Jeg var på vårmarked på en nydelig skole i dag, og jeg fant to råflotte bøker på bruktboksalget. Og det er ikke å overdrive – den største av dem, “mitt hjem og min hage” fra 1963, er en av de mest inspirerende bøkene jeg har sett noen sinne. Den var full av godbiter, og svært aktuell selv i dag. Den hadde alt! Hageløsninger, interiør og tegninger som gav meg høy puls, og når første kapittelet heter “Hagen inne” så visste jeg at dette måtte være gull.

Boka på de tre øverste bildene, “Prydbusker og trær i haven” fra 1957, var liten og søt med flotte tegninger og forklaringer, og kanskje en bok som jeg kommer til å klippe ut litt fra og henge opp. Bortsett fra å shoppe gamle bøker så har jeg malt mer på verkstedet, pluss at jeg har smeltet helt for noen brukte lamper, men jeg har virkelig ikke råd. Så frustrerende – de kommer trolig til å holde meg våken i natt.

 

Translation: I was on a market on a fabulous school today, and I found two extremely nice books! The three first pictures are from a small sweet book with beautiful drawings (from 1957), and I´m probably going to cut some of the pictures out of it and hang them up. The big book is one of the most inspiring books I´ve ever seen, and I can´t get enough of it. It´s better than any new book about gardening I think (it´s from 1963), and the interiors and drawings are amazing. The name of the first chapter is “The garden inside”. I melted… Except from shopping old books I have continued the painting in the music atelier, and I´ve seen some vintage lamps for sale, but I really don´t have afford them. How frustrating, they will probably keep me awake to night.

ABOUT ME

I do and share things by heart. I create personal texts, am a musician, sell original art and prints, make a special home and capture the magic with my camera – everything rather dark hued. Villa Betula is not just skimming the tops.

And by the way - my name is Maren Ingeborg Gråblomst and I’m Norwegian. Gråblomst means grey flower.
