"Leave room in your Garden for the Fairies to Dance" here has me thinking about gardening again.

 

 

This retired ladder, here,  made me think of displaying my little treasures

that I brought over the weekend from house in the North.

 

Anne's fabulous pillows made me think of a chinese jar , hidden somewhere in the North.

For another trip, perhaps.

 

 

We keep looking for a new home.

My prefered luxury would have to be a pool.

This one looks so charming and it is a real life project!

 

 

I hope you are having a lovely time,

 

Capsule living

 

 

 

 

Hus-1 is a small house designed and built by Torsten Ottesjö. The building was constructed on site. The idea is a dwelling as personification. The dwelling features convex walls which seam together with the floor creating both a sense of airiness and a naturally curved seating space along the sides of the interior. The structure is free-standing, so it can be moved anywhere; though the feeling is that it has actually sprouted out of the ground it rests on.


The 25 sqm house aims to provide a living space beyond understanding. It is supposed to fit, to enable - not to distract or cause attention. Hus 1 regularly houses two people all year round but visiting friends always have room. Kitchen, sleeping quarters, dinner table, hallway and other functions are well integrated on just 25 square metres of living space.

TORSTEN OTTESJÖ is an architect based on the Scandinavian west coast who conceptualizes, designs, and constructs the works you see below. He believes in complexity, improvisation, and functionality. Torsten wants to inspire a different sort of building - something more suited to human beings.

Happy 4th of July !

Artists: David Graeme Baker

I came across the work of David Graeme Baker and I really loved it. 

It is true and honest, and  it is beautiful.

I love his colour palette. 

And as always I love to observe the creative process. 

I find it so encouraging to see how it all starts and evolves and develops. With time and little steps, and faith for a result that will be beautiful and true to your vision.

With Thanks for all the beauty and labor.

A day on the beach

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They insisted we went to the beach.

I nearly missed it for lack of tankini bottoms.

Thank God I can still fit in my bikinis.

 

And so we went.

 

And I probably had more fun,

needed it more than they did,

and overall relaxed.

 

Summertime on the beach=Love
