a bit of green today

W picks up buckets full of little apples every day

my South African beauty started to bloom right in time for the World Cup

hydrangea in the making

lady`s mantle and a little guy sitting on his own vase - one of the things i got on my successfull flea market weekend

E doing a bit of plein air last weekend

the smell of basswood makes you think it´s summer and even the nights are warm

but that´s not true at all - i`m still sleeping with my hot-water bottle

an other bit of fabric - a scarf i´m very in love with, got it at the Blickfang fair in Stuttgart a few years ago - it´s from Hosse, Switzerland

it´s raining almost every day here

so many of Ss roses are rotten on the inside before they blossom out

look at that! K sent off a postcard with a reindeer and got one with a fawn (isn´t it the best?!)- i think they should become pen pals!

at the bottom you can see an amazing drawing of several sea creatures - the card even said hello in german!

thank you so much Maribeth and Kristen!!!

we love those cards!

the most beautiful postcard from the "today i saw" swap just arrived - you just wait and see!

(in the meantime i try to take a decent picture of it...)

made these with a maple flavoured mint yogurt

and a bit of fabric - i think you can guess where it´s from
