Days in the Elf-house
by angeliska on June 30, 2007

Lone Grove Lullaby
by angeliska on June 16, 2007
Summer is here, undeniably flown in on the crests of so many heavenly thunderstorms. Eerie half-light, the air thick and moist- my hair hangs lank and heavy down my spine and late nights reign again: drinking black tea and listening (…)

Juli in Luilekkerland
by angeliska on July 16, 2006
Another amazing gigantor bug on my house, with wee baby hitchhiker to boot! She was about as long as my palm, I’d reckon. Sweet Amelia hiding behind frog bones. We had such a lovely, perfect day last week- visiting the (…)
There's no place like..
by angeliska on June 24, 2006
Home sweet home! The after-dinner-mint green asbestos siding will eventually come off to reveal lovely wood siding, which it has been graciously preserving all these years.. Oh, soon our shady stoop will tangle with twining vines snaking over all! Over (…)
REPUBLIKA DOMESTIKA
by angeliska on May 27, 2006
It is all coming together in myriad ways I never imagined.. Now the real work begins- backbreaking at times, but it feels amazing to be working on a home I can truly call my own, our own! It is terrifying (…)
