everything is within reach. (along wth that yellow canoe - then all my asking is done)
Speaking of the studio - this morning I am sipping a Matcha latte and humming various tunes to myself and I thought it might be lovely to share a roundup of some of my favourite inspirations with you.
A heart sweet love story. Makes my heart beam. Oh, and this too. A perfect pairing.
I made a brilliant loaf of seedy bread and can testify it is off the charts spectacular.
The only skincare I ever use. All natural, cruelty free.
New fave instagram accounts - so adorable! - simply gorgeous.
Looking forward to this film - and how perfectly stunning is this apartment? Mine is tiny tiny but I am also on a pilgrimage for color.
The best illustrated books of 2017.
And Oprah. Long may she reign. The best is always last....
I hope your 2018 is something else!
Love,
Maddie
