a home - collect textiles from the<br />

places you visit, bring them home<br />

and use them everywhere. I like to<br />

use them as art on the wall, to cover<br />

furniture or as a curtain, etc. I<br />

also like to find small objects from<br />

every place I visit that will remind<br />

me of that trip - things that end up<br />

in vignettes around my house.<br />

As a traveler, tell us about a moment<br />

that changed your life and<br />

why you think traveling is important?<br />

Visiting the Anne Frank house in<br />

Amsterdam really made the magnitude<br />

of WW2 real for me, more<br />

than any book, story, or movie ever<br />

could have. It gave me so much<br />

empathy for those in the world who<br />

have to live in fear and made a big<br />

impact. It’s important to be able to<br />

see how other people live; it grows<br />

your world view and it makes you<br />

more open, and able to see yourself<br />

in a whole new way too. Travel<br />

can put things into perspective.<br />

You have an amazing blog, design<br />

business, several books under your<br />

belt and now a line of products…<br />

As a brand, what’s next for Justina<br />

Blakeney?<br />

Thank you! More blogging, more<br />

books, more products, more jungalicious-ness!
