I don’t believe in PERFECT. It was never something that I wanted to
achieve. There are many cultures
in the world that believe if you make something perfect you are trying to
imitate god and that imperfection lets the soul in. In creating art they would intentionally make one color
woven off or one imperfect form.
When I look at the wall motifs in Italy, each hand painted motif is not
the same as the next. I love that. It frees us up to have fun.
Yet isn’t this house above just
perfect! I love the scale of big
tree, little house. While going
for a walk at twilight with Alfredo (who is here visiting) we came across this
house, oh it is just so lovely.
I think that when Christmastime
is done in a simple pared down way, it can be heart warming. Here just a dark green wreath on a kiwi
green door – heaven! I look for other kindred souls as I go along my day. People who understand simplicity and
trying to live in simple design.
Candles and hot chocolate with
(American) marshmallows.

And a chalkboard sign I had
Alfredo write in Italian IT’S CHRISTMAS!

| It's Christmas! |
The lights go up to our loft
bed. I keep them up all year
round.
Cheers,
Natalie
