August in the City

 

I’m a bit of a dreamer who sometimes finds it hard to see what’s close by. So, a few moments from yesterday intentionally captured on the camera. 

On the packing table

Scenes from my early-evening walk (August in the city has a special charm)

On a side note, apart from the pictured grand-old establishment Hagelstam second-hand bookshop (may it never disappear!), the two other businesses are newer on the scene and female-owned, and whenever I walk past (or go in) places like these, I feel very inspired by the unique vision and heart that’s gone into them. They radiate a kind of warmth into their surroundings. 

 

It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately while preparing for the next steps with my fine art print shop. How creativity and work can go hand in hand. How connections with fellow business owners, who have also put their soul into what they do, can be all about inspiring and lifting each other up. And how, when navigating with your heart wide open (and head screwed on), you can bring something meaningful into the world, no matter how small it may seem. Something of beauty to be shared, with kindness.

 

Came home with the prettiest garden roses from a flower stall, perhaps subconsciously influenced by the sea of roses in that park…

With love,
