Tower

Sometimes in the packing process, vignettes just happen - like this little tower

I bought the Dalahorse in Sweden when I was a kid - long before they became all the rage

on the Internet (actually, long before we had heard about the Internet). It's a nice

souvenir from the family summer trips we took with our old, battered VW Beetle.

The red box is from  a local Salvation Army store. I use all kinds of boxes to

organize my supplies and tools. It's really practical - and it looks pretty, too.


Today's link: amerrymishap on Instagram - I love the calm style of her photos so!

Outside

Another day of packing - which means another day inside the apartment

...but at least I caught this beautiul feather before it continued its journey with the wind.

I'm so busy getting ready with everything, and it's easy to forget the outside world.

So yesterday, I abandoned my boxes in favour of a milonga with my tango friends.
 
Just a tiny breath of normality...


Oh, and I've got a favourite for you: Norwegian girls Moa+Holmberg's new emagazine; SIGN

Vignette

This is making me happy today: my beloved Sophie Conran bowl on the coffee table.

Every day, I'm trying to create spots of normality amidst the ever-changing packing chaos.

August

My apartment today: banana boxes, disorder, and a calendar that says: 14 days to go!

Deciding what to take with me into my new life.

Big journey

Ps. The photo was taken by me yesterday and edited in Photoshop.

The Vsco + Instagram edited original can be found at my Instagram page.


Happy weekend =)

G is for...

I was invited to a dinner party the other day, and I made a couple of pins for the girls

(whose names both start with a G). These are the tiniest gifts I've ever wrapped...


These photos were taken with my iPhone and edited with the VSCO CAM app, which I

just discovered via this post, written by Rach at the lovely Penelope and Pip blog.

Almost summer

The last weeks have been absolutely crazy, but I'm still here

- even though I've had to put my creative life on the shelf for a while.

This weekend, I left everything and went to see my mum

(as we do when we need to collect our thoughts a bit).

It was a beautiful summer weekend:

You can view these photos and a couple more at my Instagram page!

Sneak peek: tango shoe cards

I got the cards back from the printing shop today, and I'm so happy with the result.

Here's a quick snapshot to give you an idea how the cards look like:

The cards are printed on a beautiful, cream-coloured drawing paper. They're double,

and will come with envelopes that I make myself. So this weekend will be filled with

envelope making and styling / photographing for the new shop addition.


Happy weekend!

My new tango shoe bag

I recently finished my first shoe bag!

I'm keeping this one for myself, but I've just found this beautiful, soft plum velvet fabric

which I'll use to make another bag. If I'm happy with it, I'll add it to my Etsy shop!
