“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” —Henry David Thoreau

Every morning as I walk my dogs in the woods that surround my property I find design inspiration. The colors, texture, patterns; it always stirs my emotions and sparks my creativity.

Nature has taught me the beautiful lesson to be grateful and appreciate the positive things in life. Every moment I spend in nature has taught me to be open to the new discoveries in design and about myself.

All I have to do is sit quietly, turn off my phone, savor the present moment and it opens up and world of inspiration.

You can see this reflected in my new Fall Collection. Something as simple as the mystery of a mushroom; brought awe and wonder as I basked in the beauty of this amazing creation.

The Laurel Hill handbag and the Sophia Crossbody are just two of the nature inspired bags in my Fall Collection.

Take some time to slow down and unwind in the beauty that awaits you outside.

“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” —Laura Ingalls Wilder
