And would you believe it, I live just two blocks away from this.
I must have done something so right in a previous life.

People always tell me to stop butterflying around.
I think maybe I shouldn't stop.

Just a little word from the land of neverending boxes... Everybody else has wisely and finally absconded to the countryside and I am left alone with heaps and piles of stuff to be moved, carried, stuck and stashed someplace. Uhhhhh I'm afraid that tomorrow morning at 07 AM the renovation guys will just take a look at my mess, turn away and leave... I would so gladly do just that...
So, as this Midsummer totally escaped and abandoned me, this picture made me ridiculously happy. Wonderful photographer Minna Kulmala, who has taken so many of the LadyBohemia photos, sent it to me with a little word:
"Made me think of you".
Thank you Minna Sweetness, you captured it, as ever ♥.

This Midsummer, I do nothing but pack, pack, pack like a madwoman. Live amongst endless boxes, eat on the floor (kids love it), don't manage to get out at all (nobody loves), see no end in sight. We're not moving, but finally a Grand Renovation is about to start, everything must go into boxes. I didn't even realize it was Midsummer before my mother - a fellow sufferer in my mess - pointed it out.
Uh I'm sooooooo ready for a dip in a lake... The smell of sea... Picnic, outside and not on my floor... Some actual fresh air.
Tomorrow? Please, pretty please.

Mother's speech, not a dry eye in the room.
The only thing of it that I can remember through my tears, is how the name Noora symbolises light in many cultures. Poignant.
Listening to the warmest truest speeches ever, with Babaj.

Beautiful guests, and even a Piano Man. If ever there was a perfect party where everybody felt welcomed, had fun, laughed, cried and created memories, this was it.

PS. And remember to remember me every time you curl that lioness mane of yours ♥.
