I felt defeated {as many of you are right now at the state of things} that I couldn’t move forward with visiting the property, photographing it, inspections and planning etc.  I was reminded that things happen as they are meant to, and that the true Sanctuary is within.  The buildings to everyone else for a decade now have been abandoned, derelict and without purpose… it was the intentions I had for them, the vision I was beginning to share with other creatives that was bringing it to life, allowing it to manifest into reality.

      When we considered the blog we wanted it written from the perspective of Sanctuary, we knew there were certain rooms that we would be so in love with. The Literature of the Libraries, the Growth of the Gardens, the Nostalgia and Heirlooms in the Attics, the Aromas wafting down the Corridors from the Kitchen, Artistry from the Drawing Rooms, and little bits of Spells and Magick from the Apothecary.   

      We don’t have to wait to begin bringing you these things, so we’re not.  I’m hoping the blog will actually help you understand what we are trying to build here.  Maybe, if it calls to you, you’ll help us build it too, and while we all wait to see what this post pandemic world will be, we’ll find some sanctuary within.
