Since I am quite excited about this new event, I'll hopefully write up a quick blurb about it after and share all the juicy details...but for now, we will stick to today's silly turn of events.
Without air conditioning, Mom and I have been escaping to anywhere that will allow us to linger. Today the lucky winner was the American Swedish Institute. Planting ourselves in their new cafe, Fika, I knew the ASI would be a perfect place to hunker down and get to work.
But with the grumble of one's tummy, I postponed my to do lists just a few minutes longer. This refreshing cold sunflower soup hit the spot and we were ready to take on the world!
A snap stolen from my Instagram, this view was the perfect companion to tackling some tasks.
After getting a bit done, then came the distractions...
With a beautiful glass exhibit in the Osher Gallery, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a quick peak! This lovely photo was printed on a thin sheet of glass and hung in front of the window. It was the perfect place to capture the light and juxtapose the lake and trees with the green outdoors.
A glass forest. I felt like I was in a children's book...or maybe this was just nagging at my child-like wonder because it took all my effort to "look with my eyes and not with my hands" as mom would so affectionately say during my childhood.
Paper-thin.
And fun to see the Turnblad Mansion peaking through the windows. The new addition to the ASI perfectly complements the older museum and each highlight the other. A lovely combination of Scandinavian design, both old and new.
We also got side tracked trying on glasses. I am on the hunt for some darker rimmed specs...
For now, my search will continue...
Cheers,
Alissa
