Yves and I met the day she walked into the loft I lived in with Ali of A Noble Savage. Dean street was a fertile habitat, a revolving door for creative expression and ecstatic madness. That old New York loft life is a garden that continues to thrive to this day. Ali, one of the best collectors in town, hosts the largest collection of RRL on the continent. The house is peppered with artifacts, antiques and rustic magic that leaves your jaw dropped upon entry. It was no surprise that his godchild would inspire equal majesty as she walked through the door one afternoon. We made fast friends, inspired each other with mutual love of all things honey, incantation, ceremony and mutual aid. It felt fitting that she would be the voice that enchants this blog.
