As She Was / Down In the Meadow

Here at mypiggywiggy we ardently believe that abiding by Henry David Thoreau's quote "live the life you have always imagined" doesn't mean living a life of extravagance and luxury. Quite the opposite really as we aspire to live lives of simple and attainable beauty rooted in kindness, nature, and community.

This small sampling of found vintage photos from the 19th and 20th century depict women in fields and meadows, luxuriating among the flowers with dear friends or in solitude. We hope these photos inspire you to go and seek out a field of flowers this summer season, to pack a small picnic, and to gather stems of wildflowers to later press or craft into a summer crown for your hair.
