Sarah Stamm is a company of one - Salisbury and Maude is her business run from her farmhouse overlooking the Victorian Alps near Beechworth.Mornings start at the crack of dawn for Sarah Stamm with a kiss goodbye from her hubby. First she talks to her cat, checks messages from her ‘hungry and poor’ university aged children. Breakfast is always on the fly. No tea or coffee, just crisp cups of rainwater from the tank. Then onto creative work - be-it sewing, knitting or wreath making. In fact most days are not highly organised, there is much time communicating with her audience online or taking photos for social media. Work finishes when the fur-babies pester her too much for dinner. Easy dinner. Catch the nightly news. More knitting, some wordle and then bed around 9.30-10.00pm. “I sleep soundly and I dream in colour, it’s often when I do my best creative work.”Reading: Practising Simplicity by Jodi Wilson (who also has a Substack - hello Jodi Wilson !) Sarah loves the quote: “When we find perspective and we practice simplicity we learn to see and then embrace the beauty of our ordinary remarkable lives.” Get full access to Company on Sundays at companyonsundays.substack.com/subscribe
