Hello hello! Feeling super energized after spending the weekend with

Rebecca Harrison

@ Old Flame Mending - we co-hosted a Darning Workshop here in Brooklyn, with the nicest group of old & new friends ❤️ Spending 2+ hours on a Sunday afternoon, phones away, teaching / learning a new skill is sooo satisfying… ! I hope you all had a lovely weekend too.
