Last week I spent a very nice day in my old home town Turku, it was so fun to meet friends and former colleagues! And I finally made it to Joutomaa, my friend Reettas little shop! She is a mixed media/collage artist and offers a lovely collection of cards and prints. This cute, adventurous fox is one of my favourites! I have borrowed the picture from her Etsy shop.
This very special lamp made by Reetta is a fantastic eye catcher in the shop!
I loved to walk in my old quarters at the univeristy. The colours and shapes of the old buildings are so inspiring! That grey door is perfect!
This rusty rose recorates a fence next to the recently renovated library, very pretty!
Now you have to excuse me, because I think the battery for my brand new Canon EOS is fully charged so I need to go and play! Look forward to some stunning pictures in my coming posts ;)
Looks like you had a lovely trip. My dad is from Turku too! What a small world.

Sometimes I miss Turku too... love the old buildings and colors, the big old trees and the parks, the river and so on. I think I gotta go visit my friend soon... :)
Ihana tuo Joutomaan pallotapetti!!! Ja Reetan kortit ihastuttavat aina!

That dapper little sailing fox is the most charming little fellow ever!
Glad to hear you had a good trip!
