Fruit Salad

Today, me and J went to my parents' for dinner. For dessert, we made the most gorgeous, lovely looking pink fruit salad. Unfortunately, I left my camera at home but as soon as I make one again, there will be pictures here! Meanwhile, the recipe, and you can all see for yourselves!
In my family, making a fruit salad is something of an art :) It takes tiny pieces of fruit in a perfect blend, just enough sugar and raisins and perfectly whipped cream. Like I said, it's an art.

Sara Norris Photography

A few days ago I kind of stumbled across a blog post with wonderful gorgeous pictures. I immediately switched off autopilot mode and went into detail mode. I love these photos! They are so fresh and happy and colourful! Behind them is artist/photographer Sara Norris, who works out of New Mexico, USA. On her Etsy shop, there are heaps of lovely pictures available for purchase. Here's a few of my favourites:

I feel so inspired! I think I could fit any of her photos anywhere in my home! You really should stop by! :)

Just another entrance post

Here's the latest achievement in the entrance, gypsum boards. Just thought I'd show you! :)
This is a song that I like a lot. Shivers!

Take a look at these icicles!

It's beautiful and scary. From yesterday's walk.

Would you like a semla?

This is the time of year for semlor (lenten bun? shrovetide bun? cream puff/bun?) Today after our walk, we stopped by a confectionary shop and bought ourselves a couple. Yum! :)
I enjoyed mine with a nice cup of tea. Twinings Earl Grey, naturally.

Vintage Boots

These are my mum's old boots from the 60's. She was 15 when she got them and I like them so so so much! Talk about quality...!
The picture is from the walk we took today, trying to catch some of the gorgeous sunlight. Actually, I really don't mind snow and cold if at least it's sunny out. Lately, even I've been starting to tire of overcast skies. More sun! :)

Online Magazine

Pictures from Lonny Magazine (issue three) in collage by me.
Lonny Magazine is a new online home decor magazine. Three issues published, all available on their webpage. Such a great idea! Even though I would kind of miss the charm of a paper copy... It's just a whole other experience, one doesn't have to rule out the other! :)

S'mores Recipe

So, s'mores are kind of like an American campfire snack. But I suppose you'd find them in heaps more places. After my previous post, I received a request for the s'mores recipe. Therefore, voilà! :)

Also, this seems like a great time to mention that I gladly accept any requests or suggestions on what to blog about or whatever! Just fire away! :)
