Hello Friends, I feel the need for a chatty catch-up… and the need for a sacred pause, for stillness. I’ll share some of my activities here… and then post a sacred pause. In fact, I think I’ll lean toward such posts as the summer frenzy begins. Because, as usual, I don’t want this blog to be about me as much as about all of us.
My sister and I visited with our good friend Wendy in Maine last week. We’ve known each other since high school. It was amazing how silly we all still are together… And how deep that connection, friendship, love still feels…amidst children, marriages, and long lengths of time between visits. I feel blessed.
One delicious ingredient of summer, for me, is to see my wares all set up at the Artisan’s Fairs here on Martha’s Vineyard, and to meet new people and catch up with old friends. This also means the beginning of frenzy for me. As much as I try to prepare ahead all winter, I still seem to generate huge lists of what I hope to produce 
in between shows. Pictured here is one quarter of my display…
The weather has been mostly unsunny here these days…. But still, it’s beautiful… Ok. Enough chat! xo, ing

Ingrid, I really love the photo of the two women walking through the grasses and flowers. They look very engaged and very present with each other. There is nothing like a good friend or beloved sister!
the photo of your store display is so enticing! Good thing I am not there or I would walk out broke…but full of joy!
And the final photo of the solitary figure on the cloudy beach is wonderful. You show in a few photos the different moods we have: wanting to be close with someone and social, and wanting to be alone with our own thoughts. This is such a profound post! Thank you!
Thanks Diantha, I do love how a picture can say a thousand words. Especially when I am feeling short on words. The two women walking are my sister and friend…. the solitary figure on the beach is my husband Jonah… I never know if I should identify folks outright….so I go for the more atmospheric shots – to respect privacy, dignity etc.
