HELLO YOU, VOLCANIC ASH CLOUD

I know this is ridiculously odd to say, but I love you so much, volcano ash cloud ! 

My sister and Dario are staying with us for two more weeks. And I think this is fabulously good. 

Readers. I am going to make my blog's first giveaway to celebrate; in few days.

For now  ... good night! xo

Shoaleh and Dario are leaving here in less than a week. Trying hard not to think about it, but it irresistibly is bruising me ... 

Today morning when Dario came to my room to wake me up ( he does it everyday and I think it's the sweetest of things ) I asked him who's Dario? He replied with an adorable smile on his face : Dario is auntie Shokoofeh's life. I can think about these words for a lifetime and  never stop smiling...

DEARLY RECEIVED

There are very sweet people around the world which have made me happy so very much lately... :)

Every "art exchange" package that I received put a huge smile on my face, guys. 

Jane Heller sent me this great black and white photograph.

Lovely couple, Nate and Katie from Hearblack sent all these lovely stuff. They recently opened an Etsy shop. I am a big fan, guys! :-)

Yelena, a great new friend is a young fabulous photographer. We are going to be our each other pen pals. 

And this lovely blossom photograph is sent by one of my favorite photographers, Elle Moss.

And if there is anyone who is still interested in art exchange, contact me over shokoofeh.dezfuli at gmail dot com. 

Have a nice day!

ALL THOSE GREENS

I made this kiwi juice today. Well ... I think we all preferred to eat all those ingredients singly. But it looks good for taking photographs! ;)

What are you up to today, friends?  Any favorite drink recipe? ...

Last night rain drops turned into huge hails! This morning I found lots of leaves in very tiny pieces on the ground. It was sad. But I am still loving this weather condition.
