Late summer last year, I said goodbye to my old white farmhouse
with the towering maples, my home in some form or
another since the age of two. It was a necessary and desired
move, but the kind that mingles joy and pain. Bittersweet.
In leaving, I left behind all of my life’s rhythms. My maples,
my deer-trodden moss beds, the ferns by the rock wall, my
Queen Anne’s lace, my yarrow. Inspired by this transition, I designed this hat, adorned with my beloved wildflowers, to represent the rewilding and growth of life.
