...I don't know about you, but I live my life in chapters. Small changeable stepping stones, as I weave my way through the months and years...
I love the closing of doors (in a positive way) and the opening of new, leading me to an entrance hall, with many doors, each leading to ventures new.
The Linen Garden is my next chapter. A new journal documenting the planting and 'sewing' of my stationery world. My meanderings and wanderings, inspirations and aspirations.
I affectionately call my studio 'The Linen Garden'. It is continually decorated with all that is floral. Printed stationery, linen stationery, embroideries, vases filled with snippets from the garden, bowls of fabric petals, photographs, textures, magazine clippings, old books, new books, precious china, broken crockery and hoardings of haberdashery...every surface creating a little flower bed of it's own, every wall space a trellis of work in progress.
I also have friends visiting The Linen Garden, every now and again, to share their ideas, leave a recipe or two, places new, views and reviews, as we all cluster together to share some floral love.
...I would treasure your company...and would love for you to join me and visit me once in a while and help me embellish this little journal with friendship, passions, ideas, happiness, fun, humour, and shared stories in any comments you wish to leave.......
....a beautiful floral community....
To say 'hello' and thank you for taking the time in stopping by I am holding a little giveaway. All you have to do is become a follower of this journal and leave a comment below to win a lovely decorated linen product from the studio (details of the prizes are in the holding post below-15th June). The giveaway will close on Friday 30th August at midday and the winners will be announced that afternoon. Photographs of the lovely linens will feature here tomorrow.
