Instead of installing wall mounted shelves, I’m using two metal shelves that I previously used in the gift shoppe for holding merchandise. They fit perfectly!

A butterfly in my hair I am quite passionate about tea and because i hugely enjoy both drinking it and talking about it i have "sat down together with" some lovely tea drinking ladies and asked them a few questions about their "relationship" with te a. V: D o you remember when you first started drinking tea?

BLOG On the way to my studio, I always pass a sign that says “choose a positive thought” and regardless of how my day is going, I take a moment to think of a great thing in my life. In that moment, I feel like a weight is lifted off me and I can go into my day with a better attitude. I always think about how crazy it is that I need a daily reminder for something that make me feel so much better, and how the power of changing your mentality should not be underestimated. In an attempt to amp up my positive affirmations, I wanted to make a little something for the empty wall as I walk out my apartment. I’ve seen the “It’s Ok” banner in so many people’s pictures online, and always thought it was ridiculously cute, so created a DIY version with a custom message (stay tuned for the steps). In the meantime, check out the handcrafted ones below!
