Hi friends. I have a very special post to share with you tonight and I have been wanting to share this with you for a long while now. I know that I don't really share much about my personal life here. I did share our wedding with tid bits here and there but tonight I would like to quietly share with you mine and Elijah's home.
My very dear friend Claire Cottrell suggested us to Freunde von Freunden and not only wrote about us but took all of these beautiful photos. When we were first asked to do this I was so honored and excited but then felt a bit reluctant to share because we live a pretty modest life. We don't really own a lot of fancy objects or furniture but what we do have is a lot of love and I feel that Claire captured that with her interview and photos! Furthermore the three of us had a really heartfelt and fun day when this was shot and I sincerely hope that you feel the love and good vibes too. These are the outtakes and you can see the final shots and read our interview here.
Thank you so kindly Claire + Fvf! We are beyond touched and honored.
(Funny too that we actually have five cats but funny enough all of the other four were being shy this day so you get to meet Osa, our youngest black and white cat).
absolutely LOVED reading about your love-life-story and of course your home is just wonderful. my black and white cat says hi to yours:)
ReplyDeleteOh my my my, thank you so much WSAKE!! What a really lovely comment you left. I will tell Osa that your cat said hi to her. Thank you again for always being incredibly supportive! It means so much.
DeleteI'm a HUGE fan of yours. Always inspired by your creations on your blog. I was so excited to see the post done by FvF on you and your beautiful home and way of living. You've definitely re-inspired me again! Thank you!

Priscilla! What a sweet comment you have left me. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. My heart always skips beats when I read them.
DeleteReally fantastic to find you featured on fvf today. What wonderful images and enjoyed seeing the "out takes" on your blog, too. I am a fan of Claire's work and think she captured the essence of your home and passion for nature perfectly. Greatness! Blessings and wellness, Meg x
ReplyDeleteMegs you're great! What a really fantastic comment to read from you today. Thank you so kindly for taking the time to look through everything. I have to say that I too am such a fan of Claire herself and of her incandescent work. Elijah and I have her to thank for putting together such a beautiful story (visual + words) of us.
DeleteThank you again xx
Dear Lili! I just read the interview and looked at the pictures for long - what beauty, simplicity and love! An absolute inspiration! Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us! Antonia
ReplyDeleteHi Antonia! Thank you for the really sweet comment. I think that we all carry beauty simplicity and love within us, don't you? We certainly are all connected. Thank you for letting me share and for taking the time to share with me your thoughts.

I feel like you + Sasha could easily be shot with the same energy, love + beauty, you know?

Bonjour Lili!
ReplyDeleteJuste un mot pour te dire que j'ai découvert ton interview sous FvF il y a peu de temps et je la trouve hyper inspirante ! J'aimerais tellement pouvoir me rendre en Californie pour sortir un peu de la morosité parisienne... Au printemps prochain, j'espère !
Bonne journée
