One of my flickr contacts, Riana, sent me a sweet package. She is an incredibly inspiring woman and you can view her flickr stream here. She not only posts images of her life in France but writes a great deal about her daily experience and philosophy. For at least the past couple years she has hopped off the consumer treadmill and lived a slow life. She buys very little food and feeds her family plus countless neighbors from her garden, from foraging and from collecting food which is destined for the dumpster. In addition, She has been renovating an old house and it's quite beautiful.
One of the shops I love and admire most on etsy belongs to my friend margaux and it's called the black spot books. In case you'd never heard of it I wanted to let you know. It's special. You should visit.
