things you love

I still get so excited when I walk into this little shop in Hastings-on-Hudson.  Maisonette opened in 2012 or thereabouts and I created this illustration for Maria which hangs in her shop. It is brimming with things I love and want.  Maria, the shoppe keeper has a slogan, “Surround yourself with the things you love.”  She stands by this rule, hard and fast and always says, there are no rules as long as it brings you joy.  I have to admit that every item I have from maisonette brings me joy.  Do you have a hard and fast rule for living with love?  Maybe there is something you are living with that needs more love.  Pass on items that are draining you and replace them in time with the one’s that bring you joy.
