Absolutely magical, thank you for sharing this precious extract Penny. It made me think of the artwork on our walls from my husband’s grandmother and how they are familiar to him and his family from her home when they lived in Australia. It also makes me think of all of the artworks and objects that feel so familiar to me in my parents’ home and how they sometimes more than the building foster the feeling of ‘home’. It also provides me with a nudge to get framing all of the pieces of ‘art’ I continue to pick up along my way xx

What a wonderful extract - thank you for sharing Penny! Off to order my copy right now. 🧡

The current state of our home (post lockdown, post school holidays...) has been a source of guilt and shame for some time, but this is a beautiful reminder that the essence of a home is so much more than an interior aesthetic. Something that can be felt, rather than seen. x

Happy publication day dear Penny! Hoping my copy arrives today — I cannot wait to dive into it. My parents had a Miro print mounted on the wall when we were growing up and it took colours so many memories. A good nudge to hang the mountain of art I keep meaning too. Thank you! X

Loved reading this memory Julia. 🧡 I’ve also got a stack of waiting to be framed / hung art and needed this nudge. x
