A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Happy Friday + Randomness

June 10, 2016

 

sh-outtakes2

I’m craving stillness
to think thoughts, read books, to sew
and sow and slow down

These images are outtakes from the book (the top one was styled by Rachel, the one below by Allie; both were shot by me) — you may be seeing a lot more outtakes since there were so many images I wanted to include that didn’t make the cut.

Anyway, wishing you all a slower-paced weekend (unless you want a faster-paced, exciting one, of course)!

P.S. I’m getting a serious case of wanderlust reading all the comments from the giveaway. Thank you for the inspiration!

P.P.S. I’ve actually been reading a bit more lately and just finished this book — hilarious and thought-provoking! I’ve now moved onto this one and and am loving it so far! Makes me want to move to Paris.

    Those piles of linen make me want to rush straight to my sewing room and get going on my latest project!

      Thank you, Carole! I tell you, styling makes all the difference for photos! Hope you get to indulge in some sewing time :-).

      Thank Greta! The Denton Little book is decidedly Young Adult with a masculine bent, but I thought it was SO funny! 🙂 I’m still thoroughly enjoying the Little Paris Bookshop!
