COLOURING SEPTEMBER MOODS

Hello September!

Gardens still bloom, meadows are filled with dragon flies near to the lakes. Every possible minute outdoors, sleeping under stars, watching full Moon and Aurora Borealis on dark sky. The cool misty mornings are swept away slowly with sunshine and warmth, until the evening cools everything to perfect temperature, to woollen cardigan weather.

A few new prints available in the small online shop! Meadow Path, that can be coloured in, Tree Village with blue evening moments, Butterfly Branches to savour the last summer moments and Buttercups to think of the new coming spring.

The Tree Village and Butterfly Branches were made with the kind support from Arts Promotion Centre Finland. Thank you for the support!

Long walks, warming drinks, starlight!

THE WIND BROUGHT WARMTH

The wind has changed. Dropping all the snow down from tree branches. Warming the air. I am afraid, but I think to have smelled the spring yesterday even though it snowed all the day heavily. This early. But that is how the spring comes, in steps. In storms. Backwards and forwards with the winter. I think that the winter still wins for some months.

There are two new prints in my shop. Rainy Day in A Nearby Forest and Stollinn:

— Drip drop sounds through leaves as raindrops are landing. Fresh scents of pine, cherries and birch tree leaves. Soft wet grass under bare toes. Gentle summer rain is here.

— Mountain called Stollinn is like a chair for a giant. It frames a small fishing village in North Iceland and holds a small glacier tightly behind its back. Weather keeps Stollinn playing hide and seek game. Sunshine makes it golden, mist and rain makes it to disappear.

How are you?

Here it is nap time of a Saturday evening. Then a long walk to see if the streets are already cleaned after the storm of yesterday. A bit of chocolate. A lot of tea. Lots of love.

TODAY I HEARD

Today I hear summer sounds of leaves dancing in the wind, yesterday the noon buses played puddles as piano keys on their way. The day before yesterday the sound was a lonely wind reaching everything it could touch with its long hems.

Blooming sounds has found a new home in a small wooden and glass box and traveled to a new town. Hopefully it plays the best radio tunes there.

Today a postcard was dropped from my mail box, over the seas from United Kingdom. Thank you! It is part of sweet Jill´s Today I Saw project. My postcard traveled back to the island last week, hopefully finding its way already to new hands.

The first orders from my shop were shipped yesterday and already I got a message that one had found its way to a new home, greetings to Helsinki! Kind greetings also to Singapore, where my painting arrived yesterday to a flooding city! Hopefully it is a gentle flood and only whispers on its way.

You all have been so kind with all your messages and orders, thank you so much, I have been smiling very much lately. Just to remind, my shop is still open this week and till the 24th of June before a small summer holiday.

Later this week you will find a small game here, please come back!

It is lunch time with scents of sweet tomatoes, avocado, basil and fresh warm wind on the balcony. My kindest summer greetings to you,

Anna Emilia

OPENING ON A CLOUDY DAY

Hello dear you,

It is a bit windy and the first very cloudy day in weeks. Like curtains on all the day long. Or maybe a soft cotton ball cover above protecting. This weather feels very soft.

The shop is officially open now! Hopefully you will like it. It will be open now for two weeks (till the 24th of June). Then comes a small summer trip while it is closed but it opens again in August. Please have a look, I would be happy to know what you think!

Also, the website is updated with a few new works.

A crow is flying around the house. First singing next to my balcony door, then on the other side by the bedroom window and by the balcony again. Nice to have such a gentleman keeping me company. I wish that he finds a safe place middle of twigs and leave branches before the rain arrives.

Glad I feel of every email and comment I have lately received, thank you, thank you thousand times for them! Next week we could have a small game here where at least someone could win a small gift from me as a thank you. Please come back then again.

Be well and enjoy the weekend with some fresh rain scent.

Love,

Anna Emilia

Hei siellä,

Ehkä tänään myös hieman suomeksi. Kiitos kaikille, jotka siellä seurailevat sääpäiväkirjaani.

Tänään on kaupan avajaiset, tervetuloa! Aukioloaika on kesäkuun 25:nteen, sitten on pieni kesäreissu, mutta puoti aukeaa taas elokuussa.

Myös nettisivuilta löytyy uusia töitä.

Ensi viikolla pelataan, joku voittakoon pienen lahjan minulta. Tule siis kiltti takaisin!

On pehemeä pilvinen päivä, lämpö tuntuu silti. Herra varis kiertää taloa ja kraakkuu milloin parvekkeella, milloin makuuhuoneen akkunalla, siisti herrasmies pitää seuraa. Kun vain pääsisi suojaan ennen viikonlopun sateita, havujen tai koivunoksien alle.

Sateenropinan onnea,

Anna Emilia
