More stars

I am puzzled...I found this Doris Day puzzle in flea market for 4 euros. It is in mint condition and my guess is it was never used. If you don't know who Doris Day is, shame on you!

Almost there

I started decorating for Christmas. I haven't yet put all the decorations out. I just changed some of my table arrangements, changed some pillow covers and put the most summerish stuff in storage. I have bought some new decorations: some paper stars, globes etc. In addition I am going to bring everything I have in storage in the city. This Christmas will be the most colourful ever!

Sparkly eyes

Darling, your eyes look like diamonds! This is what you could say to this pink 2 euro ice bear eraser that got my small diamond studs as eyes.

Gotta do something

As there are no more real flowers to cut in the garden one hast to find another way of bringing flowers in. I could of course buy some cut flowers but as we only are at Vårkulla on weekends I seldom have the heart to buy flowers and leave them to die for the weekdays.

Loving enamel

I found the first old enamel jug last summer and now I have three. The latest (in picture) I bought last weekend. I use them for flowers outside but as it was raining and there are no flowers left, we took the photo inside. The jug is a bit rusty inside so it cannot really be used for coffee.

Time for candles

The best (and worst) part of the autumn is the darkness - you can stay in and enjoy candle light.

For bird (and apple) lover's

You must have noticed I like to use birds in decoration. Here is a Swedish one on our living room table. I bought the apple first and happened to see the bird in the exact same colour in Oscar and Clothilde and had to buy it. The apple is metal and the bird is ceramics.
