Summer

Summer was here this weekend. It was really warm (32°C) and I took the camera with me on Saturday while being out.

Here are a few shots...

#1 I love bread with cucumber, it is something I somehow connect to Summer.

#2 Summer light

#3 I like this shape

#4 It is the second strawberry season for me this year

#5 black and white

#6 It is so nice to wear sandals again

#7 :)

#8 A coffee on a Saturday afternoon.

Patterns

It was the first Saturday in the month and I tried my luck (again) and went to the Surry Hills flea market. Well, I guess the rain in the morning was the reason why not so many people/stalls showed up and there was not so much to browse around or look at, which was a shame.

#1 mirror window

#2 a pretty scarf at the flea market

#3 patterns on the wall

#4 heart

#5 'why do birds suddenly appear?'

#6 A really nice store on Liverpool street, unfortunately not so cheap to make a bargain, but

#7 there opened a store right next to it (forgot the name) and I got this really nice plum jar there.

Sometimes

.....

in the city

#1 The other day I got myself a sun hat and today was the first day I was wearing it outside

#2 I walked through the Botanic Gardens, It is still crazy for me to imagine that this is just 10 minutes away from where I live - so extoic

#3 On a boat again, I love the sound of the waves

#4 and also this mustard colour

#5 rusty

#6 A beautiful flower in the Botanic Gardens again, on my way back

What are your plans for today?

Random

Yesterday on my walk into the city I saw this cat sitting on the street, getting her back warmed by the sun. Later when I was waiting for the train, I realized this stripe of brightness across of me and thought that somehow those two images fit together...

Anyways, I wanted to show you a few of the things I made the last couple of weeks. Most of them are gifts for friends.

#1 a passport bag for a friend who is going to travel soon

#2 a really small clutch bag :)

#3 a bag for friend with a huge cd collection, you put the cd case in the bag while you are playing the cd

#4 because I like triangles ;)

Well and I also wanted to share the small pile of books and magazines I collected recently. The Brooklyn diary came yesterday, and it is such a beautiful book, full of amazing pictures and inspirations. It made me wish to go to Brooklyn right away. I am sure I will go through it many, many times.

Hope you are all well,

Hooray!

So many comments on my giveaway post. Wow, thanks to everyone who entered and for your sweet comments. I wish I could draw more than one winner...

Well, I just sat down and wrote a jar full of little papers with all your names on them and draw the winner. Congratulations to Tiffany. Please email me (schorlemaedchen@gmail.com) your address and I will send the little giveaway on its journey to Paris.

Four

On my last weekend in Hamburg I got a polaroid film from this lady. Well, on Wednesday I took the polaroid camera with me and shot these four pictures. They turned out so well and I was quite happy as my last film (yes, it was expired) showed spots all over the images. Thank you so much again Frau Sieben : )

#1 some more stripes

#2 and again beautiful tiles

#3 the café next to the pool I go swimming. I really like their orange chairs

#4 I would love to go the opera house and see a nice concert. Hopefully I find something nice soon.

I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

Don't forget about my little blog anniversary give away.
