snow!

kids were sledding down the little hill behind the house today and
we did bake baguettes.

a picknick box for eggs. I think it could be a spacy handbag too.
What could you carry in it??

I like friedamaria found at Irenes blog.

delightful

a seed vessel and a topaz I just bought.

picks

picking pics.

There is a list of books I want to buy or even think I need to buy.
The list is getting longer and longer. Some of them:

Sara Fanelli: Pinocchio
Wolf Kahn's America ( the cover is hypnotic for me )
Marie des Brebis: Der reiche Klang des einfachen Lebens

The last title means translated "The rich sound of the simple life"
It's about a French woman, a shepherd. Right before she dies she tells
the story of her life to a writer, Christian Signol, and he wrote this
biography.

At the moment I'm reading this again.

Which book are you going to buy next?

I want to live nearby the sea

teether

Found this on the dissolving of a household. It's a plastic teether.
The inscription says: "Babydent". Love the colour mix!

I have a weakness for niche topics and flickr is a rich source therefor.
Two fancy flickr groups are: Let's Kiosk and Sofa Free

tin/socks/PIF

below: a pair of Agnes' socks, inside out

So, I joined "PIF-pay it forward", the fabulous thing, that has been
started by Heather Smith Jones.

Here the rules:
I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment
on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don't know what
that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week,
but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only
thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same
promise on your blog.

What a nice idea, Heather, so many surprise parcels all over the world.
(I was lucky enough to be one of the first 3 on smosch's blog :)

P.S.: Heather told me in her comment, that she wasn't actually the
initiator of PIF, but joined as well. So, thanks dear Heather for clearing
and thanks to you unknown for starting PIF :)

found on street

A collection of things picked up while walking.
That's what I contribute to blog action day.

Polas

Inspired by smosch I took some shots with my polaroid camera again.
The pics have got a bit a mysterious touch - I like it.

aerated concrete, iron and Jacques Tati

Holiday find: a piece of aerated concrete. Abraded by the Sea it looks
like a porous pebble.
Below: iron girder

There was a theme night at the French/German TV station "arte" last
night about the unique actor and director Jacques Tati. Tomorrow,
October 9, would have been his 100. birthday.
I did love his films before, but now I think he was a real genius.
Saw a docu, that showed his working method, how he rehearsed
courses of movement with his actors until everything followed a
perfect choreography. Admirable his subtle handling of details and
hilarious sense of humour. Brilliant artist!
Look here for more infos ( in German or French, but many pictures
as well ).
   

gifts and a find

We got from our neighbours this blow-up lemonade bottle and from
another neighbour the cute mini-boat. We really have nice neighbours!

And that carton I saved from recovered paper collection in our neigh-
bourhood (of course). It's from a furrier, a "royal purveyor to the court".
Must have been a poor old fox or something like that in it.
