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.


Today's link: amerrymishap on Instagram - I love the calm style of her photos so!

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...


Oh, and I've got a favourite for you: Norwegian girls Moa+Holmberg's new emagazine; SIGN

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!






(my calendar is by Gaƫlle Boissonnard - she's been my favourite artist for many years)

Big journey




Ps. The photo was taken by me yesterday and edited in Photoshop.

The Vsco + Instagram edited original can be found at my Instagram page.


Happy weekend =)

G is for...




I was invited to a dinner party the other day, and I made a couple of pins for the girls

(whose names both start with a G). These are the tiniest gifts I've ever wrapped...


These photos were taken with my iPhone and edited with the VSCO CAM app, which I

just discovered via this post, written by Rach at the lovely Penelope and Pip blog.

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:






You can view these photos and a couple more at my Instagram page!

Facebook fan page in this respect, but I'll also post links to nice things

I discover on the Internet. Maybe you'd like to follow Dear Demoiselle?

This will be my last treasury post. I'm very grateful for all these features, but it looks

like it's going to be too time consuming to blog every treasury. I had no idea that

my collages would be featured this often... Thank you so much!
