Flight of Fancy Cottage Cardigan

Whether you’re wandering through a misty morning garden — or curling up with a good book — this cozy Cottage Cardi is pure magic for layering. Toss it on over a linen dress, wool tights and vintage leather boots for a look that’s both warm a wistful or keep it simple with your favourite jeans and a soft knit sweater for an easy everyday look. Feeling a little whimsical? Layer it over a flowy dress, add some printed leggings and top it off with the matching scarf for a look that feels both dreamy and lived-in. However you style it, this cardigan brings a whisper of whimsy and a touch of romance to even the simplest days. 

The joyful, the light-bringer. Women whose spirits are swift and bright as a hummingbird’s wings, who love with their whole hearts. Women who see magic in the little things.

Hummingbirds are fascinating (and fast!) little beings indeed — with their little wings flapping an incredible 50+ times per second. Their tiny nests (built from moss, lichen, and even spiderwebs) are around the size of a large thimble, with eggs as small as jellybeans. They perceive colour much better than humans do, and their ability to see in the ultraviolet spectrum makes it easy for them to find the best flowers for nectar. These remarkable birds have a special place of meaning to me — they’ve always been my daughter’s favourite, and whenever I see one during the day when she’s at school, I feel like she’s thinking of me :)

Early Morning, Le Marché aux Fleurs

The hummingbird alone
can fly backwards,
loadless
though its heart
is larger than any
other’s. If I meet you,
years from now
in this same street
as the morning
flower-sellers are arranging
their bright wet stems
of blush and green —
may I remember
how your hands flitted
from the petals
to my face
for the briefest
lightest touch.
