The first
sample
Nostalgia you can live in.
for the waitlist, before anyone elseI promised you'd see things before anyone else (and I meant it).
So this is the very first entry in what I'm hoping becomes a little journal of the whole process // the samples, the swatches, the happy accidents and the things I change my mind about at 11pm.
None of this is finished, and that's kind of the point. I wanted you here for the middle part, not just the pretty reveal at the end. So pour something warm and come look 🤍

The skirt
My manufacturer sent these over and I may have squealed in the kitchen. This is sample number one, which means it isn't perfect yet (that's what a first sample is for) but there's nothing quite like watching a sketch turn into real fabric you can actually hold.
I'm living with it for a bit, turning it inside out, checking every seam and noting what stays and what changes before round two.

The candle jar
Okay, this one is still very much a maybe. I'm considering this jar for our candle and I keep picking it up and turning it over in the window light like it's going to tell me something.
I want it to be the kind of thing you keep long after the candle's gone (a little vessel for matches or rings or a sprig from the garden) because nothing here should feel disposable.
Would you light this on a slow Sunday? Hit reply and tell me, I really do want to hear.
still decidingMore samples, fabric swatches, and whatever I can't wait to show you next. You'll see it here first, always.
With love from Connecticut,
