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
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
