Good evening!
Once in America
a friend was generous to give me
a "Fashionshoot" of myself.
They painted my face,
made my hair
and lent me clothes to wear.
People said WOW
as they saw the picture.
People said I should
paint my face like that.
Do my hair like that.
Dress like that.
But the person on that
"lovely" picture
was not me.
Just my face lent to others.
The Olga you see above
is me.
The best of me.
When I like myself.

Frida, an art-interrested
and very gifted young lady
took the picture
above (and below)
after I had taken
some of her
here in my kitchen.
And believe me -
I am NOT easy to fech
looking "sane" ;-)
It is my wish to,
like Frida
be able to capture pictures
of people in this spirit.
The facric behind is bought
for photography-purpose.
It´s been twentythree years
since I was twentyone.
One of my dear friends
at that time,
where I was in Spain,
was Jacqui from New Zealand.
Today I got a mail from her!
Reconecting with old friends
is like travelling in a timemachine.
On the picture above
you may with help of a facelift
see what I looked like then (!)

You are absolutely gorgeous!! -- no face lift required.
My son is doing very well -- thank you for caring Olga:)

Olga you are perfectly beautiful and 1965 is a perfect year to be born (just ask me about it ;D), if I did my maths right...now 21+23= ! Roberta
This photo is so different (from what I've seen from you up to now :)) And so beautiful!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the colours you wear(about 10 years of my life I've only worn blue/green/petrol and now I often come back to it!)
Two years ago I reconnected with a bunch of old friends and as you say: it's been like a time machine on first hand....and after meeting them it was like we never missed time in between!
Is the tiny little witch responsable for your facelift??
Which new fabric??
Brown? black?
Frida?????
Lots of sunny hugs!!!
Titta så vacker du blev med rätt färgval. Speciellt det sista porträttet tycker jag mycket om.
Oh my gosh, Olga! You ARE a painting! The colour of your eyes is amazing! And your son looks like a little gypsy. :)
Susan; Thanks and I am GLAD for your son!
Roberta; Japp, du räknade alldeles rätt!
Uschi; HI ;-)
Cosifan; Jo... färger ÄR viktiga!
Susanna; Allways a joy having you here!
I have come to play and I love your house - your blog is delicious and I am so happy to be here...
no need to pick up - not one bit - let's make a creative mess together...
xox - eb.
Elisabeth HI!!!
Yes, lets make a creative mess in here. You´re in charge. Lets play!
(Under the big table in the heart of the house are "a hundred drawers" of usable things we may need.) Well you just look around and feel at home!
