‘Seeing the Beauty Again’ or STBA is a collection I developed during the toughest days of the Covid-19 virus. When the lock-downs seemed to make everything that was fun and pleasant and natural so out of reach. Now that most countries are opening restaurants, public places, their parks and beaches and even their borders again, more and more of the things we reached out for for such a long time are or will be soon reality again. I think for some people it doesn’t work coming close to each other again, but with the new rules, we can at least meet each other, go places again, feel that well earned freedom again.

I hope that one day we will all again be able to visit friends, have a job, go places, have fun again. This all is the Seeing the Beauty Again collection.

Here’s a little freebie for you today, Enjoy!!!
