This week, I paused to celebrate my inclusion in Somerset Life’s 2014 Spring Edition,
and the appearance of some of my simple creations on its cover. When my copy of
the magazine arrived in the mail, I was in the midst of a “Monday”, one of
those vexing days when the rhythm of life is somewhat askew. While I was admittedly excited to see the image of my pieces on the cover,
I was perhaps more delighted with the possibility of completing the tasks at
hand, curling up in bed, and immersing myself in the magazine and all its
creative offerings.
During my adult years, I have celebrated life’s lovely
moments in a number of ways, and very often champagne and chocolate have been
included. Consequently, when I began to craft a simple thank you for the staff
of Somerset Life, I found myself
integrating items that alluded to my celebration rituals—chocolates tucked away
in a linen envelope, embellished with a cava crown cap, vintage miscellany, and
some luxurious ribbon.
Little did I know when I picked up my first copy of Somerset Life some years ago, that I
would one day contribute to its content. I do hope some of my simple work can
provide others a bit of the delight and inspiration this publication and its
creative contributors have given me.
