Yesterday was a really creative day. I couldn't stop until 4:30 in the morning.

I got start inspiration in (beautiful) winter's TOAST catalog for this one.

I won, I won :)

Have you ever won anything on blog giveaways? I never did until now. I left a comment (like 111 people did) on lovely Pikaland's Giveaway no. 23 and I never thought of it again until I received an email that I won the main prize! YAY! I received a lovely package of beautiful and inspiring things from Jen Collins aka hellojenuine. Thank you Jen and Amy! Giveaways rock! I hope I'll be able to arrange one myself soon.

weekend

I went to show opening of Danijel Demšar's puppets and drawings in my friends gallery Lična hiša, had a really good first "Book club" debate with my friends, celebrated my cousin's birthday and laughed a lot this weekend. What did you do?

I went to the library today with a mission to borrow as much books about The Moomins as I can find since I only have one picture book (Moomin, Mymble and little My) which I bought in Helsinki few years ago. Off course I know Moomins and their creator Tove Jansson but I've never actually read her stories and somehow today seemed perfect to start. They used to show the cartoons on TV when I was small and all I remember is that I was a little bit frightened by Little My since she had really annoying voice and looked somewhat mean to me. :) I started with Trollvinter and I am enjoying it very much so far. On top of it I found a little snowman in one of the books...

I found this faces in one of my old notebooks. I guess the lecture wasn't so interesting and I occupied myself with drawing them. Now I kinda miss lectures... :)

We've put two new shelves in our hallway. I am really happy every time I walk by.:)

Open house, Rob Matthews's Wikipedia, Manos leaf bowl.

(about) treasures

Alessandra left a comment on my post about Little red wish and just said that she has something for me... can you imagine? She sent me this beautiful white Dala horse just like that! I am so grateful for this act of kindness!

Beautiful Rebuild Square print came from Elisabeth who I am sure you all already know. I am so happy to make art swaps like that anytime!

Thank you again ladies!

...brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things...

Two packages were waiting for me in my mailbox today! One from Elisabeth and one from Alessandra. What a wonderful way to start a week! I will show you the treasures soon!
