INVITATION

*little princess sparkle*

I have a few photos, that didn't want to load correctly , in spite of that I did rotate them.... So... sorry about that

I realized that I'm stopping and looking at children's books a lot when I go into a book store. It's interesting that I have more appetite for them now, than I had when I was little. I wonder why?... The main thing that I'm interested in is the illustrations. (The story is also important, well actually it's the most important, but you can not read a whole book in the store, and sometimes I don't have time to read anything in particular about the book; sometimes you remain with a picture in your mind, with the cover of a book, or just some illustrations that you "sketched up" when you opened a book and you paged through it.)
So here are some cute things that caught my eye:                                                                                                                                

This is a special edition of The Little Prince that appeared at RAO. You'll find the story, with the original illustrations, and if I remember it well, there is a part about the author, I hope is something about how the whole thing started or some "behind the scene" stuff. I'm really curious, so I think I will buy it.

Sometimes is interesting to see how the characters looked before Disney. Don't get me wrong, I like Disney, but I also like to see from where the whole thing started, from where did everything evolve, and here we can enjoy another book with the authentic drawings of the writer.
Winnie the Pooh from Arthur.

I saw Miss Potter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMDMD7q101I), but never got the opportunity to actually read a Peter Bunny tale. I hope one day I will get there, until then I'll just say that the illustrations are very cute.

Vellant has a lot of beautiful and well designed books.
Now this is a cute and funny one, that has collage type of illustrations which I enjoyed.

This one is interesting. Beside the beautiful illustrations done by young romanian illustrator, Madalina Andronic, we have stories and recipes also.






That's all for today ... I think.
Good night

Circus

Finally I have a little time.... Don't get me wrong, I don't mind having a busy schedule, meeting with my friends, going to visit my parents,... going swimming,... party, etc. ... :) :P but I really wanted to post some photos from the circus, from the seaside.
It reminded me of :
1. "De ce fierbe copilul in mamaliga" ( Aglaja Veteranyi - "Warum das Kind in der Polenta kocht" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X1oCyaHL88 )
2. "Water for Elephants" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6b2XhXkPpg )
3. DUMBO

raspberry flavored inspiration

In the weekend we went to swim with some friends, and after that we went to a park where we slid down on a 5-7 m high chute. We had a lot of fun. Saturday we were invited to a "pique-nique" , we stayed in the park the whole day, we even saw a dog competition :) After that we went jogging. Sunday I went to visit some friends in there new apartment, then took a walk in the park with my dear (and I made some raspberry juice that I was proud of)

  

While I was thinking/writing about the juice, I remembered that I have some craft paper that has raspberry color so.... I actually stopped writing and I made some cards. Here are some photos:

                             Have a delicious day!




 

Today was one of those days (you know when nothing works, and it's like the whole Universe is unable to cooperate with you)... I tried to draw today but nothing good came out of it; now I'm actually making for the third time today pancakes, and those cute brown spots just refuse to appear.

Apele tac (Silent river)

This is a very good short film. I saw it a few years ago, then for a while I couldn't find it anywhere, it was deleted or banned or just simply you couldn't have access to it, but now I see that it was uploaded again. So here it is :  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-TSN89Qu5o

Summing up the last (enchanted) week

Last week we had the chance to listen to Sting live ( here are a few moments from the concert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXmJSiF-pBc ). I would like to thank again for this gift, I had lots of  fun ( I even enjoyed the pouring rain after the concert).
This was yesterday :

I haven't seen such Monopoly until yesterday, and I was like WAOOOOW   :)  :P  :D & it came with two magical friends on a magic carpet ride.

And the bonus of the week was that I could talk to a dear friend of mine, with whom I had a lot of sketching up to do.

Hope you'll have a sparkling week!
