I'm falling in love with this Small Stones project. It's amazing how just a few sentences can take me through such a range of experience.
Reading this, I want to tuck my hair into my hat and turn my face toward the wind.
Hi Emily,
I agree! It's amazing how many different kinds of weather I can range through with each set of Small Stones, and I feel like I've been immersed in each one!
cheers,
Laura
