The one with the things I liked this week (55)

One of my goals for this week was to make some new brooches. I must have summer on my mind, because I ended up with an icecream cone. Our local 'gelateria' will open again next month and it would be great if the first scoops of icecream will be accompanied by sunrays. My mom got me a beautiful rose as a surprise after work. Talking about work, on my way to work I always see this black and red eyed dude, but I've never taken the time to get of my bike and take a picture of him, until last saturday. As you might know I love sending and receiving old fashioned mail* and this card and gorgeous stamp are from Vatican City. Lots of time this week was spent watching the Olympics. The last photo is actually my Christmas washi tree. Or what's left of it. I've also made some changes to the lay out of this blog. It's not yet what I have in mind (I blame Blogger, but it just might as well be my computer skills), but it's slowly getting there where I want it to go. What have you been up to this week?

  8. I love your little ice cream cone! I too have summer on my mind because we've had such a rough winter. I love the guy with the red eyes too. I do get so jealous of your street art. When Brian and I went to the Lake to photograph the shelf ice (which is melting quickly now) I noticed that our downtown area just added some really cool sculptures. Looking forward to photographing them when the weather gets nicer.

    As always, I love your week posts, they are my favorites!

    1. I'm looking forward to your sculptures! A lot of the graffiti walls have been painted over, and are white now. I hope someone sees that as an invitation to make some new awesome artwork :-)
