A english schoolboy made out of rubber bought recently in fleamarket.
A digital but yet very analogue shopping bag bought in India some years ago.
Stuck inside with a cold for days, so boring..

happy new

New years eve was such a bright crisp day. A walk by the sea. More of this crispness and sun please.

Oups, a good month passed by... I went to Paris and then soon there was christmas and newyears.

Lots of pictures in store to be shown here.

I stayed with a friend in Paris and here are some details from her nice little flat. So many nice things, textiles and colors to look at there.

tree life

2011-11-25T20:47:00.000+01:00

The japanese cherry tree in our garden in three different outfits. The last one is from a frosty morning last week. I do like the seasons.

I´m going to Paris next week, do you have any tips on things to see and do?

neon details

2011-11-23T16:08:00.000+01:00

Not much activity here lately. Will be back sooner this time..

pale pink

2011-11-08T12:42:00.001+01:00

I wonder what happened to that little pig, and who are all those trainerwearers?

bazar

2011-11-06T16:53:00.000+01:00

I`m going to participate in a christmas bazar at Elnas place in december. I think it will be warm and cozy. So welcome if you happen to be around!

on the way and back

2011-10-26T20:56:00.000+02:00

The little one has started nursery and between cycling there in the morning and afternoon I try to get back into doing some work.

New light on everyday things makes magic.

The long tall birch in the neighbours garden in different lights.
And a pair of little leathershoes from fleamarket.

Three pretty colors.
Top - old south swedish woven woolcushion from my relatives.

Bottom - Embroidery found second hand, maybe from Crete.

If you are in Malmö go and see Sofias exhibition.

2011-10-09T22:24:00.000+02:00

For now. Some rooms from hemnet.

^^^^^^^^^

2011-10-06T11:50:00.000+02:00

Some things at home. Its a old packet for a razorblade in the last picture, pretty.

mornings

2011-09-27T21:23:00.000+02:00

Bedroom window , top pic yesterday and bottom today. And one of the last flowers from the garden, don´t know the name. Its been beautiful warm autumn the last few days, so nice.

veterans

2011-09-26T22:28:00.000+02:00

Went along to a local veteran motor fair the other weekend, more fun things to look at than I thought.

This would certainly be my dream veteran.
This we had all my childhood, also nice.

☆

2011-09-22T13:36:00.000+02:00

Ok winter, we are prepared.

They are all recent fleamarket finds.

leftovers

2011-09-19T23:35:00.001+02:00

Some leftover summerpictures that all of a sudden seem distant...
-Midsummerseve on the beach
-Sunset from the kitchen window
-Friends come riding along the beach to their wedding on the the hill
-This tiny nice festival

-------------------------

2011-09-14T17:54:00.000+02:00

Pretty this, almost like a artpiece..

But its a horsejumping obstacle found at blocket.

☀ ☂

2011-09-13T21:52:00.000+02:00

So much for frequency..

Much wind, sun and rain here today. And sweetsmelling Discovery apples, the best.

I like this idea

2011-08-31T17:57:00.003+02:00

Last year I designed this children series of textiles and ceramics for Kardelen and now it´s out for sale with the autumn news. The series contains blankets in wool and cotton, bedlinen, two pots and a dinnerset. Always fun to see the products realised!

∇∇∇

2011-08-30T22:55:00.000+02:00

Light looking black and white.
I think autumn arrived today, welcome-I like you in a lot of ways.

foodcoloring

2011-08-24T22:51:00.000+02:00

I will try to be a bit more frequent now!

pause-picture

2011-08-06T10:21:00.000+02:00

Still busy. Wouldn´t mind these garden furniture found at blocket. I like how they look sort of shaky.

old fashion

2011-08-02T11:18:00.000+02:00

Went and visited a old museum cottage nearby, left intact with 19th century living standard. Not a straight line and a lot of charm but very primitive. Good to remind yourself that Sweden was a poor place very recently. I like the way the clothes are hung on a metal wire in the hallway.

finds

2011-07-26T14:31:00.000+02:00

Some of last saturdays fleamarket finds.
A fifties Emmaljunga pram, cost me 20 kr(2 euros!). A bit worn but with the original seatcover with campingpattern and fully rideable.
A pair of näbbstövlar, beakboots.
A nice wooden toy.

bag from Ghana

2011-07-25T23:11:00.000+02:00

Bought a little bag from Ghana. The teqnique is called Kente cloth. Nice one here.

Discobeading, found via this blog.

polish papercuts

2011-07-18T22:13:00.000+02:00

Because they are so pretty (^:

by the sea

2011-07-15T10:43:00.000+02:00

Busy, busy. Not much time for the computer.

Some pictures from a barbecue by the sea one night. The baltic sea always looks different, this night it was a milky pale-blue at dusk. The best place.

My shop

2011-07-05T18:54:00.000+02:00

Yesterday I opened my little fleamarket up for business as the touristseason is upon us. As fleamarkets is a main hobby of mine I also have my own little retro-shop in our barn, as it would be impossible to keep all good finds for my self ;-). So if you are passing our village you are welcome to pop in!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2011-06-30T21:19:00.000+02:00

Top is my late grandmothers little summerhouse in the garden of her house that gets new owners tomorrow. It was always a bit exciting to have fika there when I was little.
I made a patchwork cushion for a kitchen chair, should make another one really.

little books

2011-06-29T14:40:00.000+02:00

Time goes fast in the summer. So much to do...painting windows, mowing lawns, cycling, barbecuing...
Found these little books in the shelves. I bought them in a fleamarket in India. They are educational books for children with sweet illustrations.
The one with the colors and letters reminds me a bit of of Hilma af Klints work.

sand

2011-06-15T16:50:00.000+02:00

Sundays trip to the beach. Strawberries, this years first swim(dip), soft white sand (good for digging, pic 2).

mustache

2011-06-09T21:34:00.002+02:00

I bought this silly old mug in a flea a while back. I like the typeface and color, and the sillyness.

2011-06-06T12:42:00.000+02:00

He turned one last week, crazy how much can happen in a year. We gave him the world as a present. The little shirt I got from my grandparents when I was his age, I love the print that was made in a daycenter for handicapped people.

summer

2011-06-05T22:13:00.000+02:00

A week flew by and summer is truly here. Long, long nights, bare feet, flowers in the garden and LIGHT.

Beautiful ceramics, Marianne Nielsen, via old DKDS friend Emmas nice blog.

Mr & Mrs Switch

2011-05-30T22:45:00.000+02:00

They live in the hallway and the workroom. I bought his eyes in India.

Pine fresh

2011-05-28T11:07:00.000+02:00

Noticed all the fresh shoots and pinecones on the firtrees when I walked in the woods yesterday.
So pretty in color and shape.

This is a real good use of old boring papers!

bugs and flowers

2011-05-26T16:39:00.000+02:00

Lots of flowers to pick out there now. Lupins are one of my favourite.
One bug from China and one bug from our garden.

stormy

2011-05-25T23:06:00.002+02:00

We had a thunderstorm the other day, mad skies. And a stormcloud patterned chinese paper box and leftovers of my flowerpicking.

Maybe my graffiti desire (see last post) out here in the country could be satisfied here.

carved

2011-05-22T22:38:00.000+02:00

Met this fella on a walk along the railway tracks.
Made me happy as I can sometimes miss graffiti out here in the country.
Like these two as well.

patterns + windows

2011-05-20T12:36:00.000+02:00

Three more hemnet pictures.

I quite like this take on weaving, Anne Mette Larsen, more here.

Pink+grey 2

2011-05-16T22:22:00.000+02:00

Our japanese cherrytree is flowering a good couple of weeks earlier than last year.
Such a display, especially sunlit against heavy rainclouds.

....................

2011-05-15T17:21:00.001+02:00

A drawing from a while back. Sort of related to these.

Longing a bit for more undisturbed drawing time at the moment.

blue-green kitchens

2011-05-11T23:29:00.000+02:00

Some estateagent pictures from around Sweden, found on hemnet.
Blue-green-turqoise kitchens of little houses in places where I`ve never been.

Long

2011-05-10T22:07:00.000+02:00

Long evenings, long shadows.

Doll

2011-04-29T17:51:00.000+02:00

This lady I found among the toys at a local fleamarket. I guess she is african and I really wish she could tell me her story.

light-welcome

2011-04-27T23:15:00.000+02:00

I get used to this light and softer winds so quick, probably a good thing... Nature is exploding with green and life now, feel lucky to live in the middle of it.

Reminders of a party

2011-04-26T22:08:00.000+02:00

We had a party to welcome spring the other weekend. Decorations are still hanging around.
English paper bunting.
Discoball.
Indian plastic flowers.

Thankyou for the mention! :-)

2011-04-24T22:46:00.000+02:00

dishes

2011-04-23T22:37:00.002+02:00

Easter started with a burst waterpipe. So no running water in the house at the moment. Just when I got my lifes first dishwasher... But dirty dishes can look sort of pretty to.

Round

2011-04-15T23:43:00.002+02:00

Eggs from some friends chickens, bedroomlamp in the sun, embroidery from fleamarket.

time flies

Still lifes

2010-11-22T15:46:00.000+01:00

A little sunbeam came through the window this morning and hit the shelf.
Then it was gone and now its all rain and dark again, darkest time of the year here now. Tough but also calm and sort of cozy.
This book is suitable reading right now.

A walk

2010-11-12T14:18:00.002+01:00

From a walk down to the sea the other week, feels like autumn has stepped up a gear since then.

Look at these beautiful rugs, wish I owned one.

Not much updating lately, would like to get back in to it..
These are pictures left behind by my boyfriends nephew when visiting us this summer. I think they are great!

2010-09-23T22:53:00.004+02:00

I like this new childish life ♥

mini

2010-09-23T22:29:00.005+02:00

Something I couldn´t resist buying in a flea when it costs nothing. Babyshirt, collar and leathershoes.

So fine and delicate and the shoes actually fits my littleman.

choice

2010-09-20T22:52:00.005+02:00

The results from the swedish general election yesterday brought sad news. The far right got far too many votes for comfort....

autumn

2010-09-19T10:41:00.002+02:00

Autumn is here for sure.
We found some chantarelles in the woods, so tasty.
The dress is fifties or early sixties from a recent fleamarket.

Light and shadows

2010-08-05T15:14:00.005+02:00

Still not so much time for posting but enjoying summer and the light.

growing

2010-07-19T16:59:00.002+02:00

Little man is growing so fast and with this lovely warm weather not many clothes are required. He will have grown out of some of his clothes before even using them :-).
These trousers are probably from the seventies from a fleamarket.

sugar and cream

2010-07-19T16:11:00.007+02:00

I like the textures and shapes of these cream and sugar sets found in fleamarkets.

...........................................

2010-07-14T18:30:00.004+02:00

Summer continues with heat, long nights and wild strawberries on a straw.
Can hardly beleive that this is the same place. But I do like the contrast.

midsummer and beyond

2010-07-06T10:57:00.005+02:00

Time flies and goes slowly at the same time. Summer and warmth finally came wich is so nice. And our little man is now over a month old already. Hope I can post here more often soon.

A new life!

2010-06-16T13:25:00.005+02:00

Its been a while and its got its reasons...
While the cherrytree was blossoming in the garden our baby son was born!
He´s two weeks old now and we enjoy our new life with him very, very much.
