Today I had the pleasure of meeting @mollyhaynes_ Today I had the pleasure of meeting @mollyhaynes_ in her new studio in Los Angeles! I’ve been a fan of her work since we featured her in an article about @newyorktextilemonth on thekindcraft.com last year. After so many months in quarantine without travel, it was really special to meet IRL in the studio today. 🤍 Thank you for having me, Molly. Welcome to California! x x Lauren
