Yesterday I was invited to an event where ballerinas soared sky high, fashion models strutted their stuff - and gorgeous clothes - and songbird Heli Kajo belted her heart out. I actually had the opportunity to meet Heli in person... Wow. After all those months of summer in France, when her songs filled my car where ever I went, that was A MOMENT for me. Me, I was nervous, she even nicer, funnier, sweeter, cooler and so much more elegant than I could have  imagined. And after, she sang straight to my heart. Tomorrow, I'll tell you about the ballerinas who danced their way to the core of my being... But as of today, the little heart is full. ~*♥*~

During our French summer we once visited a Michelin star restaurant - a first one for me. Although the restaurant was absolutely beautiful and everything we ate and drank  couldn't have been yummyer... I still must say that most of all I enjoyed the wild flower garden surrounding the 18th century building. Breathtaking. And to my heart's content, the memory of this place is one of charm. Instead of tasteless soulless luxury.   I love this photo by Albert Mäkelä. It nails my little private experience  to the point, with such poignant perfection. ~*♥*~

I don't want to ruin the magic of this Minna Kulmala photoshoot with mere words... A few more pictures, however, you can find at Portrait of a Woman ♥. ~*♥*~

My yesterday started out with most serious intentions. And then turned all bubbly. Between a doctor's appointment and not only one, but two gym classes reserved, I had a free moment to sit down in the sun and read a little Hemingway (seriously - sophisticating the mind and working the butt was the plan). When past strutted the lovely Sissi with Heidi InWonderland, and hijacked me along. Mmmmmm it turned out to be one of those joyous carefree warm summerdays (nights) when everything is possible... Even taking off for Tallinn, for another lovely fashion show, this Friday... Before the night was over, invitations were arranged, our trip & hotel rooms booked. Luckily, we stopped short at reserving the helicopter... Which for a moment seemed like an intelligent financial move. Until we noticed that the price quoted was per person... Hmpf. But in this company, even rowing our way to Tallinn would guarantee a most memorable experience ♥. ~*♥*~

A cabaree frequented by singers, poets and artists since 1860 is on the list "1000 Places to See Before You Die". Mmmmmm.... Still authentic, poetic, so true to it's heritage. An evening of magic. ~**~
