surroundings

It's going to be a bank holiday weekend at home, the weather doesn't look promising. 
I'm looking at the clouds and they are like animal silhouettes chasing each other.
I have few diy projects to finish anyway. A little bookcase (the only one possible here) 
is white now, no matter what, I end up painting all the stuff I don't really like in white, 
and it works: it's kind of blending with the white walls.
I put up the "new" old semi pendant that I wanted for ages, 
(found on ebay Denmark) it has few scratches but I don't mind,
 it was a good deal.

I'm enjoying 'Backyard wildflowers' by Jaime Rugh

Have a relaxed weekend.

The white works. And I agree with Maria, lovely light. I have one of Jaime's weavings. She is multitalented.

Officially jealous that you ALSO have one of Cocon's seagulls. ;)

Solvi LOVED her mouse stuff (though I think the older relatives at the party were just as smitten, particularly with the gray cashmere blanket). She has been playing with them all day.

Thank you all!
Patrice, in my opinion is a wall paper that works in places where the light is poor or mostly grey, it has helped me to go through a very long winter. I'm usually not fan of bold, loud stuff but I guess I can live a little more with it...;)

Justine, oh thank you! so pleased to hear Solvi enjoyed it, that is the most rewarding thing for me about those kits: that children and grown ups alike really appreciate them! x

Thank you Delphine, Katta and Louise, indeed it was sunny in the end (the meteo often get it wrong) so I spent a lot of time in the garden.
