from the girl of beauty

i got a package last week, from Y. every Ö in it's right place.
there was a chain of happenings: i've been making translations for M & K 's shop common. i told M i have this blog, she told told me about their friend's blog, and from a link from noninoko i came across Y's new book. we haven't been in touch for a while, but i found out that she finally(?) has her own home-page. i wrote to her and very soon i found beautiful package full of beauty in my mail box. she is one of the sweetest and gentlest creatures on this earth. and she's strong. and talented. i know her through another favorite person, C. they came to finland together. i visited her home in 2004. there, i had a dream about a little girl who was my daughter, and we had the most wonderful time together. she had the same mouth as Y's sister, so i knew in the dream she was Y's daughter as well. i wrote to Y that we should have a child, and i always expected to have a girl (V doesn't have that mouth though). while i was away, Y also got a phone call about Manteli, and we made a long-distance decision to buy the house too. somehow i feel like Yuko is involved in these big matters. i miss those days at her place. bicycling. soft and calm. only nice things around.

one favorite spread. they are cut-paper illustrations.
