grass + hot pink

I spent most of the last 4 days at home surrounded by boxes of tissues, drinking lemon tea and I had a lot of time to think. I planned things for next year, for my shop, gathered ideas and thoughts. There will be few items discontinued in next couple of months. So just a quick note if you are thinking of buying these, hurry up! They won't be available soon. And two of them will be these: 

Little Hearts in Grass - small + large size
Love Hearts in Hot Pink - small + large size
at the moment they are still available in my shop

This year I have been extremely well organised (in my terms) when it comes to Christmas preparation. I took these photos in late August, and some of these have been used as Christmas postcards, which I add to every order in my shop. Enjoy bright pre - Christmas inspiration.

New York

We had a great time, got back couple of days ago, very tired and jet lagged but full of fantastic memories. We travelled with a few friends ( one of them was her :) and her husband. M. and him run NY marathon on Sunday and as our friend said ( it was his first one) it's better then 10 motivational days. The support was fantastic, very uplifting and loud. I was taking loads of videos, so if time allows I will try to make my NY video. We stayed in Chelsea and I took tips from this book and from Cup of Joe NY guide. I especially loved these restaurants (Freemans , Co.) Well done to M. who is a huge dreamer and achiever and huge thank you to my parents who came to look after Anya for the whole week. See you next time NY. 

Kråkvik&D’Orazio

Wouldn't you want stick flowers on your knees one day, just like that?:) we are flying tomorrow, thank you all for your tips! have a nice weekend everyone:)

NY

We are off to NY on Friday. M. is running his 4th marathon there and I'm going to support him, plus do a bit of shopping and basically having a holiday. I went to New York only once before, so any last minute ideas? Cool restaurant, bars? places not to miss? also I would like to see a bit of outside Manhattan, Brooklyn etc. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated:)

emily

I mentioned interior designer and TV girl Emily Henderson before but I have to say it again. I really like her style, sometimes a bit too colourful for me, but so fun! I made few pictures for her and her family and I almost have to say I love her when I see one of them on her picture wall in her home ( the first photo at the top, the white one in the middle, I know small but cute:) and plus she is a very sweet lady as well. thanks Emily!
