WELCOME
Everyday I try to find a little something that makes life interesting. A good book, a wagging dog, a cool breeze, tea with a friend. Here are my field notes about making, discovering, and enjoying a simple, slow, handmade life. Thanks so much for visiting. I appreciate your spending time with me. xo Heidi
