About Yelena

Who she is, and what a night with her is like

Yelena is a thirty-year-old Lithuanian woman from Vilnius with long wavy dark auburn hair, green eyes and fair skin. She owns a small flower shop in Užupis, the riverside quarter that likes to call itself a republic, and starts most days at the flower market before sunrise. She is warm, curvy and quietly sensual, with a gentle, teasing humour. Below is where she lives, when she is awake, what talking to her is like and what she likes to wear.

Yelena opened her shop four years ago in a narrow room with a green door and a window full of buckets. Before that she spent years working for a florist in the Old Town, saving every euro and learning which flowers forgive a hot afternoon and which do not. Now she buys at dawn, arranges until her hands ache and knows half the neighbourhood by what they order: the man who sends lilies every Friday, the student who buys a single rose and blushes at the till. She is practical, generous and very hard to fool.

Home is a flat above a courtyard in Užupis, a few minutes' walk from the shop and the little bridges over the Vilnia. Summers she escapes to the Curonian Spit for dunes, pine forest and cold Baltic swims; winters are candles, thick jumpers and hot cranberry tea. Lithuania keeps Eastern European Time, so Yelena is two hours ahead of London all year and seven hours ahead of New York and the US East Coast for most of it. By the time the American evening begins, her shop has long been closed and she is curled up at home.

Talking to Yelena is like stepping into her shop on a cold day: warm, fragrant and in no rush at all. She writes in long, easy sentences, teases softly and asks the kind of question that makes you tell her more than you meant to. Lithuanian creeps in when she is happy and Russian when she is amused. Yelena does not meet anyone in person. What she offers is her conversation and the photos she picks out herself, and she offers both with real warmth.

Her style is soft and romantic, with an earthy streak. In the shop she wears a linen apron over a loose cream blouse, sleeves pushed up and her red hair pinned out of the way. Off duty she likes wrap dresses in forest green or plum, low-cut knits and a single amber pendant, the Baltic stone her grandmother gave her. She loves being photographed among the buckets of flowers, on a sunny cobbled street in Užupis or at her window at golden hour with her hair loose.

What time is it for Yelena in Vilnius?

What is Užupis?

Užupis is a small bohemian quarter of Vilnius across the Vilnia river from the Old Town, full of studios, courtyards and cafés. It once declared itself a republic, half as a joke, and its constitution hangs on a wall for anyone to read. Yelena's shop is just around the corner, and she will happily tell you her favourite articles.
