Welcome Friends.
This is my Tiny Gallery, an online space to relax and dream.
For the moments, when a cup of tea and a few breaths are the medicine.
I’ve selected some photographs, & liken them to living metaphors and
creative sparks for living a life that feels uplifted and elevated.
If I asked you what makes you happy? If I asked you what are your favourite things? Who are your most treasured friends? What's your favourite cheese? Could you tell me? Naming and writing down what we love is a devotion to ourselves. We know what we don't like, but what is it you do like?
In Japan, I discovered Kissatens. Old world style coffee houses. The ones I visited were dark wood inside, there's a slowness that's encouraged, the staff dont rush you to order or gently nudge you to leave. You are free to sip your coffee and dream. What places do you feel most inspired to visit? Cafes? Museums? Art Galleries? Does nature call you; lakes, beaches, parks? Have a think & then plan an outing.
Colour is an instant mood lifter. How cute are these two vintage lamps, offset with the tea cups and jug. Look around your home, can you create a small vignette of colour to inspire and uplift you? On your night stand, near your front door or on your bookshelf perhaps.
Our view, our perspective on living can change. We can take notes on our current mood, our framework and ask ourselves, does this suit the chapter I'm in? You might need to change the lens you are looking through.
The tall lamps in Europe prompt me to stand upright and elegant. A slight tuck of the shoulders back and down, lets us breathe full and relaxed. Linger here a moment and shift your posture, feel your mood shift 📖🕯️🦉
The canals of Venice are an artwork themselves. The buildings are breathtaking, the colours are so soft and beautiful. What changes can you make, small or grand, to your home to encourage a sense of beauty and softness? ⌂♡
After the busy day, the umbrellas from the daily market are packed away ready for the bustling restaurant's to unpack & set up their tables. What can you let go of, or pack away, so that other dreams and visions can take hold?
Some ideas, dreams and visions are sitting on the shelf waiting for their time. What's 1 tiny step you can take, towards your dream? ₊ 𖦹﹕ ᶻ 𝘇 𐰁
The future you dream of and your current life have a bridge connecting them, you. Name and write the current bridges between you and your future self?
If I asked you your 3 values what would you say? What do you live by? Lets hold up a light to our values and let them radiate from our hearts.
Crowd your life with beauty. Find your favourite colour, the one that lights you up and weave it into your days. Maybe a new shade of lipstick, a cute vintage dress, a new handbag?
Palazzo Tetta is a building of beauty. Like you, she is a work of art, enduring time with a sense of elegance and grandeur. As we get older, can we reimagine this time as a sense of adventure and wonder?
