Guest Post: Here lies love

It's always difficult to define oneself. We're used to using categories: you have to tick that box, you have to introduce yourself saying where you come from and what you do for a living. It's both sad and frustrating. Especially when it comes to blogging. Most of the bloggers have, what we would call, an ordinary job. They work in a office from 9 to 5 but back home, they create small pieces of art and run a Etsy shop, they take photos and are featured on dozens of blogs worldwhile... they're magicians.

When it comes to bloggers, categories feel inadequate. No matter how much I love taking photos, doodling or making collages, I would never call myself a photographer or an artist. Many of us have talents and even though those talents will never make it to a gallery or a museum, they're still valuable, precious and meaningful.

So here's to inspiration, here's to bloggers I've never met but whom I'm in touch with every day, here's to people living thousands of kilometers away from me but still inspiring me and encouraging me to believe in my own creativity. And here's to you: thank you.
While you're here, I'd like to introduce you to some of my favourite people...

Ada in Los Angeles - Photo by Gabbi.

This is Ada, my globetrotting doll. I haven't seen her for two years as she's busybusy travelling. Right now, she's in Israel with Galit and I have to say this project truly exceeded all my expectations. I'd never have thought she'd go to New Zealand or Israel. It all got started with some of my friends and it has turned into a beautiful collective experiment.

On my chest of drawers.

If you're a blogger yourself, you should have a look at Katrina's blog. She's super generous and shares tons of tips and tutorials to slowly turn the blogosphere into a prettier place. She has two blogs and two Etsy shops so you can be pretty sure you'll find something you'll like. Click here.

That's all, Folks! I hope you've enjoyed those introductions. Thank you so much for having me.
