home for a minute

The last picture that I took in London, of my favorite tea spot. I ended up ordering a tea pot that they carry for myself by the British designer Nick Munro.

Upon arrival back at home I quickly realized that my strawberries were in need of picking. My neighbor warned me that it would be a fruitful year and she was absolutely right. The day before I left yielded an entire pot of delicious red berries, warm from the sun and ripe to eat.

I also made a dress. It was supposed to be easy. This part was not. It went something like this: insert pins in fabric and elastic, match pins, stretch elastic band to fit to fabric, attempt to use hands - a foot apart - to navigate in a straight line, repeat, repeat, repeat. It felt like trying to hold magnets apart.
