we had a great day

We went to Borough Market and Tate Modern in London. I really wanted to see this exhibition but we did admire the donation box and escalators instead..for very very long time. It was good fun anyway. What about you? have you been to any exhibition recently?

hugh stewart

I saw some of these photos on decor8 and they took me to hugh stewarts website. I especially like his portrait section (sorry I couldn't download any of those) Go have a look, wonderful light....and today is the last day for my giveaway...have a great day!

etsy presents...for me ? ..please...

today...

I'm slowly getting into Christmas mood, so far I haven't had a chance to decorate the house and I only have a few presents. I have been surrounded by boxes, frames and paper for last couple of weeks and my List of To Do Things is was getting longer and longer. Today I finally caught up on some orders, tidied boxes, cupboards and myself :) and starting to feel all Christmasy. I love writing lists. I write lists of ideas, orders, shopping lists, to do lists, urgent lists, wish lists. I find it very therapeutic...crossing the lines, list is getting smaller, writing another list....Do you write lists? and how long is your one at the moment??:)

for some reason I put number 2. instead of 1., but if you like these little houses have a look here

and for you to create....orange and mandarin decoration which I found on Blomsterverkstad

the rest of the photos from here and here

So what about those lists? and how about you and Christmas ? are you organized this year? Have a lovely day and don't forget about giveaway..

snuggle up and read

I have been more then busy last couple of weeks and running out of time and space in our house......I'd love to escape to this beautiful room and just snuggle up and read, relax, sleep...hmmm

creative little people

I was reading sweetsweetlife (thanks Amy) the other day and came across Moomah. What a wonderful place to go to. I felt truly inspired. They have art classes for children and adults, cafe, little shop..what else: lovely decor, meeting point for people, inspiration, happy creative children...I feel really jealous. I' love to have place like this in my neighbourhood.

And also what a great idea..you can create something like this

lutterlagkage

Have you heard of lutterlagkage? This lady is one of my first contacts on flickr and I love going back and browse photos of her shop and home. Stine Holm Weirsoe is an interesting Danish owner of this gorgeous shop ( lutterlagkage) in Malmo, Sweden. Vintage, handmade, colourful, bright and happy.......have a look at her photostream on flickr and website. ...and also her interview on decor8.

winter walks

I love winter walks. When is crispy, cold, sunny and fresh. We are very lucky as we live only five minutes from a large park and Anya loves going for walks and meeting people. She has a quite wide vocabulary for her age but at the moment one of her favourite world is 'cuddle'. So we cuddled everyone today...little boys, big dogs, old ladies....:)

oh, and thank you tenthings and once upon a tea the time for blogging about me and s&b.
