Confession
I have spent so much of my life trusting to my own intuition and sensibilities, but every once in a while I worry that I may have misjudged or misrepresented someone or something. Most of the time, I don’t question what I am feeling, but when I reflect on it, I sometimes wonder if I may have been influenced by someone else’s perceptions.
And at once I knew, I was not magnificent.

Physalis alkekengi, commonly referred to as a Japanese or Chinese Lantern, in pale and grasping deterioration, safeguards the treasure within.

Perfect in delicacy and wondrous in form, the skeleton leaf is a web of complex frailty, strengthened here in electroplated copper by Enchanted Leaves (shop Etsy ♥).
With autumn brings crisp air, leaves, apples and pears. In retreat from a blustery wind, take comfort in front of the fireplace with this warm, cinnamony-sweet treat of Honeyed Pears in Puff Pastry from Sprinkle Bakes.
My only addition would be a brushing of buttermilk and sprinkling of turbinado sugar for the puff pastry right before it went into the oven. ❧
To see a world in a grain of sand, And heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
William Blake
Auguries of Innocence
Drifting on the open seas,
My boat took flight
Wing'd on a celestial breeze.
I leant my lips to kiss the moon,
Starry-eyed with a wayward swoon.
