2016 has arrived

Christmas and celebrating New Years eve with friends and family at home in our house in Skåne.
My closest family, my mom&dad with my brother and his wife and three children came the 26 of Dec and stayed over. Love having the house full of friends and family.  Right now we have 9 guests, containing of 3 families in our Villa Hoby Mosse that arrived before New Years Eve and tonight we will be celebrating a birthday so lots of cooking and and ejoying food together as well as going for long walks with our dogs ( to be able to eat...) and games of ludo/fia.  The Stable is where most of the cooking is done and also where we hang out the most.  

This past year has contained so much and I will not bore you with the details but I´m truly thankful for all, both positive and negative. Might  sound crazy but...it´s always the solving of problems/challenges that we face that along with the easy coming positive that molds us into who we become. 
 
A new year is here and new beginnings possible in the best way. 

I was going through my designs after hearing Li Edelkoort lecture about 2017 interior trends and felt this deep brown wooden south african mask along with withes and black had the right cultural mix deco feeling and wanted to give you a sense of the new interior year as I see it.

Im not a perfectly consistent blogger(...lazy...) but will be here telling the longer stories that are important off course. Sometimes several times per week, sometimes not. 

HAPPY that YOU stopped by. 
 Wishing you a good start of 2016

Come back soon

A W A I T E D | amaryllis

Awaited amaryllis in a ring of hyacinth sat in moss. Really like a big round pot for this and it does not have be one suited for it. I always just use what I love.

Every year before Christmas I get amaryllis as a plant/bulb along with hyacinths.  The smell of hyacinth and the amazing grace and beauty of amaryllis is an unbeatable combo. I usually get cut flower amaryllis as well, but seeing the whole powerful process from bulb to blooming flower in such a short time is nothing short of a miracle every time.

W R A P P I N G | time

Time to wrap the gifts. 
This year as I went through all the papers I discard for not printing right from my home printer, I came up with the idea of using the still nice looking side of the normal print paper to wrap with.  

The normal size printing paper does not work for large gift packages, but for small ones they are perfect. 
Instead of throwing the papers out  or keeping them in pile...as I have, for "later" use  (that never happens...) I made Christmas wrapping out of them. Used our Christmas card front as the finishing touch. The wax seal makes it look a lot like Christmas to me.

Have a good gift wrapping Sunday.

P O S T | greetings

For me to get a letter the old fashioned snail mail way is a treat. Not so much the ones you know has to do with your bills, but the other kind. 

The kind you see and get this good sense within just from spotting it. The envelope that speaks to you. I did not send X mas cards for many years, but I have started again. I don´t send hundreds. I send a few selected ones to friends and family that I want them to know I feel for them. 

To make, write, seal and send off these is the start of the  holiday feeling for me.

Since it is so easy to have your own cards made, I just made mine online inserting my own pictures. The window on the card is the old stable windows the first winter before we changed them. They looked so amazing as the winter cold crept in, but did not keep the cold out, so they had to go. But - thanks to these pictures that now came to be the X mas cards I will never forget them.
