COUNTERS OF RAINWATER AND HEIGHTS OF FIREWOOD STACKS






Happy Father´s Day isi and pappa!

Forests, lakes, fields. Of those are these men made of. Of coffee in a thermos bottle, newspapers and radio. Firewood, summerhouses and sauna. Rocking chairs, birds and squirrels. Blue skies. Pine wood. Of early mornings.

That alder tree orchard is a field of green grass now. Those two little eskimos are a bit older now, me and my brother. They tell that it will be the winter of the winters this year. Maybe I should keep the knitting needles more busy and make hats like those. A Sunday is good for that, for every layer of paint drying.

Thank you for all your orders (and emails and comments) once again, they make me so happy! The Apple Blossom Meadow -print is sold out at the moment, but I will make some more during the next week.

Sunday of blue music, date-blueberry-cake and frost blue paint.

All my love,

Anna Emilia

    I don't like the cold, but you always make me wish I could go to Finland and be an eskimo myself...

  5. Oh, I like this post!
    I've got some Inuitblood in my veins, so some part of me is rembering.

    Diana is right...you always seem to make the cold and snow seem so warm and inviting!

  10. lovely post anna emilia. i love your isi's house. it reminds me of grandparents' houses in scandinavia--a mishmash of classic old furniture, trasmattor (rag rugs) and new furniture, textiles, flowers and framed photos. and of course, the crooked painting. also love his purple pants and slippers. looks cozy.
    and your cards are beautiful.
