There are some things that you can’t, and shouldn’t, rush. Like really expensive bottles of wine, or clotted cream rice pudding, or grief. Better to savour the tastes, and learn the lessons, and regrow your shimmering new wings feather by feather. And that’s exactly what I have been doing with my photography, taking my time over each shot, developing my vision and style, burnishing the paper and working out exactly what it is I am trying to say. I wanted to come to this space and share some of my recent pieces as I’ve relaunched my Etsy store and am enjoying filling the shelves with work I am proud of. The postcards I’d ordered arrived this week and i’m digging them so much – I love sending and receiving cards in the mail, so having some with my own photographs on them is thrilling my geeky stationery-loving side.
I know i have a few readers left out there (hi guys!), despite me being such a lousy blogger these days, so just to let you know that if you see anything you like, if you mention this (tired and abandoned) blog when checking out on Etsy, I’ll include a free set of postcards with your print – just to say thank you for, you know, hanging in there with me :-)

Very pretty shot.. I’ve been enjoying that first one at the top on flickr.
I’ll have to check out your store. And you’re so right, some things.. you just can’t rush. xo
i love your photos lately honey, been loving on them in flickr. aren’t stationery and cards divine? i especially adore postcards.
well i’m still here and reading and now totally in love with your new photographs.. and postcards! i will have to browse your etsy site some more when i have more time tonight.
until then i’m sending you lots of hugs and kisses! xoxo
I only recently found you and love your work. Don’t go rushing, you’re doing fine as you are and also…there are others of us out here who could benefit from a nice, relaxed pace-setter.
not abandoned susannah… Everyone needs time out – I have been a sporadic blogger of late, but I haven’t stopped reading others words and pictures (including yours!) really love the new photos… – by the way, your first link to your etsy store doesn’t work, i think you have too many ‘http’s or something! Thought you would like to know (or am I just too anal…)…x
Gorgeous images. Such a lovely fresh start! And still, you are the Priestess of Words.
Of course we’re hanging in there with you… you have so much to teach us.
Love from across the sea. xo
Total stationary junkie here! And I just love your photographs!
Ha…I don’t think it a coincidence that I am sipping a cup of Good Earth Chai right now with the message, “Whatever is produced in haste goes hastily to waste.” while reading these words of yours. Yes, take your time, beautiful one!
Love,
D.
Susannah, the new photos are gorgeous! I love how you give them texture and shading. Maybe someday you’ll give us amateurs a few tips on how you create such beauties?
Be Well,
Chris
I love your new photos! Your feathers
are fluttering away ~ all yearning to
kiss the soul in flight:)
(squishy happy hugs for you sweetie:)
Susannah, your photographs are beautiful! They are serene, calming…
Yey!
i {love} your new images.
the red shoes in particular… red shoes and water, two of my favourite things!
beautiful work!
Oh beauty! The time and soul you put in your photos definitely come across. Your images are so poetic and gentle. I love everything you make! xo
I love the cotton reels. Love them.
I also love that metaphor – feather by feather. Your gift with word and image never ceases to move and inspire me.
