summer.

little drawing I made after first having read 'Emma' and completely falling in love with it.


My summer days smell like fresh paint, pencils, tea and the yellowing pages of my old Jane Austen books.

If "perfect" would have a face, I am pretty sure it would look like summer. I'm spending my days of sun drawing, painting, picniking with friends and in the evenings you can always find me drinking tea and reading my beloved Jane Austen tales next to my open bedroom window. The sky is so peaceful.
Everything is so immensly beautiful once it's touched by the gentle summer, don't you think? xx

happy list.


Baking Cake
There's something about baking and the sweetness of cupcakes I just can't resist. Since school's out and I have nothing to do I've been baking cupcakes like crazy. Happily, my friends keep lots of parties where my little pieces of sugar are always welcome. Click here for baking inspiration.


Sarah McNeil
Ohh, what can I possibly say about this wonderful girl? She's immensly talented and one of my favorite artists. I found out about her via Frankie Magazine and instandly fell in love with her prints. See for youself: her flickr, portofolio and a little piece of heaven; her adorably etsy-shop.

Lovely art blogs
This magical blog by the Australian freelance illustrator called Kelly Smith is dangerously addictive, beautiful and magical. I always find myself going through her archive looking for inspiration and well, I always seem to find it there.


Cameras
I suppose I'm a little vintage camera obsessed but I just can't help it. Everytime I see one, I want to have it. Currently I have five of them, of which three are useful. My favorite is the Autographic Brownie. I bought my Browniefriend on Portobello Road (London) a couple of years ago. Whenever I use it I feel like looking through a time capsule, the thing must be 50 years old and still, it workes perfectly.

The Honey Trees
The Honey Trees are an indie pop band from California I've recently found out about. Click here for a listen. Aside from being musically gifted, aren't they just beautiful to look at as well? They're great, one of my favorites. xx

my tiny dream.




This is my favorite print by a wonderful artist I just stumbled upon. Her name is Jenny and she must create the sweetest pieces of art ever. You can see them all on her site but when you'd like to own one of her dreamworks yourself, check out her lovely etsy shop.
What's left to say? I'm a fan. xx
PS: What do you think about the new blog? ;)
