small things that made my summer days….

this tree and many many others ....especially the sound that made working there a treat for the past 3 years. (yes, I do miss every single one of them)

this tree and many many others ….especially the sound of their leaves. they made working there a treat for the past 3 years (yes, I do miss every single one of them)

balcony grown tomatoes ….for being so colorful and so good

two little sardines ....for being offered to us from nice strangers while we walked by their improvised parking lot barbecue

two little sardines ….and a pork sandwich offered to us from complete strangers as we walked by their improvised parking lot barbecue

this cup ....and the lovely floral print. plus the cidre inside - of course !

this cup with a floral print ….or the Cidre that came with it. all part of a perfect farewell lunch

this southern light (and temperature) in our not so southern city ….and the party left overs from a certain little girl’s birthday

small things that made my days….

these roses on my working desk ….once planted they became wild again and make me smile every last day of this residency

this very early sunlight ….and the shadow of my tomato plants

this box/table ….an unexpected visitor brought unexpected cake what ended in a sweet little working break

this extra linen ….for hide and seek. the game we played all day long

ice cream with two spoons ….we shared a ginger limes sorbet on the stairs just outside the studio in the late afternoon sun

this small old wooden ball …we found it last week at the thrift shop and since then it seems to be just about everywhere in our appartement. magically.
