My youngest son is practicing handwriting. I remember I loved writing letters until they looked (in my opinion) perfect when I was a child. My husband think that is so geeky. And I still love letters.
Illustrations by Inger and Lasse Sandberg and Stig Lindberg.
I had things to do in town today and as always I plan so I have time to go to second hand stores. My plate collection is growing, today I found this nice one. And this Agaton Sax-book brought back memories. Agaton Sax was also animated cartoon when I was a child.
Cattis brought this wonderful book to work the other day. It is so nice, both because of the illustrations and because it lives a little gallophile in me. My husband and I fantasize about how it will be when the kids have moved out; how we sell the house and move to a little place in Provence. My picture of it is very clichéd but ever since I saw Jean de Florette and lived a year in France, I love it.
I sometimes wonder how you get the taste and style that you have; all the images, children’s programmes etc that you saw as a child, they must be part of how you express yourself as an adult, don´t you think?
I fablernas värld, I loved this programme when I was a child.
I got some books from my dad. Old cartoon books and one with The New Yorker covers and cartoons. I remember I used to look in them a lot when I was a kid and my favorite back then was Peter Arno. Now I like Steinberg.
