I love the Finch Satchel. The familiarity of its shape against my body, holding what I need for the day. It is a good size, but I will always jam it – things rising out over the edge, the weight of it. Over the years we’ve been Smallening everything. We have a Mini Tote, a Small Hunter, two smaller Sendaks — and now, alas, a Small Finch. The comfort of the Finch, with the nudge to carry less.

Classic Finch and New Small Finch!

Impromptu Bookbinding Workshop + One in the Works!

I was so lucky to have spent a day with these five – Andrea Bruce, Claire Rosen, Maggie Steber, Adriana Zehbrauskas, Kirsten Luce – just scratching the surface of stories. Claire, who has known them for years and taught photography alongside them around the world, brought them to the Five Acre Wood for a bookbinding and paint making workshop.

Everywhere Astonishments

Music: New Mick Flannery and Aldous Harding. Re-obsessing with an old favourite likely responsible for some the ringing in my ears from so many right-in-front-of-the-speaker nights: PJ Harvey. Prayer at the Gate, is perfect during my wild wavy weather wanderings!

Podcast: The Nature Of Podcast with Suzanne Simard

I was walking in the woods last night with Pearl, slurping honeysuckle and enjoying the cool night when Walter sent a song suggestion: Spitting of the Edge of the Earth by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs with Perfume Genius! It struck all the right chords and I danced with Pearl on the path as the sun set. A reminder to share things we love!
