mother of pearl

How beautifull it was yesterday evening! The sky and the clouds were a symphony in pastellcolours, colours of mother of pearl, dark- and dovegrey, pinkiest pink, salmon pink, violets, blue in all shades, and beneath, still, the christmas lights on the streets and in the windows of nearly every house.
Kaffe Fassett, the famous english designer, once visited Iceland in wintertime and stated that he felt like sitting inside a shell.
