this is something I’ve been thinking about for pretty much a week. I do miss someone and it hurts. so I thought I should use that feeling to try something new – like pinhole writing. it takes quite some time to get it right though: hole spacing and depth… so many factors to take account of. the result is imperfect yet lovely. pinhole art just feels so delicate. thank you Heather for inspiring me.

when, in the span of two days, I hear twice about a place, I take it as a sign. I must visit le petit atelier de Paris. it sounds and looks amazing. thanks Abigail and Keiko for the lovely find.

“grade A beans are oily and moist. beans may have vanillin crystals on the outside, these will melt back into the bean if heated.”

I’ve been wondering about those white cristals on my vanilla pods. now, I’ve found an explanation.

did a little blind contour drawing of the things that surrounded me. I just love my moleskine daily planner. so pretty; and useful too.

not in this order though.
bad picture. it’s dark outside. the warm brownies were good. soft and chewy. quite chocolatey as well.

it’s funny how little unpretentious stories can haunt you days and days after they’re gone. not so funny actually, but still very inspiring – at least for me.
