Because I know that beauty, rest, and joy are protest, too.

The Sacred Art of Dilly Dallying

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) More whimsy. More wonder. More rebellion. 08.06.2025 In the last week I've had conversations with no less than 5 friends about how we're all in a phase of infusing our homes and lives with whimsy and wonder.
