My Narnia

Went to my mom&dad's today. Amazing :) Premier walk on the frozen lake - love it! Other than that, just one great day!

This is me tonight.

On the couch, glued to the latest issue of (one of) my fav home+decorating magazines, Swedish Allt i Hemmet. Nothing quite beats it. A new magazine that is.

It is a christmas special. Needless to say, I loooong for Christmas by now. Ha! My head is full of inspiration and ideas and plans. Traditionally non-traditional. At least it makes sense in my head. More about that... when we get a little bit closer. Let's now enjoy A U T U M N, yes? :)

Take a look at these icicles!

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

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! :)

Spring-almost-feelings

Ok, so I think I might be back now :) Again. I just started working two weeks ago, and it's kind of a big deal working full weeks (almost) plus doing all the other things that need to be done and the things that I want to do - like blogging :) But anyways, hey? Here we go!

So here's a colour I would love to wear on my nails. Only, this constant cold combined with working with kids make my nails a no-go. So I'll have to wait for warmer temperatures - at least. Oh, this almost made me get spring feelings! :)

On my way home from work

It is absolutely stunning outside these days! Everything is covered with frosty crystals and it is so quiet! People barely speek to one another. It is cold also, but I almost don't mind as long as I wear proper clothing. Here's a picture!

Oh, Christmas Tree!

We just(!) finished decorating our Christmas tree! I'm so happy! It turned out just as great as I wanted it to! Notice the tree stand, what do you think? I've seen it in a few places and we decided to have a go! We like it! (Only it took us forever to get the tree down into that thing...) Anyways, colours are strictly gold+red. And green of course... So, there you go! Now I'm off for a nice winter wonderland walk!

Christmas in my windows!

Today I visited my parents and had such a nice time! We celebrated little sister's excellent grades from school with a lovely cake and also mom and I planted flowers - all of them for Christmas. So now Christmas has come to my windows at home! It's lovely! Flowers are hyacinths and amaryllises - very Christmassy! Pots are second hand + red ones borrowed from mum.

I seriously can't believe the amount of snow that we've gotten in the last few days... I. Love. It. Have to show pictures... I'll see what I can do! :) Anyways, now I have faith for a WHITE Christmas!

Christmas (Tree) Dream

I could totally have a Christmas tree just like this one right here. Totally.

Mood Board #04 Winter + Snowboarding

Snowboarding gear pictures are from Burton in collage by me. (Burton has got such nice stuff, it's insane! Expect another mood board with snowboarding stuff I'd like...)

I'd love to just get outta here, drive for hours and then finally get to snow clad mountains... Oh.

Today it's snowing!

Wow... It's always magical when the first snow falls... :) Winter is kind of my favourite season of the year with snow & candles & Christmas & New Year's...

The snow didn't cover the ground or anything but it gave me hope of a white Christmas.
