Bare feet walking on white sand and shallow waves, wind blowing. Lighthouses appearing from behind mountains or top of them. Walking over a half desert peninsula to find on the other side the highest solitary waves, playing in them. Jumping and being thrown down to the sea bottom, feeling the power of the turquoise sea.
Jasmin was the scent of the air on our walks, the taste of the sweetest mangos in our mouths. A new magical island.
Yesterday I returned home to another kind of hot summer evenings. Everything is old, familiar and dear, but it feels also very new the same time. Trips could still last forever. Moments to breath, hold memories and remember new thoughts that they won´t disappear.
It looks like thunder here, but the weather might be just tricking me. The sky could be soon again filled with the tickling whiskers of the sun. I am settling down slowly, but the shop is again open. Thank you to everyone who has wrote me during these weeks, I will answer you very soon.
Hello dear all of you, how is your season? How are you? So happy to meet you here again.

Hei kultainen Essi,
Kiitos! Atlantilla oli turkoosia ja Saharan hiekkaa väreinä.

ReplyDeletethanks for your lovely blog!

anna anna... you are back from your exotic travels! I will have to wait another month to go to most colorful exotic indian land! I hope to hear from you soon, your parcel lasted all June, Juli with rediscoveries, as I moved my room to the small but sunny side and when unpacking my things again could enjoy the pictures and lovely words! Now a green tea, with special flavour :) and many thoughts from a quite creative sbeen (designing the windows for the Peter's Yard to-go-unit.. hanging cones, cups, spoons and big round crispbreads... pictures soon!). A big hug and big thank you for your words (and also the postcard!!).
ReplyDeleteHappy sbeen sends happy smiles to Suomi! We named our drip-coffee Suomi! The swedish shop-owner Peter explained why, but I already knew ;)
moi moi!xs

ReplyDeletei am so excited about your little shop - bravo! i look forward to having some of your inspiration in my home someday. i'd love to be able to by one of your paintings! someday!
welcome home
Dear Carolina,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Very happy to be at home when someone was waiting (:
It feels always so strange to feel home by the sea indeed (even this time I was also a bit scared of its power), at least when I was born middle of forests and fields.
Have a happy weekend and thank you for stopping by!
...
Hello dear Kim,
Thank you for your words and greetings all the way from New York, one of the places to dream about!
Please come back soon again!
...
Moi moi dearest Sbeen,
Good luck for your travels to a huge country of adventures! (Try to find a lighthouse and an elephant to a same picture :)
Sounds lovely in Peter´s Yard, eager to see what you have made. I read a small article about them and their buns on the way back home.
Hugs. Many of them.
...
