city day

look, it's another set of random photos. maybe not so random, 2 themes: notebook pages and 3 steps of the brown cardigan.

right now i'm here to brag about our fantastic city day. (before i was very definite about calling Helsinki a "town" - now it is the opposite, my big city.)
-first of all we left quite late, but i stayed calm.
-i picked up my 4 kg of indian sugar straight from Bolivia and 1 kg of rose salt.
-we had a nice lunch at Kiasma (actually the lunch was bad but we had nice time)
-visited Salakauppa and A was there - i'm so happy for them, they have created themselves a wonderful spot in the world of design, making the world better i think. and i have a wish list in their shop...
-picked up keys to here. they had beautiful window decoration, i will be looking at it all of next week. i will try to drag the camera there one day...
-meeting with F and the girls, always nice. looking out of their window, for a second i thought i'm going back home to old home, it feels like my body remembers the route.
-then we went to see "the christmas street" and "the christmas window". oh traditions. V was very impressed by the lights. she had this look on her face, like "can this be true". that's where we also met up with Y.
-then saw the exhibition of Anne Koskinen. her work is very impressive. V seemed to think so too.
-saw the calendar designed by Y, it was very nice, very pretty. my month has Helene Schjerfbeck's red-haired woman!
-knitting with the organic yarn on the way back - that yarn makes me want to have a baby.

that's it. i was traveling today with a very big girl. and also a grown-up woman. now it's teatime.
