Inspiration In Nature

Fall is slowly unfolding here at the Folkling House and much of the inspiration for our upcoming collection has been derived from the nature that can be found around the property.
Truly, one of my favorite things about being in a new space, is witnessing the different new-to-me elements of nature that surround it. I always find something curious, something unexpected.

The captivating amber gradients in the mushrooms, the way the little buds on the beech drops look akin to tiny shells.
The cosmos seeds in all of their articulated wide-handed glory, right before they take their leave for the soil below.

Despite our being quiet online, it’s been a busy season of life readying for our re-opening.
There has been more stress and unexpected setbacks in the process of it all than I like admitting.
But these moments of pausing and directing attention, however brief, to nature and its ever changing vignettes feels rewarding and worth taking the time for.
A reminder of what all of this effort is for.
