i got mail!

from anemone (blog here), all the way from new zealand, arrived this creature...

a wabbit!

a wed wabbit!

the wabbit goes to a friends soon to come baby boy, but the collage is for me :)
sweet kimberlee at anemone also sent me an extra postcard (collage) with envelope, and had taken the time to write a letter. and look at the cute wrapping! (see the 'thanks' on the wooden peg?)

thank YOU!
i think i am about to have a serious etsy crush. i'm so fascinated with etsy that i hardly ever go there. i simply can't afford it right now (i'm not going to say much about that, except that it's bad, and has been since november. but it finally looks, this very week as a matter of fact, as if it's getting better). so ordering this was a treat, a luxury.
and what i loved about the collages, the wrapping and all, is that this is made by someone who takes repurposing seriously. i love the aesthetics of frayed, worn, stained and used, but many seem to want repurposed stuff to look almost as new. this paper was worn, and i loved it :)

the story of stuff

i am so glad that there are people willing to say a whole lot about what they believe in, and i am so happy when i find someone expressing my beliefs and values as well. no matter how simplistic, this woman sums it up pretty well (thank you bjørk, for leading me to this video)
please watch: the story of stuff

body changes: something's going on

it's called 'getting older'.
funny thing. undoubtedly, an ambivalent experience.
i'll try and be as bold as shelley is, but my challenge will be to look for beauty where change is happening. not sure i can do it, but i want to try.
would you like to try as well?

toy week: HER favourites





shells, stones, sticks, pinecones.
all the plastic boxes in the kitchen.
tape, string, pins.
toothpicks.


finding the plastic party glasses and straws and making a fiest for a wax bee. on top of a shelf with wheels attached to it.
now who, or what, can beat that?

crucial

reading the book AND watching the movie at the same time (the 3-d glasses has nothing to do with anything).
if you wonder, it's KIRIKOU - and if you haven't seen it, go do so!

to my wonderful, beautiful friend...

...life is full of little miracles, and you reminded me to look for them.
happy belated birthday!
