/ October 20, 2010Åh, vad underbart fint att du har gått och blivit med blogg. Haha jag ÄLSKAR huvudbilden! Hoppas att allt är bra med dig annars. Jag och Jonas är i Shanghai, vet inte om du visste det. Han pluggar kinesiska och jag målar, passar mig som handen i handsken. Jag har faktiskt också en blogg, men inte lika fin som din.
Massor med kramar // Maria

/ March 6, 2011Hej!
Så väldigt trevligt att hitta till dig! Underbart rakt igenom, dina bilder, ämnet, allt. Så gediget. Jag lägger dig till min lista av inspiration! Jag är fascinerad av just folklore som grund till kläder av idag, den nordiska vackra naturen och arbetar med att göra mig en kollektion med just den utgångspunkten.
Jag ser fram mot att se mer av din produktion.

/ October 30, 2012Dear Laila,
I’m completely bowled over by your beautiful website! Gorgeous costumes, gorgeous photography; I’m very impressed by your high standards. I would love to share your exciting work on my tumblr (I’m giving its archive url so you can see it all at once): http://muirgilsdream.tumblr.com/archive Will you allow me to post your photos there? I’m sure they would get an enthusiastic response – and perhaps some book sales, too.
Thank you for your amazing work.

They are just gorgeous.
Do you think you might make a Calendar with some of the scenes in them?
Thank you for all your hard work on these books.

/ April 1, 2013Hi.
I would like to ask whether I would be allowed to use some of your beautiful photos in my fashion design portfolio at the university. I’m designing a national costume for women partly Norwegian, partly Finnish and I would need some photos to refer to in my history of bunads and gakties section. The name of the photographer will of course be listed in the sources.
I am a big fan of your blogg
