This Is A Good Place

To sit down and rest a while.

Hello there! Welcome to Dandelion Seeds, an illustrated newsletter in search of the magic in everyday moments.

And welcome to our newest community collaboration, This Is A Good Place — a collection of moments written by you, illustrated and hand-lettered by me, and inspired by this question:

What is your good place?

At the end of every series, I always love to bring all the stories together, to make it easier to share or return to in the future. But I loved this series so much, that I’ve also created something new for this final week: a new cover illustration.

It features the very bench where my daughter Elena first began saying, “This is a good place,” as we’d find a seat in our favorite park and listen to the robins and blue tits singing in the treetops above us.

And it also captures my hope for this series over the past month — that it’s been a good place for you to visit each week, to sit down and rest a while.

With love,
Candace
