My backyard at the moment. Thought I’d let you see! I wanted to create this peaceful, romantic haven under the blooming apple trees in the backyard where I could dawdle on with my own business in blissfull ignorance of the world (no-one in our house can be bothered to enter the backyard). You see the book? It’s leatherbound with blank pages, which I intend to fill with written treasures I find as my life goes on. When it’s old and I am too, I shall pass it on to my children as a keepsake. Or bury it under a tree as Phuc so vigorously suggested. I have to admit, it’s a very romantic idea!
I originally wanted a handmade, ancient-looking, leatherbound journal, like the ones I found on etsy:
But Bao talked me out of it due to the not very wallet-friendly prices… I’ll have to get my hands on one of those handmade ones someday; someday when I’m not in the middle of my own financial crisis!
Or perhaps I will make my own.

NICE! i love your quill and the ink! So pretty! i was actually looking for ours, but cales has thrown it away! TT.TT But yours is just so , elegant and romantic….x3
It is, isn’t it! Found them (I’ve got two – white feather for the gold ink and black feather for blue/black ink) in the Shakespeare gift shops! Heeheh! The white one I found in The Globe, London. It’s surprisingly easy to write with a quill.. HEY LUTT, what are you doing right now?
i would actually LOVE to have one of those leatherbound notebooks….!
and your backyard looks beautiful. so artsy, and you can probably get alot of inspiration from it!
Yeah, I could spend eternity there.. n_n
Takk Kiyu, nå har jeg også lyst på en sånn håndlaga bok. Og tru meg, er ikke bra for min økonomi heller ! :P
How romantic, indeed! Your secret garden seems a true testament to tranquility and peacefulness–how serene! It must be a fantastic place to relax and de-clutter a cluttered mind after a stressful day, I’m sure.
Well–my room is far from you placid haven, that’s for sure! Damn, I really should tidy it up–but I’m all too lazy these days, with summer break nearing … just Nineteen Days Left! :D
Regarding the loss of your tablet pen: have your brother look for it with you–he owes it to you, don’t you think? Hope you recover it soon, anyway!
Secret garden! Was that an intended pun? :D Mhm. I love that little nook of mine, I feel… serene and whole somehow, like I could grow brilliantly white wings out of my back any moment! it feels like I was meant to be there! As if my life was complete! It’s just such a satisfying feeling, you know n_n Tsk tsk! You should tidy it up! Summer and lots of light makes for exceptionally good working environment, which again means you should be happier cleaning now than in the winter! (and therefore shoudl do it xD)
Yes, he found it! Now I don’t have to buy a new one which I totally cannot afford! xD
Oh! Glad to hear you got your tablet pen back! :3
Your deduction seems solid, and, yeah, I really ought to clean out my room … but I’m such a procrastinator, though, and I guess I am quite messy–my desk, at least, is not a pretty sight: pencils and an incredible amount of pen strewn everywhere; sheets of paper, sketches and other various notes lying in heaps, some crumpled on the floor. Argh, I need to get organized! Also, I have the habit of laying a sizeable amount of clothes on my bed when deciding what to wear. In the morning, I won’t have the largest chunk of time to spare, so I’ll often leave them there–resulting in me stuffing heaps of unfolded clothes back into their respective drawers before I can actually lie in my bed! Ah, well–maybe this summer will be the summer I get organized!
You sure you’re not actually a clone of me? Some crazy scientist probably could have sneaked away with my DNA without me noticing. He’d just have to yank my hair or steal my napkin or something. But you know what they say – creative people are not known for being tidy.
