How amazing is this? It made my day better. Found in St.Anthonys Garden ❤️Hopefully some of those wishes come true now they have a home #wishes #chasinglightningbugs
Treated myself to a visit to @chasinglightningbugs porch gallery this week for some autumn vibes. Message in a bottle and bird’s nest ring have me feeling very October-y.
Have you ever received something from someone and be so taken with the item that you can’t open it?
Here is mine.
It’s such a lovely, creative, personal gift that I am torn between wanting to open it to journey through each wrapped, perfectly chosen message or to enjoy the beauty of it as it stands.
I want to savour this gift from @chasinglightningbugs so much so that I’m struggling with taking that red string off.
I can’t express just how unbelievably touched I am to have had this gifted to me and for nearly 3 weeks, I come home and stare at it.
It’s loving the energy of something so much that you long to leave it as is so you can hold on to it longer.
I think that’s where I am.
Either way, this gift is truly special. Annette’s creativity knows no bounds. She is a gift to all who know her.
Thank you for this my friend.
I cherish your time and thoughtfulness that goes into each piece of these curated messages ❤️
Please go follow along and just see what this beautiful soul is creating.

When old paper speaks of the afterlife and reincarnation what old paper means is a transformational visit with Annette.
Spent some time with a cup of tea this morning and this little nested envelope poetic experience from @chasinglightningbugs . These are beautiful bundles are a creative meditation I know I’ll be doing again and again. An absolute delight to get in the mail. Thanks to Alison @beggarsbanquetbooks for sending this my way.
Oh, the things we see when we take time to slow down and pay attention!
Annette Willis of @chasinglightningbugs makes her beautiful quilts entirely by hand and without the help of any machines.
"It is a more intimate process and I believe the quilts reflect that. I find I have more control as the process is slower and more thoughtful. And the quilts are softer and more engaging and tactile." Her works are special! A perfect meaningful gift that will be handed down from one generation to another.

This mornings latte view. Watching my favourite @cbssundaymorning . Cuddling with this little stare down monster Annie and enjoying the view of the Christmas tree and my great great grandmothers rocking chair.

Quiet mornings equals good for the soul.

Now to get a handle on my brain.

It happened. I might have been coerced by a 16 year old. I found some old ornaments that are perfect.
.
And that old rocker, so thankful for the gift of it. A family heirloom of which I don’t have many.
.
This will be a different holiday. My wish is for everyone to stay safe, healthy and enough income to not worry about the essentials.
.
Spread the love and kindness.
