Michaela Meadow is a wonderful fine artist and a great friend of us. She's also the creative director and curator of a marvelous magazine named Magpie Magazine. Once she painted a dreamy portrait of v* and has featured some of c*'s work in her magazine.

She is truly one of those people that turn every little thing they touch into magic!

Here are her favorite things:

* The book on the right is from a very inspiring exhibition that I saw recently called 'Angels of Anarchy' which was a fantastic collection of women surrealist work, which included some of my favourite artists; Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo and Lee Miller.

*The shell bra was made by my friend Lara Leaf, which I wore recently for a photoshoot we did together where I dressed up as a mermaid.

* I found the little bird's nest in the attic when I moved into my new home.

*Inside the nest is tucked a small crystal prism which I love gazing through and seeing everything reflected in rainbows.

*Rosebud and lace necklace that I made.

*The mermaid postcard is a painting by John William Waterhouse. I was lucky enough to see the original which is on display at The Royal Academy in London.

*The small mother of pearl brooch of a woman's profile was given to me by an old lady and close friend of mine when she was in her 90s. She bought this when she was a girl my age in Paris.

*A piece of honeycomb, which was also a gift from miss leaf, she keeps bees and this comb was one left over from a honey making session. She also gave me the bottle cap with the bee design.

* The necklace of broken glass comes from my mother, she bought it from a market in South Africa in the 70s.

*Delicate blue and red rose print head scarf - this is also my mothers.

*The picture of the two girls is the album cover for Belle and Sebastian for their record 'Fold your hands child, you walk like a peasant' which is a perfect album for dreamy summer days.

*The long pearl necklace I found washed up on the beach one day, i'd like to fancy it used to belong to a mermaid!

*The fox badge was made by a group of fantastic english (Brighton based) musicians who are all part of different bands but come together as a collective known as The Willkommen Collective.

*And the rest are a few assorted bits of ceramic, mirrors, shells, feathers and seeds - i'm always collecting little treasures like these on my travels!

♥ Wire star, a gift originally meant for the xmas tree which ended in my bed.

♥ D-Mode magazine, it’s hard to get but it worths it.

♥ Photos of Nana, Polly and Mina at the old patio. I carried them with me on my last trip.

♥ Le Petit Prince, foldout version. Supposed to be a present but I kept it to myself. It’s that it’s too nice!

♥ Dutch-Spanish and Spanish-Dutch Dictionary. I still didn’t learn much, boo.

♥ Artaud by (Rabid Fish), a classic and one of the first albums i liked from the beginning to the end.

♥ Popular Songs by Yo La Tengo. About how to get older and greater at the same time.

♥ Abbey Road by The Beatles, the one I always liked the most since side B blew my mind at the age of 6 or 7.

♥ Mom’s Wincofón record player, i rescued it from a donation to some museum my grandma was going to make. Inside, an awful terrible album from which I only like for its colours, the music is so depressingly emetic!

Pink Panther Theme (single) by Henry Mancini, one of the first that anybody incorporates to the mind, but to have it in the hands too is better.

♥ Gaspar Beardley from the Simpsons to a Jack’s chocolat. He’s not my favorite, that’s Otto.

♥ Fenoglio’s chocolate can full of pencils, I carry it with me everywhere when I’m away.

This past weekend we had a little drawing date.

We drank flowery tea, shared a chocolate parfait and ate strawberries and bananas, we talked and laughed and drew while listening to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake until our pale fingers were numb.

It was a lovely afternoon.

These are the drawings we made:
