the apartment. these days

sunday morning roses. picked fresh.

glimpse of the dining room.

took the camera in the hand today.

inspired by tamara i suppose. and taking my own first photos

of my apartment. since moving in.

simply fragments. glimpses. fractions.

because that's how this home is evolving.

bit by bit.

a new start. a new chapter.

and those are the things i have yet to write about.

the original intentions of visiting here today.

but for now,

i'll simply share this. in fractions.

reflections. mirrored reflections.

in the dining room.

the bathroom.

of orchids. white towels. and mirrors.


some of my most favourite things.

a coffee bowl turned vase for summer flowers.

porcellan from angela johe and margitta hildebrand


a glimpse of the living room.

the tiled oven and fireplace.

more living room glimpses.

my baroque mirrors. my cherub candleholder.

a treasure brought back from amsterdam. in march.

the balcony.

and my first clematis that i planted. and it grew.

it's almost symbolic for me in a way.

an old birdcage, found at a flea market

and below a garden of green. lush summer green.

up the stairs and enter the bedroom.

there's a precious sensation

each and everytime i walk these stairs.

it's of space. of light. of intimacy.

and at night, lying in bed, gazing out the window beside the bed

let's me wish upon the stars and sleeping satellites...

yes, that little pink bird on the nighttable

keeps her watchful eye on me.

made by the one and only and ever so lovely alicia paulson

from posie - rosy little things.

fresh roses picked on a sunday morning

little tealights that flicker each night.

my bed is something special to me.

for stories told. maybe even stories to be told.

[said with a wink of the eye. and a smile on the face.]

i first spoke of her here

and then again here.

and to this day, i think she's become my centerpiece.

in a personal way.

a symbolic way.

and just a few of the books

that are being read. in fragments and fractions as well.

inspirations. stories. memories. hopes. dreams.

writing. reading. absorbing.

we all have something to say.
