New armchair and beautiful  rose hip (very early isn't it?) were enough to set my imagination on fire today... :)

Nice sticker (Follow your mountain) from a dear friend Miha Ha who has an exhibition opening tonight. Check it out if you are near I bet you won't be sorry.

Sunday. Time to rest... a bit. :)

●●●

On my windowsill: new issue of Kinfolk magazine (I am so excited that it's focused on Japan and I am also happy to see that includes an article about Fog Linen) and our rock collection. Both inspiring and beautiful.

Two lovely ladies came to visit and to meet Veno for the first time. The Little Prince book was a gift for our little prince off-course.  :) And I've read the words "All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it." again after a long time... only now they have a new meaning for me...

I've been banging my head for years because I didn't buy this book years ago when I was in college. When I finally decided to buy it I realized they were all sold out and nowhere to be found... imagine my surprise and excitement when I saw that they reprinted it again this year. And it is truly as they say "Scandtastic"! :) It arrived today and cheered me up after some bad news we received about our already delivered and payed bathroom tiles... as it seems they are not the ones we picked (and apparently they don't exist besides the samples from which we chosen them months ago) and we have to choose different ones all over again...

Besides good company there is always something interesting and beautiful to find in our friend's house...

It was too hot for a walk today so we found a shadow in a nearest park and read books instead. Ram's idea to wear flip-flops has proven to be very wise so I quickly put my shoes and socks down as well (his flip-flops are huge hehe). Welcome May!

Two today's jewels... wonderful Kinfolk magazine and fresh basil (oh that smell!!!)... and the third  were few sun rays after a long time (now it's raining again)...

●●●

Nice small things... Blueberry muffin for a snack (not homemade unfortunately), Ram's (unplanned) striped  socks collection, evidence of my mum's visit which made me really happy since it's so boring being ill and not be able to meet anyone (I asked her again if she could teach me how to crochet since I never practice and then I forget), the smallest and the cutest illustration made by Miha Ha, part of my beloved collection of Paumes books,... and the wonderful fact that I can finally partially breathe through my nose after almost two weeks! :)

●●●

I am still ill and I don't have no new photos to show so I thought of these few from summer time when Iva visited me in my studio (more posts: here and here) and we were creating side by side. You can see some of my ghost/creatures which I made from clay... ah this seems so long ago.

I am spending my week in bed because of a bad cold and it doesn't seem that it will go away so soon. I try to rest as much as possible and try to kill time with movies, books, cups of hot tea and so on... right now I am admiring Claire Loder's wonderful book which arrived today. I admire her work so much, she is an amazing artist and I hope I will be able to afford one of her sculptures someday. :)

Ps: Daffodils bloomed from previous post... they are not my favorite flowers at all but they make a nice contrast with outside snowy weather.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!***

I'm gonna start it by reading a new book; Nigel Slater's Kitchen diaries which was on my wish list for years. "I have always loved the first day of the year. A day ringing with promise" the author says and I am already hooked by this book. :)

After week of joyous visits, gatherings and feasts cold reminded me to take some time just for myself so I spent most of my day at home in my pajamas watching Mad man, reading books, drinking tea and resting. It would be nicer to do all that without the cold though... :)

photos: our Christmas tree, gnomes I made out of clay, Stella's ceramic candle holder, Božična knjiga - gift from our friends and evidence that it's high time to wash our windows. :)
