It's snowing inside me but it would be wonderful if it snowed outside too!
This winter we only saw about half an hour of snowfall, and I dearly miss watching snowflakes glisten in the halo of streetlights and seeing kids sleighing down the slope near to our flat.
One of my first memories is standing in the garden of the nursery school and watching the snow fall on my coat, then looking closely and realising that it was made up of tiny, symmetric starshaped crystals...
Then when I was in primary school, one year the first snow fell on my birthday and my father said he organised it for me. I was so happy!
I also remember walking the streets of Budapest with my first boyfriend and realising that heavy snowflakes cast little shadows on the ground - you can see the snowflake and its shadow nearing towards each other as they fall.
At least in my memories I can always see the snow!

This looks so cool! Love the snowflakes, and that color looks beautiful with your hair color.
Thank you, I think I might be overdoing turquoise-like shades... I can't help it!
Thank you! I can't seem to get enough turquoise, I just realised my header was a similar colour too. :) I guess light blue goes well with the atmsphere of January...
you are so clever! I love it
I haven't seen a lick of snow yet, either. It isn't even cold enough right now. ): One time I made it snow inside in July, but that involved the innards of a beanbag chair and five children under the age of six, haha. Also, good job looking all demure and gorgeous by the window, miss. (:
LOL, I can imagine that type of snow!
By the window is the only place there's sort of enough light... It's way too cold outside to take pictures without two sweaters and a coat! :)
We haven't had snow here this year yet. It often starts in January, so I'm waiting. I love your illustrated photos!
I love your top, and the snow flake effect is really lovely. We haven't gotten much snow here yet, but there is still time! I love the way it makes the whole world seem so much quieter and muffled.
Thank you Kira! I keep waiting and hoping too. :)
Exactly! It's really so much calmer then... I love snowy evenings!
Thank you!
what a beautiful post! i love your memories. the one of your dad on your birthday is so sweet! living in minnesota, it's not often that we miss the snow, but this year, we have only have a few scant snowfalls...it is a beautiful sight to see when it first falls!
aw, what lovely memories! thank you for sharing them :) and you look beautiful as always. i love you in green!
sorry you haven't gotten a magical snow fall just yet this year, there has been a surprising lack of snow here as well.
Love that green blouse - gorgeous color!
I wonder why snow is keeping away this year!
Thank you for your lovely comment! :)
Thanks Lora, I'm in green-blue overload... :D
Let's hope the snow will still arrive this winter! :)

Thank you Ipek, sorry for not posting the tag yet!
Haha, it's great you can make kids happy with saying things like that! :) I'm quite sure I didn't believe it but it felt nice to imagine it being true. :)
Oh friend, I love that story of your dad. It is so sweet and the way you do these illustrations always blows me away. This one is no exception, so so pretty.
These are such sweet pictures :)
Thank you! :)
