the journal: volume one

Well, it looks like I can cross # 33 off this list, which was to collaborate on a creative project with someone I admire. And it turns out, it’s not only someone, it’s people, plural. As in, many someones I admire. I am so honored to be included alongside such talented beauties, many of whom have been inspirations to me over the years.

Here’s what The Journal is all about:

“We understand that not everyone can travel to us, so we are bringing the magic to you!

There is a lovely spirit of connection and collaboration that has emerged from the gatherings at Squam Art Workshops. However, the journal is not about the workshops themselves. Rather, it is an exploration of the journeys we take, how we can find friendship in the most unexpected places, and the restorative power of natural beauty– but above all, it is about what happens when you honor your creativity.

The journal is filled with spectacular imagery from beloved photographers including Denise Andrade, Jen Gray, Susannah Conway, Jeanine Caron, and Béatrice Peltre, among many others. You can look forward to 120 pages of terrific essays and wide ranging conversations about navigating the ups and downs of life with humor, grace, or when all else fails, retail therapy. There’s a pop quiz, a kicky craft project, home tours, and so much more including an actual journal within the book itself.

Our hope for this 8″ x 8″ volume is that it will easily tuck into your bag and accompany you everywhere… on the subway, in the cab, on the train, in the airport, on holiday, etc. We hope it fills your day with inspiration, fresh perspective and belly laughs. We trust you’re going to like it very much as we created it just for you.”

Pre-order your copy before July 23rd for only $19 (normally $25). You won’t regret it.
