hope… sang the bird.

this weekend i had {a bit of} an epiphany… i have realised that i can turn all the stuff that has happened; everything that has made my heart ache, that has made me cry ’til there were no more tears, all of my sadness… i can try and turn it into a positive. i can channel my energy, harness my sadness and create something wonderful, something that makes my heart sing.

sang the bird was born out of my desire to be aware of the beauty all around me. a desire to live with beautiful things everyday. my mum’s illness brought this need into my reality. a desire to illuminate the importance of every day…

so my shop is open again (after a brief hiatus)… and i am inspired and ready to enjoy my work…

also, i was super excited to find out sang the bird had been mentioned on better living through design… a big thankyou to katie hagar for the write up.

 

much love to you all

sang the bird: grater bowls

i’ve just added some beautiful small ceramic grater bowls to the shop. they are so divine.

i plan to use mine to grate garlic. i can then add olive oil, lemon juice and sea salt. the perfect dressing in one bowl.

they are also perfect for grating nutmeg! i’m totally chuffed at how well this beautifully simple design works.

{graters are made by hand by the lovely julia of formbar. each bowl is is approximately 4.5cm high by 11cm wide}.

Happy Monday and here’s to hopes for an awesome week…

much love to you all
