HEY OHOY!

I just won the bidding on this little sailor dress on e-bay. That makes me very happy.



(Happy on certain levels, that is. I just read the newspaper that I didn't have time to finish in the morning and it strook me again, as everyday, how many sad and wrong things happen. All the time. Everywhere. There are news and articles everyday that makes me sad or angry. But one thing in the paper made me happy:

Mocha, the baby elephant in Thailand that lost its leg after stepping on a landmine got a prothese and can walk again. And even though the background to the Mocha story is very sad, this picture still made me smile and and wanting to cry a bit in the same time (I always cry a bit if I'm tired and read something that affects me in the paper. I'm a wino when I'm by myself).

EUROPEAN SPRING CHIC

...I actually had a lot of better things to do...


But it's the 29th of February.
So I just had to post something today.
And I don't seem to be able to get any work done.
I wonder if I should do yet another set? (no! no! no! Work, goddammit!)

WALL CANDY

This a mirror and I want it.

Mission for today : go check out Domestic.fr. They have candy for your walls - for your whole home actually. Design candy. Vinyl stickers, wall paintings, super cute porcelain plates, mirrors (like the fabulous one in the picture above) and more.

If I had a bigger flat with more free wall surface I might go for something like this (and if or whenI have kids I'll get them somtehing by Klaus Haapaniemi for their wall, like in the third picture below):

AH, SPRINGTIME!

Even though it's only February one can still feel spring in the air, it's warm. Mid-European winter climate, here we come! It's a bit sad too - the climate change has been pretty obvious the past years so I might be enjoying myself now but I'll curse all of this when the golf-course changes and we all freeze to death or so. Me and my small pretty shoes in the middle of the winter, blah!

Well, anyway, I like the bright light in early spring - it makes everything look so sharp and all facades on the houses look so clean and architectual somehow. I love to do walks in spring (even in shoes that may be just a little bit too small, ouch), and I took a nice on yesterday in a part of town close to mine, an area that I adore.

(Today it's been raining but the sun peeks from behind the clouds every now and then and that feels nice too. Great, so now you all know that. Over and out from the weather blog...)
