wanderings
getting a few of my favorite things ready for my trip ~ a very special and wildly expired box of time zero film for my sx70 polaroid camera, my holga and some most fabulous film for that (fuji reala 120) a book, some pustifix bubbles because you just never know, and my alkaline booster water drops …and sunglasses so i don’t squint
this weekend
I swept floors
washed windows
hung sheets out to dry in the sunshine
(smelling like the sea)
made avocodo green smoothies
and lemon squares
along the way (sunshine alley)
I found a yard sale
tablecloths with roses, silver spoons and eggcups
lace napkins ironed just so
two green depression glass containers
with delicate tin lids
perfect for my earrings
and also
a Christmas elf made of china, chipped,
which I brought home for 25 cents
and there was pie
at the farmers market
(raspberry rhubarb)
which I scooped up
wearing a vintage skirt
on sunday of course
i have new freckles
and sunkissed skin
and a summer smile
wider than the widest sea
the other day
i left a gift on my best friends porch
windchimes made from recycled glass
I pulled the chair under the beam
and stood on tiptoe to hang them up
the sun spinning on the crystals
(this made her so very happy but
not as happy as me)
and now
i am packing
my wild open heart
into a satchel
with film and cameras and
paper umbrellas
(just in case we have drinks on the porch)
looking forward to roadtrips
waterfalls and campfires
collecting seed pods and feathers
reading books by the lake,
good mornings and ignoring clocks
which is always most important
oh
and I found such a pretty cabin on flickr ~ and asked most kindly the universe to gift one to me:) ~ and this post is positively beautiful and exactly ‘so’
well..I am wishing you kisses under waterfalls, magic off the beaten path and fresh homemade pie with your morning cofee ~ until next we meet!

Nice packing.
and my mother-in-law says that everytime we find a feather, it means we are on the right path.
Hope you find lots of beautiful feathers.
And I’m off to enjoy some of my own homeade peach pie with breakfast.
Best wanderings!
