In the words of Walt Whitman, “We all need beauty as well as bread, places to play in where nature can heal, cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike." This quote encapsulates Star Bright Farm’s dedication to the simple and yet most nourishing pleasures of life. Our two dawson linens seem to fit right in at Helen Norman’s inviting, idyllic, 130-acre Organic Farm, with weathered wood and stone structures, ponds and fields. Alongside Art Director James Dunilinson and Stylist Beverley Hyde, Norman brought to life the moments one might have only dreamt existed in a fairytale. And not to mention Star Bright is host to a Farm market, Farm-to-table community suppers, workshops hosted by various artisans and even yoga in a sunlight-soaked barn. There is a sense of serenity and yet sensorial richness to Norman's work; the feeling of a cool breeze and the smell of freshly cut lavender are palpable in these images, inviting us to slow down and recognize the simple beauty in our daily lives and in the world all around us.
