Tabula comes from the Roman tabula or wax tablet which was used for notes and then 'blanked' by heating the wax and then smoothing it to give a Tabula Rasa.
During the first week of this year I have been filling many empty pages with thoughts, dreams and desires which I hope will be given life in the coming days, my mind has been very busy indeed.
There is something sweetly synchronous about filling a wax slate with the the ideas from a busily buzzing mind.
I can't wait to share some of my plans with you in the coming days, until then you might enjoy looking at more images like this beautiful photo by the talented Charmaine of Fairchild Street fame.
If you are visiting from Allison's weekend rewind, welcome. I hope you can see the connection with this week's theme?!?
I'll look forward to that! x

Felicity, I'm loving the new look blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the above photo. I'm loving that you want to share with us your plans.
I'm not loving the colour of your links though. I have to squint to read them. I can barely make them out. Just sayin'.

You may like to check it out because I had so much fun doing it. It's got a bit of everything fashion, interiors, food, travel spots - hopefully you will find something in there that you like.
Thanks for providing me with such great entertainment!
Cheers

I'm drawn to the concept of Tabula Rasa too. I first heard the term when I was studying landscape architecture in the 90s - it's an almost impossible state in the landscape, but I do love beginning a fresh note book (which I did today, over a latte - rare bliss!)
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the clean look of your page!
Thank you for all the thoughtful, generous and encouraging comments gorgeous girls.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading what you place on your own Tabula Rasas and sharing mine with you as the pages of this year turn over.
Biggest of hugs,
Felicity x
It's great you have so many dreams and plans, new year always feels like a fresh start to me as well! DO share your thoughts :)

I have been thinkng a lot recently as well, and travelling a bit, coming home after a short trip made me look at some things... with proper perspective :)
I wish I had the courage to follow my dreams...
