greengages




Late August by Margaret Atwood encaptures the heavy/sexy/impatient/lustful summer atmosphere. The description of the plums reminds me of the greengages and figs i have been gorging on recently. There is something desperately indulgent about sweet, summer fruits.
 I feel restless in these last few weeks of summer when I know I should relish in it. Its like an itch. An itch for a new beginning. And yet I don't want to let go of this consistent boredom. Some days I write 'to do' lists, which are rarely completed. I wanted to write contributions this summer, and now I only have one week left. At least I have been consistent in not completing my lists.

attempts at pressing flowers

a white trainers collage, a collection of songs and a danish pun. i tried to stain the pages with green tea but it looks dirty. i promise its tea.

  2. your journal is so lovely and interesting, I especially like "des baskets blanches" and the playlist ft. mac! I think the green tea stains reflect the inevitable grime that attaches to white sneakers so I just love the juxtaposition of the two xx

  12. I'll never get over this post. These journal pages are beautiful and everything I wish my journal would be. Also, I FEEEEL you in my soul about the whole summer fruit thing. I'm counting down the days until I can't eat peaches and plums and cherries like I do in the summer.
