october, 2014.
a few weeks ago, both vix and roville came to buenos aires
and i had the wonderful, wonderful chance to meet up with them

we talked for hours at a coffee shop
and then went for a walk to the botanical garden.
we stopped and gaze with joy at the pretty flowers,
screamed like teenage fangirls when we discovered there was free wi-fi,
took too many photos of our feet, frolicked about, stalked a few kitties,
screamed again, quite loudly, when we found a tangerine tree
and laughed and laughed until we cried.

days like these stay with you forever ♥

la saison des amitiés sincères (III)

february, 2014.
on a cloudy, not-too-hot february afternoon,
after countless emails, letters & movies watched together,
vix and i finally met face to face.

we had a lovely afternoon planned,
with french coffees and vintage books.
but, since the places we wanted to visit were closed,
we decided to improvise and strolled around
chatting & taking lots of pictures.

summer days (IV)

january, 2014.
on a sunny saturday morning,
when the temperatures reached 44ºc,
we packed our bags and escaped to a pool.

we ate poached eggs in white wine & avocados,
grapes and cheese, pork rillettes and honeydew melon;
we played in the water and cooled down beneath the trees.

even in the hotter of days,
there is something so refreshing
about walking barefoot on the grass.

(i'm a bit swamped with work and therefore a bit gone, i'll be fully back in about a week or two!)

january, 2013.

january's saturday mornings were spent in a midst of fabrics and threads
nini and i attended a workshop together* and sew our own plushies
i did a little bunny girl, nini a lovely kitty. she named hers rudi, i named mine cordelia,
and even if we live in two different parts of the world, in that moment we felt so close.


cordelia has a needle felted pompon tail,
she likes to wear pretty dresses with slips
and loves her little teddy bear very, very much.

* thank you, internet ♥

berries

"no need for bowl or silver spoon,
sugar or spice or cream,
has the wild berry plucked in june
beside the trickling stream."

a few weeks ago, mel. and i went to a park nearby,

gathered wild mulberries & strolled under the trees.

we felt just like kids again, remembering summers past

made of adventures, berries, starry nights and fireflies.
