winter days

it hasn't been very cold the last few weeks but it was raining way too much and it seems like everyone has a cold.  trying to eat lots of vegetables and also made a kind of syrup with ginger, lemon and honey... spend a lot of evenings inside, watching carnivale.  brilliant series! so sad it's over now...

the house of mina perhonen

we really LOVE the photos anne dokter made of the house from mina perhonen, and the house is very nice too, ofcourse.

nr 10

the past few days i've spent a lot of time at home, with a cold. reading apartamento's lastest issue. it's a very good one.  loved reading the article on christophe lemaire and very much love the photos of ola rindal.

some things

some recent finds and presents. a pincushion made out of seashells // some plastic boxes for soap (they always remind me of this) // a pin (thank you L!) // an apple shaped bowl

the best wishes to all of you.

christmas is a-comin'

we don't own much xmas decoration, but the tree is an old time favourite that we used to sell in our shop. and that little snow man was a present from sophie today, so so nice. wish we had more of these urpo & turpo cards to send to all of our friends, but this way everyone gets to see it anyway...
