a trip

I visited St. Gallen yesterday. It was my first time, but I will
go back to discover more. I only had the time to visit the textile
museum (some of the antique embroideries are to die for!!) and
to stroll through the city a little bit (next time I will surely go
into this gallery to take a closer look at the lovely paintings).



Wishing you a lovely weekend :)

wreath

I trimmed two of my six lavender bushes last Sunday (I do
it in stages so that the bees and other insects could still enjoy
them too). I decided not just to hang them over to let them
dry but made a wreath. Never made one before, so I'm pretty
pleased with the not-so-perfect result. Learned one thing
while making this: next time I'll use an environment friendlier
material for binding (because of the wire I'll have to unbind
this wreath before I can throw it away one day - not so clever,
hm..?).

Hope, you are all well.

yumm...

I made a hot spicy curry with courgette, potato, tomatoes,
red onion, red chili, garlic, lemon juice, shrimps, salt,
pepper, cumin and a little bit honey. But the curry wouldn't
be complete without the fresh basil - it's not only to garnish!

lost and found

I once heard a nice song while I was in a second-hand shop.
I asked the seller to write down the name of the singer for
me and she did. At home I forgot about it. In fact, I forgot
about it for about a year. A few days ago that piece of paper
suddenly came up again from somewhere...



I love her voice.

more links

Here are some links to dig, if you like to:

- My dad shared this stunning paper artwork with me today.

- If you love postcards like I do, you gonna love this.

- I just finished reading a book. Not kind of book I'd usually
pick up to read, but it intrigued me. It is a mix between
biography and idea, which is quite interesting. There is an
interview on YouTube in English, which represents the
essence of the book. The biography part is in the first two
videos and his view (or idea or however you'd call it) in the
last three videos.

- Reading that book took me further to (you might have heard
about these before, but as a non-newspaper-reader and a non-
TVnews-watcher in general these are new to me) this and this
sites. Those on the other hand remind me of the link I found
on the Etsy blog lately.

I'm wishing you a happy dig and a happy weekend ;)
