I ride the stallion thru the dust storm,
my guardian rides along side me.
I have been warned beforehand that this is a life or death ride.
no grays. no subtle shades. no middle ground.

Patti Smith, Witt

I was so excited to find this beautiful package from Sweden sitting at my doorstep yesterday. One of my talented customers sent a beautiful shawl she made and it is just stunning! The intricate pattern she used is from a Scottish designer, Ysolda you can view her website here. The yarn she used is 100% wool and is from a Swedish company fargkraft. It was such a wonderful surprise that I wanted to share it with you! Hope you are having a wonderful day here in New York City it is sunny and there are still a few leaves on the trees. It is the perfect day for a nice long walk before the winter arrives. We had a fun photoshoot yesterday that I will begin posting soon.

The trip to Poland was much more amazing and inspiring then I could have ever imagined. These are a couple photos of the road in Olszyny that leads to where my grandfather and his family are from. The house is no longer standing, but just being there felt like a dream. Every time I go away, I leave something behind and take with me something exciting and new.

Green Sadness

Rolling green days
following the full moon
leading us down winding pathways
into the past.

Photo of me that Sveta of pip-squeak chapeau took on the first day of spring! I just love the lens flare.

O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell,
Let it not be among the jumbled heap
Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,—
Nature’s observatory—whence the dell,
In flowery slopes, its river’s crystal swell,
May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep
‘Mongst boughs pavilioned, where the deer’s swift leap
Startles the wild bee from the foxglove bell.
But though I’ll gladly trace these scenes with thee,
Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind,
Whose words are images of thoughts refined,
Is my soul’s pleasure; and it sure must be
Almost the highest bliss of human-kind,
When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee.

John Keats



I laugh like a child to
Wisps’ of curly hair
Flowing free like summer.

While the glistening waves
Push us towards the sun.

1. MACHA Jewelry by Bernice Kelly

I stopped by Bernice’s tent where she was selling some of her beautiful handcrafted pieces. I picked up a gorgeous set of bangles that I just love. She also had some great vintage clothing. Be sure to stop by and say “hi” she will be there for the next couple of weeks!

2. John Murphy Photographs

These beautiful photos by John Murphy really caught my eye. The colors are just so bright and beautiful. They’re sure to make you very happy even on a cold winter day! The frames really complement the photographs nicely and are almost as interesting as the photographs themselves. Check out his shop on etsy, be sure to stop by his tent and say “hi”!
