Happy birthday

 תמילה, מזל טוב! - פוסט לכבודך



My very special friend is celebrating today her birthday. 

Five years ago, she gifted this blog to me as a birthday present. "I think you should have a blog", she said, opening a door for me to share my sketches on a simple platform.


I cannot sketch the meaning of a good friendship. How wonderful it is to have an empathic friend from my homeland, to be able to talk, share stories and to laugh in our language as well as understanding each other intuitively.

I can, however, sketch Shoko



 


and I love sketching their flat. They live close to the city center, but are lucky enough to have a small garden in the front



and even a small backyard, which is the place to be on a hot summer's day. 


She and her husband share a passion for flea markets and they create compositions in every corner and every wall. Each spot in the flat has a story behind it.


 

 


 


But those always change! The big table, for instance, started its career in the garden, moved from there to the kitchen and has finally found its place in the living room. Who knows how long it will stay there. The old armchair has also found in the meantime a new place, I was told on the phone.

Speaking of the kitchen! It is also full of wonders. Unfortunately I have only one sketch and it doesn't show much.



To be continued after the lockdown ... when I can finally hug my friend again!
