There was also the best tree swing ever there which succesfully made Kimya Dawson's "tyre swing" play constantly in my head all week. Not that I minded, it's a great song! Since I've came home the weather has been crazily brilliant so I'm spending so much of my time studying outside and appreciating every second of it.
(Mothers old Dr. Martins, Top and Belt also used to be my mothers and tartan trousers are from Topshop)
I also seriously want to live in this house. I read about it in Lula magazine I just adore it. It's an old farmhouse out in the Canadian countryside and it was tranformed into a chraming life-sized dollhouse by artist Heather Benning.
Amazingly enough, Heather did 90% of the entire job herself and only received help from a friend for the really tricky bits. To me, it's such a mesmirising idea to have such a picturesque little house on such desolate plains. Heather said in the interview that she infact began to imagine the family that would live there and concluded that they had two children before going on to explain the details of their lifestyle. It's really beautiful when somebody is so passionate about what they are doing that they become so involved and I can imagine it would be somewhat sad when she finished the project, like when you enjoy a book so much that you wish it to continue. However, all those working hours have certainly been worthwhile and her efforts have led to an unique piece of artwork for others to enjoy visiting and get lost in the fairytale pastel-walled rooms, creating stories of there own.
Take Care.
