The Joy of Small things

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything”
— Aaron Siskind

Our house is a mess, we have the builders in  - among other things they are putting in a new kitchen. Its all been very hectic hence the lack of posts. I've not really been out with my camera and inspiration has been a bit lacking! 

Then I thought, what if in the middle of the builders chaos I went round the house with my camera and took pictures of things that brought me joy? So here you are - some of the things in my house that bring me joy!

This is a glass heart I bought while staying in St Ives, Cornwall. Each year my young son and I would travel to Cornwall to visit his godmother who had a flat in St Ives. These were always special times and the heart reminds me of them.

This bowl also comes from St Ives and was a 50th birthday present from the same friend.

I was very struck by the reflections and colours in this copper kettle, amazing how fairly mundane things repay close attention

and I love this heart, part of a string of lights from Ikea, against the ancient wood of our beams.

I love vibrant colours so this chest which allows my scarves to peep out is just perfect

This pink bird is one of a string of paper birds  that hang in my studio

and finally this iridescent candle holder in my favourite pink

I'd love to know about the little things that bring you joy
