The bond between a father and daughter is unique and special, but like any relationship, it can face challenges and strains.

This article explores ways to bridge the gap and heal the emotional distance
Signed paperback copy of Mending Life: A Handbook for Repairing Clothes and Hearts ____ Mending Life is a beautifully illustrated, practical tool kit for repairing the clothes and belongings we love. It is also an exploration of how mending can be a gently healing practice in our daily lives and a small act of rebellion in a world where many things are discarded without thought. Mending Life encourages us to cherish our things by repairing them rather than discarding them. It also encourages us to change our consumption habits so that with small mends here and there, we extend the life of our garments and other household items. This handbook is for beginners but also offers more advanced techniques to those with some experience in mending. You'll learn basic techniques such as patching, but will have options to take it a step further with decorative sashiko stitching; you'll also learn how to darn socks and mend sweaters, as well as things like a tear in a bedsheet or down jacket. And along the way, the authors share heartfelt stories about the powerful act of mending, which strengthens not only the object we are repairing, but ourselves as well. Vibrant, full-color illustrations are woven throughout the handbook. Mending Life is a timeless, practical guide to cherishing and caring for our belongings. _____ By Sonya + Nina Montenegro, first published by Sasquatch Books, 2020. Paperback version 2023. REVIEWS ________ “In this thoughtful and gorgeously illustrated book, Nina and Sonya Montenegro remind us what our grandmothers taught us: that mending is a radical exercise, both in its creative play and in its role in fighting consumerism and waste. For anyone who yearns to mend but needs helpful advice, this is the coziest book you’ll ever own.” —Lisa Congdon, artist and author “[Mending Life] positions making things by hand as a path to a less consumerist, more centered, maybe even more spiritual existence.” —Publishers Weekly “This lovingly crafted book is a call and practical guide to a new materialism. No more throwaway mentality: throwaway clothes, throwaway people, or throwaway planet! Mending Life invites us back into real care and love for the material world, and by extension, all the worlds of our experience.” —Charles Eisenstein, author of Sacred Economics, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible, and Climate—A New Story “It is so refreshing to read through this beautifully organized and illustrated book. It will inspire you to take the time to engage with your second skin in a manner that was almost lost to the tsunami of fast fashion. Regenerating your wardrobe with your own two hands is an act that gives the planet an opportunity to rest and repair itself." —Rebecca Burgess, founder of Fibershed and author of Fibershed and Harvesting Color “This powerful book, full of care and gratitude, will inspire you to give new love and attention to the objects in your wardrobe. But it will also awaken you, challenging you to rethink your outlook on the world and your role in it.” —Anna Brones, author of Fika and Live Lagom “This is a heartwarming tribute to generations before us as much as it is a practical and mindful toolkit for learning to repair our belongings. You’ll be well equipped to tackle any snag, hole, or frayed end. A patch we mend into our favorite jeans becomes a thoughtful story about what we value. This is a book to treasure.” —Andrea Marie Sanders, meditation teacher and artist _________ See the rest of our shop: www.etsy.com/shop/thefarwoods Let's be friends!! <3 INSTAGRAM: @thefarwoods and @nimonte <3 FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Far-Woods/404144503010499 All designs © Nina & Sonya Montenegro Reproduction rights do not transfer with sale of items.

Gorgeous fine art print for the home, celebrating the beautiful art of Kintsugi, or 'golden repair'. As well as looking good, there is an inspirational message behind such art and how it relates to our lives. This philosophy of mending or healing is the central theme behind such a piece. This print is very special to us and is one of the main reasons we started this business. We created it and have the very first reproduction of it in our own lounge to remind us that our own grief will ease in time. *********************************** Printed below the picture are the words: "Golden repair": the art of repairing broken pottery using lacquer mixed with gold dust. Rather than seeking to hide the fractures, it adds new complexity and greater strength than before. We must not be afraid to show our own scars, for every layer of gold we apply to ourselves makes us stronger and more precious. Accepting the beauty of our imperfections will mend our souls. *********************************** It is a reminder of how we need to accept imperfections and celebrate our lives and that difficulties that we face only add to our inner strength. This would look good in any room, from dining room, living room, hallway and even the bedroom. HIGH QUALITY PRINTS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PRODUCT, FRAMES ARE NOT INCLUDED. Available in multiple sizes - select from the list above. Museum-quality poster made on thick and long-lasting matte 200gsm paper. Shipped in sturdy packaging to protect the poster so it arrives undamaged and ready to frame.
