This is a truly special read. Maybe the only one I do today to keep this feeling all day.

This was a wonderful reflection of your time away. Your desire to experience the physicality of the world, now more than ever before, completely resonates with me. Thank you for always inspiring.

Thank you for this lovely postcard! I'm glad you were able to take the break and work on your own material.

I love revisiting Singla through your eyes and heart. I long to go back there. It left ink stains on my heart

It’s a magical place isn’t it? And I love that those of us who have been there get to share the magic even across oceans ❤️

What a dreamy time in Norway (and not completely unlike my little getaway on the coast of Northern California). Also, I really want a kneadable rubber stamp now!

Anna Brones's avatar

You knead one! (See what I did there? 😂)

Love this so much. Seems like we really lucked out with the weather last year. I will always treasure any postcards from that special place.

Yes, it was so rainy! Although it did mean there were lots of saunas :)

I love this, can't wait to lead a fiber retreat next summer! I'm itching to return to these textures and the color palette.

Hello Anna, we missed you! What a beautiful entry - wish it really was a postcard, snail mail is the best. I too find myself craving less of screen time, more of "the real world". It was an exhausting summer and during such times I lack mental energy for even proper book reading. But now I'm craving to start doing something, get back to scribbles and lino cuts and such things. Also, beautiful photos, such incredible colours! Wishing you a happy autumn full of inspiration.

A beautiful reflection of a place — of its textures and colors, and sounds! I read about your retreat, and the location. I long to join you there one day!

Lovely, expressive, thoughtful writing and evocative images that I’ll read, reread, and look at. I brought The Place of Tides back with me from five weeks in the UK, tending to my daughter’s growing family and my first grandchild. I am a Mormor/Gran now, and had no idea how deeply it would take hold of me.

Beautiful postcard pictures - thank you. You've inspired me for how to slow down, see and collect experiences for my next trip.

So lovely to have you back and read through your summer.

Love the rubber stamp method, it looks so cool and easy to use.

I feel the textures you shared here. Thank you for bringing me along with you on such a special journey. I can live vicariously through you and also be inspired by you to create my own. Such a generous act, and I am grateful dear woman.

Bringing that feeling and focus of being on a trip and exploring landscapes that aren’t familiar…back with you…fresh eyes to your everyday. ❤️ What’s striking about your photos is how similar the landscape is to the PNW and the sea life…similar but different.

I think that’s why it resonates so much ❤️
