This might be one of my favorite Whimsy Dispatches yet 🕊 the way you describe these homes — the smells, the sounds, the texture of them — made me feel like I was right there. I love this idea of collecting as a way of paying attention. There’s such tenderness in noticing what makes a place feel like home.
Love this post. I thought of my best friend's house, which one friend described as a "cracker Barrel" because of all the memories scattered along the walls and on shelves and coffee tables.
Your description of home reminded me of the concept of "messy vitality" that I heard in a podcast once! Thought you'd like this.
I’m have a mish mash of books (a LOT of them), Lego kits, RC cars, and 3D printed stuff in my house that makes it look homey. That, and my highland cow prints 😆
GROUP PROJECT: I’d love to know — what’s a home you did not live in, but felt at home in? Tell the class about it!
