Tower

Sometimes in the packing process, vignettes just happen - like this little tower

I bought the Dalahorse in Sweden when I was a kid - long before they became all the rage

on the Internet (actually, long before we had heard about the Internet). It's a nice

souvenir from the family summer trips we took with our old, battered VW Beetle.

The red box is from  a local Salvation Army store. I use all kinds of boxes to

organize my supplies and tools. It's really practical - and it looks pretty, too.

Outside

Another day of packing - which means another day inside the apartment

...but at least I caught this beautiul feather before it continued its journey with the wind.

I'm so busy getting ready with everything, and it's easy to forget the outside world.

So yesterday, I abandoned my boxes in favour of a milonga with my tango friends.
 
Just a tiny breath of normality...

Vignette

This is making me happy today: my beloved Sophie Conran bowl on the coffee table.

Every day, I'm trying to create spots of normality amidst the ever-changing packing chaos.

August

My apartment today: banana boxes, disorder, and a calendar that says: 14 days to go!

Almost summer

The last weeks have been absolutely crazy, but I'm still here

- even though I've had to put my creative life on the shelf for a while.

This weekend, I left everything and went to see my mum

(as we do when we need to collect our thoughts a bit).

It was a beautiful summer weekend:

Treasury feature: homage to Andrea Missé

One of my "The Tango Shoe Is Dreaming" collages got featured in a very special treasury yesterday:

This treasury is an homage to Argentine tango dancer, Andrea Missé, who sadly passed away in a car

accident this week. Andrea Missé was one of the greatest contemporary female tango dancers -

she was beautiful, elegant and highly skilled. I'm honoured to be included in this treasury.



The treasury was curated by Federica Belli - thank you Federica!



The below video is from TangoCamp Sweden, in the same room I saw Missé perform in 2006.

I've chosen a milonga because I feel this dance celebrates the joy of Argentine tango -
