I spoke to a guy in the coffee shop today about love and very skeptical he answered that he doesn’t believe in love and that love was not meant for everyone. (If you know me, then you know that my heart instantly shattered because how can he say that?)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I have to be honest, my idea of love completely changed the day I stepped into the wedding industry! Yes, the one thing created to prove and promise true love changed the way I saw love. They way some couples talked about love, marriage and the promise to love each other forever was not true love, it was trend...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since then, I now believe that not everybody RESPECTS love, and THAT changes the game instantly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Love is not something that can be taken lightly, it will pass you by if not treated right - but even if you lost love or rejected love you will have a second chance at it and that my friend is the full circle!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t give up on love because it has not forgotten about you!

Sometimes all my soul needs is muted, toned down and simple - and you can see where I channel all my stillness to. Layered here are our beautiful handmade white sheets with one of our soft white ring dishes and other white textures. This makes my day!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My house has been crazy the past two days and when I look at this effortless layered flatlay everything settles itself!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS. We are entering the weekend with a sigh of relief - the heat wave is subsiding and a cloud of cool is heading our way!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Friday Papier Lovers!

We had such an exhausting day... we are in the middle of a heat wave (41°C), my oldest had her first day of school and to top that off my excitement levels sky rocketed yesterday and today so I’m running on my last energy reserves...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So why is my inner night owl awake? Why can I hear my whole fam snoring except me? Well, I think it’s because of all the excitement, and I’ll be sharing a lot of it soon!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS. It’s a coincidence that I had this beautiful detailed owl painting done by my very talented gran, and it suited my caption perfectly!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have a brilliant day wherever you are♥️

Do you document your day? Do you keep a journal?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always tried too but failed by skipping weeks at an end or even forgetting what happend. I wrote down how I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my first daughter but forgot to with my second pregnancy. I wanted to write my emotions down when I got engaged but I was to excited and I wanted to write down my vows on my wedding day but never did because it's not a tradition we follow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I regret every time I wanted to write down something special, some exciting happening or even a fight I had with someone but didn't, so how will I remember to learn from it, to cherish it or tell it to my grandchildren about it one day?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Writing is such an important factor in ones life - and we need to do it more often. I promise you that you will feel a sense of freedom and accomplishment like never before - trust me, tonight I wrote down my whirlwind of emotions down on paper!

Still one of the prettiest sets we did last year for my kind-hearted friend @ameliasoegijonophoto
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Beautiful gold foiled post cards wrapped in a limited edition handmade paper (made from recycled vintage Library Cards), carefully bound with thin paper twine and then perfectly enclosed in a vellum pocket with gold foiled detail. Wouldn’t that make you feel completely worthy and special...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you know Amelia the you know she is more than just a talented photographer - I have never met a more selfless person who is striving to each self worth and true love. So happy that I could help her achieve the look for the Workshop. Go read more about her beautiful story and make sure you follow this incredible human! (I will add a link to her post in my stories!!)

By the end of last year I sent off 4 styled shoots in a months time and it was so much fun. Each shoot brought something else to my design table but every time something went wrong!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2 shoots were delivered late by the courier, and this one... my printer was just not having it!! Aaaaaah, but after it all, each shoot was absolutely perfect and I can’t wait sharing each one.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This gorgeous stationery set made my day and even after the shoot I still couldn’t believe that this was something I did. It’s really special and close to my heart.
