Hello! 

I hope you are starting your week in an amazing mood. There was something really energising about the long weekend, and I hope you feel the same way.

Now that the temperature has (finally) started to drop in South Florida, we can sense a bit of change in the landscape, and I am sure for those of you in other states or countries, the change is more evident.

That got me to think about the different kinds of landscapes and how many times we live in such beautiful places which we take for granted. We pass on going to the beach or going hiking because ¨it is not going anywhere.¨

Many times we move to a place so different to the one where we grew up and then it hits us. We start to long for that particular landscape, whether it is the beach, the mountains, the desert, and why not? some people miss a busy city with a building skyline in the background.

So which is your favourite landscape? Do you envision it in a particular weather?

For me, being able to look at the horizon and see mountains is the best feeling. The beach is beautiful, and many people come to Miami to enjoy it, and I do, too, but a cold alpine place is where I feel the most grounded. I love pine tree forests with still reflecting creeks; their smell, the light through the canopy. It is humbling and reassuring. 

Here is a pine tree-inspired fabric against a mountainous background to help you start your week in a great mood. 

The fabric is Evergreen Dusk by Katarina Roccella for the Blithe collection

I hope you enjoy it,

Lauv
