tere! tere!

I have to admit, I didn't know where Estonia is.
Shame on me!! I'm really bad in geography *sigh*
But my daily activity on the internet helped me
out of this mess.

First I've met byMarianneS, paikesejanku and
XbyLeinaNeima on my daily visit on the Etsy forum
since I've joined the European Street Team.
Marianne's freeform crochet scarf,
paikesejanku's crocheted dress and
Leina's hand-painted evening purse are
only examples of their gorgeous items.
Please visit their stores
to make your own impression :-)

After I've met them, I'm more aware
of the word "Estonia" (or "Estland" in German)
and see many things related to it.
An article in the local newspaper about Tallinn
on a page, which I usually skip over is an example.
A few days ago it happened to me on Flickr.
Flickr shows greetings in different languages
each time I log in, but normally
I didn't really pay much attention to it.
But yesterday Flickr has greeted me
in Estonian: "Tere, glasfaden"!

It's a lot more interesting
to learn new things this way than at school ^_^
Here you can learn more about Estonia.

imagination

As I was at school, I loved to
look at the footprints or dirts on the wall
(pupils were naughty sometimes ;-)).
I could find scenes and faces in there -
I love to imagine a story about them.
This continues up till now.
I've seen faces and landscape and shapes
everywhere I go.

Later on, at the high school, in our art class
we had to make abstract pictures and
tell a story about them.
I've enjoyed looking at my friend's creations,
found many things there and...
helped them describes them *lol*

I also love to browse Flickr from time to time.
I enjoy looking at the photos,
to see new places, where I've never been,
and to meet new people.
I collect some of my favorites.
One of them, which let my imagination grows,
is this texture photo taken by jan4photo.
She has more of those photos in her gallery.
I'm really glad to meet her there.

"And she got it!" - the first brooch in my shop -
based also on imagination.
I put down the story in the description.


And look at this tree,
I've found on my walk this afternoon.
Could this be the tree,
where she got the berry from? ;-)
