✨ Sometimes magic is found in the smallest details. This delicate bloom, captured with the Lensbaby Edge 80 Optic, feels like it’s dancing in a dream—soft swirls of bokeh guiding your eyes right to the heart of the frame. 🌿💫

What I love about the Edge 80 is how it transforms simple moments into something extraordinary—shifting focus, painting with light, and creating that painterly blur that feels alive. It’s less about “taking a picture” and more about “telling a story through focus.”

Captured beautifully by @c_minak_tobin, this image is a perfect reminder that photography is not just about what we see, but how we choose to see it. 🌸

Every flower tells a story, but it takes the right lens to truly listen. 🌱✨
Captured with the Lensbaby Composer Pro + Sweet 35 optic and a 16mm Macro Converter, this image draws you into the quiet poetry of a bloom just beginning to rise. The dreamy blur and delicate focus are exactly why we love shooting with Lensbaby—there’s simply nothing like it when it comes to capturing nature’s soft whispers and bold beginnings. 🌸💚

Huge shoutout to the incredibly talented @c_minak_tobin for seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary and turning it into art. 🙌 Your macro work inspires us to slow down and really see.

A burst of nature’s brilliance, captured with intention and soul. 🌸✨⁠
This dreamy macro shot by @c_minak_tobin pulls us into the vibrant heart of a flower, where color, texture, and softness dance in perfect harmony. Every detail, from the delicate pollen-covered stamens to the warm glow of the petals, is brought to life using the Lensbaby Composer Pro with Sweet 35—a lens that transforms everyday subjects into visual poetry. 💛📷⁠

The Sweet 35 optic delivers that signature Lensbaby “sweet spot” of focus, beautifully surrounded by an ethereal blur that feels almost painterly. This lens isn’t just a tool—it’s a creative portal that invites you to slow down, lean in, and see differently. 💫⁠

Let this image remind you: there’s magic in the details—and sometimes, the closer you look, the more beauty you discover. 🌿💖⁠

Christina gave me such a unique and unexpected gift, home made watercolours using earth pigments, honey, thyme, peppermint oil (I think!). She is a sorceress. They are a pleasure to use and I’m so grateful - I’m not yet stitching or knitting again and going slightly up the wall. I had some fun with this little design today.

A group of stitchers have been meeting monthly at my house since 2014. At our peak we numbered 16, now we are about 10. I cannot describe how precious our meetings and these women are to me. No holds barred, we talk of everything, from joy to deep grief, politics to family life, our disappointments and our achievements, we laugh and we cry. We create beautiful things and 6 hours later we feel as if we’ve had the best therapy session ever - which turns out to be friendship 💕. #friendship

I loooove Christmas shopping at Christina's! Everything is so beautiful.

The decor, the products, the food is amazing. It's like going to a mini Christmas market but inside where it is nice & warm!

Every time I am amazed with the talent of this woman. Her beautiful ecologic soaps, candles, creams,...
& also the amazing women I meet there.

Christina you are an amazing host & artist!

Bravo!
