sometimes it seems like the pieces i make actually wait for the right person to find them. a patchwork scarf, for example, made from pieces of antique kimono silk, might linger in the shop for a while, even come to a few craft fairs with me, seemingly unnoticed until one day someone scoops it up, asking, “where have you been all my life?”
one of my new friends from Squam, the lovely and generous Arabella, has started a blog which i am enjoying very much. it’s about noticing the little things, and it’s called An Open Window. she describes it as:
“…one image each day. Something that evokes (for me) happiness, calm, beauty or love. Not in any particular order. I want to see what a little bit of gratitude and appreciation of the positive can do for me if I record it every day for 1 year.
Let the experiment begin.”
Arabella is also the new owner of the kimono scarf. she received it a few days ago, and it was nice to know that the package i sent was her documented happiness of the day…
