Top – Bottom Left – Right
1. L: My beautiful Mom
2. Lost: My current obsession
3. Looking Glass: I wish the whole thing fit in the frame, it’s a handcarved antique
4. Lollipop: Nothing makes me feel young again like a Disneyland-style lollipop
5. Lions: Out of Africa is one of my favourite films – the image of the lions resting on Denys Finch-Hatton’s grave is one that is still with me
6. La Luna: Isn’t it stunning?
7. L: My vivacious Aunt
8. Letters: I love getting real mail, or finding old letters in the leaves of dusty books
9. Library: One of my favourite places to visit ever since I was 7 and sick in bed and my Mom brought me a stack of Bobbsey Twin books from the local library – magical places
10. Lemons: Mmmm…from wedges in my water to Lemon Meringue Pie, I love lemons. If it’s a flavour option the only thing it loses to is chocolate.
11. Listen: Love listening to music while walking, or right before sleep. Lately I am really into audiobooks – they let me multitask. 🙂
12. Lynch, David: Freaking Genius. So intriguing.
13. Lyre: love their balanced shape – have no idea how they sound but have always been drawn to them?
14. Lilacs: Some of my favourite flowers – they are so fragrant. They remind me of simpler times. And the garden is just about to explode with new growth when they are in bloom. Harbingers.
15. Literature: Classics are the genre I prefer to read. My, my, how precious I sound.
16. Limes: Citrus yes, but quite different from lemons. They make me want a crisp G&T from the freezer. I like 2-3 thin slices of lime soaking in my gin since the night before. Yum.
17. Lists: I like to write them. I like crossing things off – gives me a nice sense of accomplishment. Generally lose them and have to write another.
18. L: Cousin In Law — is that a real term?
19. Languages: Utterly fascinating – if I could study languages full time well…what would I do with them?
20. Leia, Princess: I was 4 and I knew who she was. I was going to be her when I grew up. I even had a stuffed pup named Leia whose floppy brown ears were rolled up and held with pins so she looked the part. Once my Mom did my hair like this for me in Gr.1. I totally loved it. But as I got closer to school I chickened out and took it down. Princess Leia didn’t even back down from the Interrogation Droid. Sigh.
If you like G&T, you should try a Gin Rickey. 1 oz. gin, juice of one lime and top with soda water. Clean, crisp and perfect (for summertime, especially)!
Just a few more hours!!!
Yummmm, I love all things lemon too! You are so creative with your collages. Hope you are doing great!!
Library, listen, literature – love, love, love!
Hey Girl,
I’ve given you a wee award over on my blog. Pass it on!
A beautiful collection. I love that it starts with your mum and ends with your childhood dream… Everything else just slots into place.
Me again! 🙂 Please email me – I need your postal address…
How do you do that montage of photos? It’s so cool!
