    Thanks so much for sharing the link on haldi dood. My grandmother used to make it for me when I was little, and I feel a similar sense of frustration at seeing it become so popular now. I remember being laughed at for the turmeric stains on my fingers after eating leftovers for lunch at school, and the earthy smell of haldi only become acceptable after, as the author put it, “the colour of the hands preparing it or consuming it” changed from brown to white. I’m glad to see more people embracing traditions that I have loved for so long, but sometimes it’s hard to accept the breathlessness of exoticism.

    That print is so beautiful – wish I had space in my apartment to hang it. Also, that Instagram magazine idea is AMAZING. Definitely looking into it as I’ve been trying to find a way to get my photos offline and into real life.

    Hi there! I love how you framed the print. Is that the no mat with spacer option? I recently ordered when I saw money was being donated to the ACLU. Thanks! Congrats on your baby boy!

    Yay for (almost) blooming flowers! I’ll take all the prettiness I can to counteract the gloomy news cycle.

    Oh you bought the print! It has been on my wish list for a while now. It’s so beautiful and so very appropriate for the current state of the world.

    I read this series every week and rarely comment, but I admire how you can take very ordinary objects, capture them awash in natural light, and make them more beautiful than I would think in a passing glance. Who would have thought a radiator would look so interesting?

    Hi Erin! Just wondering whether you finished the table and chairs and if so, with what? Have you tried the oil/wax method? It is so cute!! Thank you for finding the beautiful in the simple!

    • Reply ERIN BOYLE February 10, 2017 at 9:20 am

      We did! We used a linseed oil/beeswax finish from Tried & True. It’s lovely, but admittedly we’re thinking of sanding again and painting a dark color because it’s taking quite a beating from a little artist and might be easier to clean if painted!

        Thanks!! Kiddos sure do leave their marks everywhere! ❤
