Magical Moments
Some moments are better left secret with no words to replicate their purity, no image to match their beauty, no close enough heart to feel their power.

My most favorite jewellery piece
Sometimes post ideas pop out of nowhere. Like right now. I was on the way to take a shower after another beautiful hot day in Toronto.
