still her world

beautiful autumn afternoon at craft market
at my friend's place

her creations were all sold and
gone home with their new owners
as we congratulated 


on the desk almost empty
but still her world remains
with the soft shade of sun-set








工房からの風

友人のブースで
つかの間のお店番

作品は好評で何よりのこと。
全て新しい持ち主のもとへ
旅立ってしまったけれど

少し寂しくなった机の上にはいまだ
彼女の世界が凛として

her creation

it's been more than a month 
i've found a parcel when i came 
back from the mountain house

from a friend of mine, dear olga
living far but to me, always 
close in my heart

it was her giveaway present i joined:

as a result i was so so lucky to win these treasures

just a few days before my birthday in june

....so it came to me after flying somewhere

in the air for two months

not only with things she creates, but with
the words and stories she attaches to them
she takes me to her beautiful world, 
poetic, calm, silent, inspiration from nature
that i admire every time

i've been taking some pics these days
like making her world in my room
so here they are

　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　

her baby animal alphabet cards,

tiny twig, dried blueberries in vial,

sky blue beads reminds me of

some wild berries in woods,

and maple leaf for my tote

cornflower floating on copper
like old sepia tone photograph
though it still keep its deep blue
matched to my favorite tiny brown dish

square shaped rock

is like ordered to be cut for me

that i loved so much its

timeless robust beauty,

at the same time it reminds me of

rough sea and the high rock wall

of far ireland or 

tojinbo cliff, coast of the japan sea

and tiny house on a tiny rock island

floating on my summer blue linen skirt,
she's inspired from where she was born
taken me to an imagination of beautiful lake country
or the one tove jansson spent her whole summers

writing 'summer book' which made me smile

when i knew olga also like reading it

and what made me so impressed were:

this mimosa painting card and 

the pendant named

'broken flower'

she's remembered

i wrote some months ago

that i love those things so much, but

the pendant was sold out then

so she has made it for me this time

                  it was nice with my pale pink-gold-silver tone petal storm print cloth!

and let me add this one also

that olga sent me last winter:

fern on brass locket has become

somehow like antique now.

i love it so much to see

and it really nice with

simple sweater or t-shirt, anything

again thank you so much, olga

getting colder and cozy here

i enjoy

reading and watching

you have created
