HOME + STUFF:candice_profile2

Boots, bookstores, cookbooks, wood floors, wax, silver, new journals, beautiful homes, white towels, galleries, money.

FASHION + SENSUALITY:

Coffee, tomatoes off the vine, bakeries, incense, red wine, cheese, the weight of good linen, clean bathrooms, acoustic guitar and strings, mini-donuts at the fair, honey.

RELATIONSHIPS + COMMUNICATION:

My kids, time alone, Geminis—because their dry sense of humour makes me laugh, Johnny Cash.

NATURE + REST & RELAXATION:

Herbs growing in the garden. The beach, the desert, digging in the dirt. Of the earth, naturally sourced, edible; appeals to all of my senses; sensual, pure, sincere.

Treasure means to me: Handpicked; I choose you!

Organic

Spirit:
Organics are a divine dichotomy: practical but spontaneous, structured but flowing. The disposition of an Organic is like that of bamboo—light, incredibly strong, growing freely and prolifically. Organics are mindful of the connections between parts, whether in relationships, systems, or physical things. They keenly sense what’s going on (never miss a thing!) They are commonsensical, practical, and organized and adore systems and solutions that simplify or create ease and efficiency. Look & Feel: Organic’s aesthetic is based on sensuality, quality, and construction—whether structured or flowing, shape is important. Timeless or simplistic styles and handcrafted, socially responsible, or eco-friendly materials. Layered aromas, rich textures, enduring and natural fabrics and substances; hearty and sturdy; never static, always changing; free from manufacturing, overprocessing, and chemicals.
