I’ve finally found the desktop wallpapers of my dreams. twenty beautiful patterns to make your computer look pretty.

thank you tess & liz.

things couldn’t be better. I’m back from three days spent in the loveliest place ever in company of my favourite people on earth. I took tons of great polaroid pictures. I have a new laptop. I just received a package from gerstaecker; pretty much everything I need to make my own prints.

I’ve always dreamt about printing my own designs. but as much as I’d love to, a letter press is just two expensive for me right now, and goccos are impossible to find around here.
then, I came across linoprinting. and felt happy.

I’ve drawn a couple of series I intend to print; one of those being about polaroid cameras. love them so much I don’t want to forget about them. never.
I plan to carve the lino tonight and hopefully, I’ll have some beautiful results to show you tomorrow.

I came across Maria Forde’s beautiful website today, and totally fell in love with her illustrations.

it’s funny how I love documenting my meals through photographs. it feels so relaxing and different from my usual food photography.

I never use many props. I just love clean shots, with vibrant colours, that highlight the food itself. overstyled food photography just isn’t for me. and despite my love for very simple pictures, I still pay a lot of attention when shooting for foodbeam.

however, when I plan on talking about one of my meals around here, I just need some white fabric - or as in today’s picture, my window’s border - and I’m all set.
I love how spontaneous this feels. no editing. the pictures are just resized, uploaded and worded.

I know some of those pictures aren’t the best around, but I love them. love how fresh they are. and I really hope you like them too.

I picked a couple of books at a garage sale last week end for barely nothing. in the pile stood this lovely children’s book: daniel et valérie à la montagne.

1981.

and still rocking. and makes me happy.

I’ve been feeling overly tired lately - definitely need to do that blood test soon. and as if this wasn’t enough of a sensation, I’ve been in that not so lovely state, in which I don’t like the - very few - things I make.

need to get better soon. maybe eating berries packed with vitamin C might help. on this latter note, the farmers market was gorgeous. I lvoe summer.

damn, this makes me want to 1) take even more polaroid pictures; and 2) fly to LA. wishing. hard.

avocado with lemon juice, finely sliced onions and cayenne pepper, onto svensk bread.
mango and bufallo milk mozzarella.
raspberry and dark chocolate fondant cake.

these are a couple of things I’ve enjoyed this past week. so very delicious. I just love avocado. and mango too. and quite obviously, raspberries as well.

cleaned up my desk today and found those pretty things, which happen to make me super*happy.
