Spring is around the corner, and with the time change next week it will feel like a whole new season. Our weather has been so out of whack this year, my daffodils are only starting to bloom now. It might almost be time to take a drive to look for wild orchids. When I was a young child, my mother would tell me I had to be very quiet and look very carefully to see the fairies around the wild orchids in the woods near our house. She told me that only children could see them. Wouldn't that be magical to see fairies flying around wild flowers?

These were from last summer, I was going to make a little book but never got around to it.

Not going out much these days other than doctor appointments and the hospital. Some photos from last summer to make me happy. Now, in January, the weather is so beautiful, I would love to go the river or the beach. We have had sunshine and upper 60's, low 70's all week.

Wild clematis near the Russian River.

I haven't tried any of the new polaroid films yet. Maybe its time to dust off some of those cameras and use them. I haven't used any cameras in a while, including an old one found at a garage sale that was given to me as an early birthday present several months ago. Same goes for the six rolls of expired film that came with it that I was so excited about but haven't bothered to put in a camera yet.

A tiny village perched on a cliff in south-western France. Talmont-sur-Gironde is beautiful and filled with hollyhocks, every street is lined with them. Another reason this village is so beautiful is that it is pedestrian only. Even the locals are not allowed drive into the village.

These are some of my collection of Bjørn Wiinblad ceramic pieces. All of these were given to me by my mom and aunt who collected them as young women in Denmark in the 60's and 70's. I continue to add pieces as I find them.

Recently, I've added other Scandinavian ceramics too, like this one (below) from Figgjo, I think the pattern is called Lotte.

A photo I took about ten years ago. It was a prototype for a bridal bouquet that ended up a lot different. I love the color of that old Studebaker my sister had back then and her arm holding the bouquet out the window.

Looking through old photos, these are nearly the same shot. Now I'm curious how many more I can find and put together.

Little bits of spring in the window.

I bought these at a thrift shop several weeks ago but have not worn them yet. They are to be worn under a sari and are beautifully made, all hand stitched. I hope I get a chance to wear them this summer. More photos on flickr.
