// H&M ♥ ME //

on a totally regular day
I received a sms,
asking:
"did you get something nice in the mail today?"

me,
I went to the postoffice
there,
this package was waiting for me

inside the cardboard box
one beautiful gift box,

inside the beautiful gift box
one sweet decorated envelope,

inside the sweet envelope
one pretty small envelope
with a tiny card saying
H&M ♥ you

// smile //

and ten other fashion bloggers

There will be makeover + fashion shoots + a lot of X-mas

{ OH JOY }

// HEARTBREAKING //

This stool is so lovely

It breaks my heart

So lovely I was not sure

to tell you about it

WOOD & WOOL STOOL

// smile //

You see

it won´t ship to Norway

so I´m not able to buy

I bought it
IT`S ALL MINE
can not stop smiling

But I guess some other 

sweet & wonderful person

will love this stool 

as I do

and give it 

a warm & gentle home

Sweet wonderful friends

thank you

for all your warming words 

on my earlier post

You put a smile one my face

xoxo

// ON MY WAY TO FREEDOM //

Sounds dramatic
But it´s only me figuring out
in the end
how to live my life

I quit my job so I could do what I love
And believe me I do
It´s just when it gets to much of it
the fun & good part
is gone

So today I´m a bit proud
that I managed to follow my heart
my feelings
my intuition

I´m still polite & nice

only trying to say goodbye
to the little nice girl
that always smiles and nods
and in the end looses herself

just as you know
I will still give you a smile
that is
a real one

// big big smile //

// S E R E N I T Y //

Somehow these photos
makes me want to whisper

the
colors
material
light

feelings
full of them

My lamp from Granit
finally up

Tiny Christmas tree from the woods

Cones from the garden
+
my new vases from Sostrene Grene

Wish you a wonderful weekend
shhhh...

Some months ago
I had a sweet visit
from Selina Lake & Debi Treloar
Styling
Taking photos
For Selina´s new book
Homespun Style

The book is
launched someday in March 2012
But ready to preorder now

Me
I´m really exited to see the book
and I have a plan
to go to London

Even more exited
about that

Big smiles
