kristina klarin: May 2008

I will be on holiday next week (can't wait to see the sea and share the colours with you!),

...wish you wonderful weekend...

p.s.river boat which remind me Howl's Moving Castle

in the mail this morning: matchbox labels from Czechoslovakia! (via e-bay)

Sunday flea market finds:

Color slides,I don't know exactly why do I bought them,I guess it's because of summer colors

taking care

of oregano,marjoram and thyme.I need to buy lavender and rosemary and my balcony will hopefully have Provence smell this summer...

Wish you all great weekend...

I'm loving these patterns made by seven young women behind Danish brand Nümph

and this one from Comptoir des Cotonniers

It's been raining for days and ten-day weather forecast seems like a bad joke.Luckily ,I found these wonderful Polish posters to brighten up my Monday.

I just discover young broad beans and I'm eating this salad almost every day (Vicia faba addiction?)
4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. tahini
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
juice of 1 lemon
Mix the dressing with
some podded young broad beans (fresh or cooked for around 3 minutes)
rocket salad
1 or 2 fresh zucchini (cuted with a peeler)
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, salt and pepper

Have a nice weekend !
