Seeds of beauty

I collect all type of seeds, dried plants and pine cones. All that I find laying around in the garden, on walks in the forest or just on trips abroad.
Just like I collect seashells I collect seeds and nuts.
Though when placed on Swedish glassdesigner Ingegerd Råman´s low bowl Pond,
everyting is beautiful.
Have a wonderful weekend

The view








We at number 41 by Uttran took down 1 and half tree and won some more view.
Been wanting to do it for a long time, and now finally it was taken care of.
Will also win more wood for the fireplace. Clearly a win-win situation :)

Front veranda is getting ready

Apple branches
Erik brought this bench made from old loghouses. You can see how the wood has aged. Just beautiful. Think we have to make low, sofa-ish and low beds from this material and offcourse big tables !! Would you like one ? I sure would.

The simple way to make a plastic pot look good.

The black outdoor lamps are in place and has electricity but need to be hanged. When all of the lighting turns on at 22 ( 10 pm ) its so nice. To have the house welcome you with the lights on and a big smile when you arrive is wonderful.
Apple branches is the mantra of the week ( and hopefully more...)
This is the table that we will show for the first time at Formex Fair. Sad that I have to be without it. Have grown completely attached to it.

The bench where I sit every morning holds my old lovable cushions.
My demiJohn´s are my favorite outdoor vase. The apple branches are now perfect size to fit them. Decorating with what the garden gives such pleasure, because I can not make applepie from all of them the apples - they are sooooo many. You can not use all the fruit because the garden is overflowing so decorating with fruit branches is my new thing. Next are the pears.

Friday

Sallad for lunch ?


Its the little things!

Living by a lake and keeping the souvenirs from the ocean close to my heart.
Water in all forms is inspiring.

Working from home has advantages.

Maybe I should get a boat?

Natural beauty
Think I will do a shoot here for my new outdoor lamp end of aug...
Powerwalk along the lake makes me think better.
Ok. Some news first

Inspire


Water of all kinds inspire me. Our lake Uttran I see almost everyday and love seeing the changes. This picture I took at the west coast of Sweden at Getterön where my family lives. Remember the picture made into wallpaper in my bathroom is taken at the same place.
Liquid beauty.
