A GIFT

I have the silly little habit of always asking "oooh did you bring me presents?" if the husband has been elsewhere for a day or two. Today as Eddi got home after a work trip I was so concentrated on the take away sushi I he had picked up for me (really that is what kept me not dying from boredom and sickness here today, the thought that I would actually get some suuuushi..) that I totally forgot to give the present thing a go.

And this time he really had a present !


A book with Eric Bruun's designs!

(Yes, those are my sick little sock covered feet)


Eric Bruun is one of the more famous Finnish graphic artists and my favorite one. He was active since the late forties until the nineties and int's interesting to follow one artist's works trough that time span.

ON A WHITE HORSE

I've been rather occupied with on thing, but you will hear more on that later. And now the boys got ill and I managed to catch whatever it was they had, and have been spending most of the day in bed eating youghurt berry ice cream (pretty much the only thing I can get down as my throat is really sore), listening to opera and just now watching The Man Who Cried. Which I have seen before, even mentioned here I think. It is by no means a marvelous movie, but is has some great moments. And it has Johnny Depp as a gypsy prince on a white horse, so basically it wouldn't even need anything else...Oh well, It also features one of my favorite arias and good music in general. But otherwise it's a very sad movie about a very sad time.

(You can watch in on Youtube for example, in ten parts.)

HATS AND HEADBANDS

I have a new winter hat.


One among many, this will be the casual and practical one. But it goes well with a more skirty outfit too. It has something 20-30'ish over it. And a bit of Tirol too, were I to stick a feather in it. The hat is from Eka wear.


And once we're at it with Eka, let's switch head gear and get back to the head band give away from a couple of weeks back! Didn't forget about it; just been busy!


And who will win the headband? The excitement will go on a couple of scrolls still
