Dreams...

GO CONFIDENTLY IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR DREAMS.

LIVE THE LIFE YOU HAVE IMAGINED.

-Henry David Thoureau

 The above quote has been taped to my closet mirror for

several years. I read it every day thinking...

yes, one day I will go in the direction of my dreams.

Today, I did just that!

 

 

Welcome, HAP Creative...my new company!

We are an innovative studio with a focus on

Event Design and Environmental Styling.

 

Bee & Mason will also continue and grow

with our introduction to Portland of

Watertown Flea Market

So, as you can see many dreams are coming true

and I am so excited and happy to start on these new adventures.

Maps...

My dad collected old antique maps of the Netherlands,
which is where he was from.
They now happily sit on my fireplace mantel and
travel through out the house depending on my mood.
They tell a story all on their own...
and if you have a hankering to roam the world but
just don't have the time or money to do so you can
get lost in a map and make up a story of dream traveling.

collections....

lately i keep reading, seeing and hearing about peoples

collections....

i wondered, what do i collect....

other then weight?

i realized i'm not a collector by nature

but there are a few things i tend to accumulate

unknowingly but i tend not to clump them together

in my home. they live organically through out.

maybe that's why i haven't noticed i do collect.

books....

boxes....

old  & vintage textiles....

then there are the collections i have inherited

(these tend to live together)

old wood cookie molds....

spoons....

delft blue....

art reflective of anything dutch....

these were my dad's and i haven't added to them,

it feels like cheating or something.

these were his and should stay his 

even though they have become part of my life.

i looked around and found a few vintage collections

i could see getting obsessed about.

i can see how someone can get enthralled
with a item, the hunt for it and the thrill of the catch
all to bring it home amongst their other trophies.


what do you collect?
how do you display it in your home?

happy collecting!
