red - green and a ferry ride

On the ferry

I am really fond of ferries - I always enjoyed this bit of my trips to Copenhagen most when I lived in Hamburg or remember the many times when I was a kid and my grandmother took me with her on a little trip.
On Tuesday I went on a really small ferry trip to Balmain which is a neighbourhood here. It was 25° and actually quite humid and I think this is why I didn't take so many pictures, despite the fact that it is quiet a pretty area. I think I need to go back on a Saturday when they have their weekly markets there. Anyways, after I came back I realized that the images I took show lots of green and red :)

Have you listened to the new album from Sufjan Stevens, yet? It is so different to his older stuff but so great. We can't stop listening to it and wish he would come down under for a concert.

I also would like to share two links with you.

#1 Two of my very good friends from back home started their own little online - store at which they sell really beautiful, with love-made goodies. Have a look.

#2 I stumbled over the amazing Patchwork Project yesterday. It is a collaborative quilt project where people come together and craft quilts to raise money for a good cause. The three quilts they made are so amazing.

Oh Maria, (Good morning! I am having my morning tea and a few rows of knitting here with you.)

Those colors! So beautiful, make me to wake up finally. And ferries, they have my heart too, those big metal floaters. This has been my favorite ferry ride: http://www.flickr.com/photos/annaemilia/3377968827/in/set-72157607532571070/

Funny part is that even these ferries are not rocking so much in the waves and I don´t get seasick that easily, I feel "land sick" instead anytime I step out from the ferry. When I then go to sleep after the ride, I feel the waves taking over my body for a long time. It is actually pretty nice, to have the sea inside me for a little longer.

Waiting your new ride eagerly.

Warmest weekend thoughts from the first snow sceneries Maria!

Beautiful shoes! I do enjoy a short ferry ride, but get a bit scared when they go too far out in the middle of nowhere.

I will have to check out the new Sufjan stevens as i used to be a big fan!

Moin, habe deinen blog gestern entdeckt, gefällt mir sehr gut und man kann es schlechter treffen als nach Syndney zu gehen. Mich hat es von HH nach Wiesbaden verschlagen und das bringts nun echt nicht. Ich bin schon so lange hier, dass ich nicht mal wusste, dass es Blaubeerfranzbrötchen gibt. Ich musste nämlich mit Entsetzen feststellen, dass es hier GAR KEINE gibt. Machs gut da unten. Tschüß

kombiniert hast!;) xx, Alice

hi Maria - so nice that you visited balmain - i grew up there - we used to jump off all the wharves as kids and swim in the harbour 'til the ferry came in. If you go back - a little tip - the next suburb is called Rozelle - the markets there on a Sunday are much much better than the Saturday Balmain ones - specially for treasures and bits and pieces, vintage clothes etc etc. Balmain markets used to be like that. ciao for now

Viele Gruesse aus dem verregneten Bern,
