April

Nejlikor hemma och utsikt över min lilla arbetsplats på Vikingagatan. Väntar på att väcka någonting till liv. Translation: Carnations at home and a view of my desk where I’ll be spending my days...

Bara hej

Vintern har varit snäll. Utanför mina fönster sjunger fåglar, när jag skriver små berättelser där intill.

Oktober

I Helsingfors

I veckan har jag promenerat omkring i Helsingfors, staden med de vackra husen. Några rosor stod fortfarande i blom och jag längtade inte hem så som jag ibland gör när jag reser bort. Kanske för att...

Alla drömmar ser likadana ut

Till eftermiddagskaffet.

Färger

Färger som jag tycker om just nu.

Om Sommaren

Under sommaren har jag knappt fotograferat någonting, utöver dessa små fragment som ryms i min telefon. Det är sorgligt. Ett, två, tre månader som springer förbi i korta sekvenser. Egentligen gör...

Awoken

I have started to miss keeping my little blog. It feels strange to return yet somehow right.

Instagram

I’m on Instagram now. My username is madelenelindqvist. If you don’t have Instagram it’s still possible to view my photos here.

May III

I’ve bought a bike, read a couple of books, and picked lots of flowers.

May II

In bloom.

May I

I. Summer dress yet to be worn outside, alas soon! II. My 1920s nightgown and 1960s softer-than-soft cardigan go well together. III. I’ve bought a thin leather strap for my Zenit. IV. A happy type...

April through Instax

I have finally bought myself a scanner. Here are some polaroid snapshots taken with my instax during the month of april. Soon I’ll be starting a new blog – this one feels like it belongs to the...

My favorite dresses

Some of my favorite dresses to wear, all from the nineteen-fifties. I don’t have enough room to expand my little collection (not all of it can be seen in the photos) but I wish I could have one for...

You never got me right

April - I think I know what I would like to do. In time. I have nothing special to blog about tonight. Everything seems too routine or too abstract, outside of our little periphery or among dreams....

Tuesday

Lost in a world made for you and me

Here is something to listen to. I’ve been listening to motown hits a lot lately. They add a sense of fun to dreary days – like today. I have only three things to do – leave a dress at the...

Naturkundemuseum

At Naturkundemuseum. Beautiful light and cabinets and birds.

Where did our love go?

I have many more photographs to post from Berlin, only not enough time. I wish there was a way for me to document something from each day. To note how my heart feels in the morning or at night....

Berlin!

Next week I’ll be in Berlin for five whole days. I’ve been there once before, a long time ago. I am currently making a list of places I might enjoy and my list is quite short. I don’t know if I...

February III

I don’t like posting pictures of myself like this and only do it rarely - but when I do I prefer to post natural photographs. So this is me, all pale, with newly cut hair and my favorite gingham...

February II

Pastel colors. Thinking about where to go. Soft angora cardigans. Long walks in the snow. Writing a novel in my mind.

Monday

I. From my birthday. I had cake at home in the afternoon and went to the cinema with K. in the evening. In a sense it was the nicest birthday I’ve had in recent years – I felt serene all through...

Birthday

Today is my twenty-second birthday. It’s snowing and I’ve been given a bouquet of white tulips. Soon there’ll be a table full of my favorite pastries and I’m feeling rather loved. Twenty-two is...

February x3

I. Minus twelve and the trees were still. II. Looking at a typewriter unable to write. III. Being with you.

Only love can break your heart

February

Small things that make me happy right now - I’ve bought pink tulips and plane tickets to Berlin. The array of fifties dresses currently being stored in my closet. Listening to classical music and...

Overnight, immediately

I wish it could magically become spring, overnight, immediately.

Into Eternity

I have taken more photographs during this year than ever before. Looking at them makes me feel very pleased in an almost silly way. My archive of photography tells me that I have been depressed and...

December III

Merry christmas my dear readers and visitors. I have really appreciated receiving your comments and letters this year, like the one before and all of the five (!) ones that have passed since I...
