what i like about this summer so far:
(he had us waiting a loooong time)
.
having my sister visiting me for weeks
soon to be joined by an other one
.
adding apricots to almost every meal
especially savoury ones
.
basil blossoms
.
the smell of linden trees and Virginia creeper in full bloom
even more wonderful at night
.
a new stall at the farmers market:
a young couple selling their delicious sheep milk products
.
"my" flower lady at the same market
i´m such a good customer she actually misses me when i won´t show up for a week
it´s old variaties of tiny cushion pink carnations at this time of year
.
yet another new crazy coloured hydrangea
with brownish foliage
.
listening to W play the cornet at street festivals
singing his crazy version of Running Wild
his Dixiland Jazz band also plays Blueberry Hill "despite" its being a hit
to me such a hill would be the most perfect one
.
wearing:
and some vintage rhine stone jewellery
a favorite new sweater
lost of white and blue dresses and shirts
.
an exciting new project including pink pepper corns
.
working on our little Summer collection
which will be ready by the end of the week
.
dried rose petals and bee pollen - like in HEIDI´S yoghurt bowl
(thank you for the reminder, ALMA)
.
Nigel Slater´s TENDER - both volumes - so wonderful
already made the gooseberry pie twice
adding a bit of buckwheat flour to the dough and using ghee instead of butter
which results in the most tender crumbly crust
.
a new stamp for my packaging
looks a bit childish, so i just ordered another more grown up one
.
a TINY BOUQUET made with the first tiny hydrangeas and succulent flowers
.
the first currants from the garden
.
what i don´t like:
mosquito pest
a brand new awfully itchy sun allergie
managed to kill some of my begonias by fertilizing them
.
so many wonderful lists everywhere:
ALMA´S wonderful selections - always
