Whenever I have to challenge myself and face a really tough situation, I arm myself with faerydust. By wearing jewellery given by somebody special, a piece of clothing made for my by a friend, or a little gift given with love. For my radio interview I really needed some force beyond my own as I the topics I was asked to address were as painful as they were intimate to me. I carefully chose my most beautiful pieces, handmade wristwarmers by Oona Elena Kassila. A picture of these wristwarmers was the very first blog post I ever made so the symbolism was there... We've come a long way together ♥. Oona is one beautiful inspiration in my life as well as a true bohemian lady herself. Her magic is so kind yet so powerful. I feel her energy in all the pieces she has designed for me, such as this unique lace tiara necklace, handcrafted of antique laces, freshwater pearls and a rose quartz. Finally, my rings. By Oona's man Mo Puccino.

The stone is a rare opal, delicately decorated by a handcrafted silver frame, reflecting all the shades of the universe. The color of the opal is different in all lights, always magical. To me, carrying this ring is carrying my own personal rainbow with me. I surrounded myself by so much loving energy that no wonder.  At some point, I even forgot to be nervous. ~*♥*~

Tonight sleep won't come. But I don't mind anything else, as I have two little ones who are safe and sound right in the next room, faraway in dreamland. And I lay here looking a these pictures. The large one is 4-5 years old, my all time favorite. I remember how happy we all were when it was taken. And the little silver frame... A photo taken seven years ago, at the baptizing of my baby son. He was a little frightened and I was comforting him... A picture that so perfectly captures the closeness of mother and child, that I can still feel his weight in my arms, his breathing on my neck. Our house was lit by candles - and nothing else but candles everywhere. The music was soft and sweet, everyone we loved was there. And here I am, unable to shake the memories of these pictures. Counting my blessings. ~*♥*~
