Spring | It happens. Something, for some reason, presents itself unexpectedly.
Originally, I planned to write about a little handmade book I had just finished—a lovely piece I titled Kind Words. Heartfelt, relevant, needed.
As I viewed the photographs of the book to post, I came across this one. And I stopped. Romantic and dreamy—an image slightly out of focus. I was so drawn to it—these blushing garden roses that had been informally placed in a jar. They accompanied a note left behind by someone. (I was spending the day working in a friend’s farm kitchen.) This simple still life, photographed in such haste, imperfect and not styled, without hesitation became April’s posting.
Susanne, I’m not sure if I stumbled upon this journal or your instagram feed first, but I have literally been swept away by your beautiful work. Your writing and your photos are just lovely…they have a simple richness to them that I’m very much drawn to. I do hope you will post more in this space. 🙂

p.s. thank you for all the thoughtful comments you leave on my instagram….living.in.joy
what a beautiful note to find! I find your instagram postings just as alluring and I can imagine myself living in such a small town, in the country, with like surroundings. I hope we can continue to ‘live in each other’s world’, even if just on our screens…
Isn’t it funny that we, in such a big world, can happen across people and places, words and pictures that leave such an impression on us. The degree of separation is really astounding. I believe I found your instagram account ultimately through a comment a reader left on my blog. However it came to be, it’s a pleasure to visit you.
I feel the same! Somehow, for some reason, we were meant to connect—will it be in flowers? Interiors? Gardens? Or just an occasional comment and like on each others’ blogs and galleries.
what do you think?
I love your thoughtful, slow-cooked recollections and visual records of your noticings from the field. Beautifully curated, yet fresh and poignant. What a visual feast.
Keep it coming!
