they also have an online-shop. check it here.

hanna konola

tiles

since veronik and her boyfriend bought a house and she had to choose tiles for some rooms, we began to pay so much attention to tiles. here are some nice ones. the last picture is from the groundfloor in her house. she's moving there next week!

a hole is to dig

take a look at this book from ruth krauss, with drawings from maurice sendak. "a first book of definitions". it's really funny, with sentences like "a face is so you can make faces", "the world is so you have something to stand on", "eyebrows are to go over your eyes", "a tablespoon is to eat a table with",... it's a bit absurd, but soooo funny! and supercute drawings!
also check "open house for butterflies", in the same series.

sverige part 2- in the countryside

our beds and then us.
p.s.: thank you l. and r. for the nice food and cherry pie. we love the country side,
peace and quietness.
