For this picture, there is no reason. Apart from the small happiness one feels when entering a house where time seems to have been standing still for decades. And finding textured wallpaper, emboidered sofa pillow-covers, and floors covered in carpets like this one.

Leftover red currant on a bush in my grand-mother-in-law’s garden. It’s the colours that I like – the red and the yellow. More nature art.
I have stripped the appletree of its fruit – well… the ones I could reach. In lack of a wowen wicker basket with a red/white checkered lining (imagine that… how romantic), I used what I had at hand: my hat. Almost 2 kilos in total. So now I have to figure out if they should be turned into applejuice or apple jelly. Hmm…
One of my childhood-dreams is to one day have a library, a big one with walls covered in books. For now, I enjoy my mini-version… which is not so bad, since this one also has a big old armchair in it.
I don’t mind the thought of a long cold winter when we have a garden shed stacked full of wood and logs… and a fireplace in the livingroom. In fact, I can’t wait for the snow to fall – and the hot chocolate to be poured.
Waking up late to hugs and smiles. Enjoying coffee with milk, whilst listening to jazz, and watching the sun make patterns on my wall. A perfect Sunday in October.
These days, there is no walking in the forest because of the hunting-season. So instead, I look at photos and imagine being there.
I hope I’ll never outgrow the ability to get instantly happy, just by shuffling through fallen leaves in winter boots. What joy to realize that the whole garden is covered in them!
This afternoon, I spotted the descending sun through the herbal mini-forest in the kitchen window. How pretty.
The most recent late-night-project. Now hanging above my creative cupboard-in-the-wall slash office. I only wish I had more frames and more buttons…
