Vaskegodis

I´ve written about them before. And I do it again. House cleaning is such fun and without chemicals when I use Enjo. Finally I´ve talked my friends into it too. You should try it too. It works.  

Villa Chi

Ved overtakelse i 2009...

...og etter noen år med maling og svette har vi fått det ganske fint. Tusen takk til alle som har hjulpet oss på veien. Dagen ble feira med å hjelpe noen av våre gode hjelpere å flytte.

Lenkekjærlighet

PrydeligÅshild innfører lenkekjærlighet over grensa fra Sverige. For et bra initiativ! De svenskene altså. Alltid et steg foran. Jeg synes derimot det minner om den nordnorske oppfinnelsen framsnakking. Svein er en super fyr, så mye positivitet og tro i den karen. Jeg synes vi må bli flinkere til framsnakking i Norge. Så lenkekjærlighet er supert. Det gjelder å framsnakke blogger du synes er gode. Her er 5 norske jeg alltid sjekker innom. Lenkekjærlighet til folket. 



Bloggugla-kul og særegen dame. Lager fine saker som henger. 
Babyramen-ofte en fin kopp på lager. Og annet flott. 
Dotty Love-en uvanlig kul norsk blog. Snadder. 
Brigg-alltid en knakende idé på lur. 
Lahras-min inspirasjon. Min venn. 

National day

We had a perfect national day. No stress, happy faces, flags, "bunad", friends, family (but missed mum&dad), cakes and norwegian "lapskaus". Today I have friends coming over for brunch. I must get up and get the house nd food ready. Hurray for long week ends!

Grønne enger

Å, la meg ligge i grønne enger.
La min hage bli grønn og fin. 
Gjem naboens jungel. 

Andres rot og skrot. 

Gi meg grønne fingre.

Omså bare en liten.

Og tålmodighet.

Lukk øynene. 

Pust.

...og det hjelper i et øyeblikk. 

Art fart bart

Skeivt er greit.

Lille frø

Sov, du vesle spire ung,
ennå er det vinter,
ennå sover bjørk og lyng,
roser, hyasinter.
Ennå er det langt til vår,
langt til rogn i blomstring står.
Sov, du vesle spire, 
ennå er det vinter.

Yep. I`m on pinterest and Instagram. Are you? (It´s actually quite crazy to see my own pictures pinned by others). Please connect. I don´t show other´s pictures and inspiration on my blog. I fancy Pinterest instead.

Putekrig

I recognize I have a thing for nice tea towels. And pillows. I also have a thing for making pillows out of towels I think are to nice to be used in the kitchen. Like this triangle one. Ferm living feature Rarerina. Gotta love it. 

The way we see it

" If you change the way you look at things,

the things you look at change".

Be the change you want to see in the world

My refreshing candle from the danish company Karmameju reminds me of that calm, kind feeling after a yoga class. It takes me back to yogi mood. Start with yourself. I´ve begun. I´m finally reading books. They fill me with inspiration. Kindness. To myself and others. These lovely pictures are from Josephine Selander´s book Våga yoga. They remind me I want to go to India once. But it´s good to know that you don´t have to go to a retreat, spend hours on your mat and become a vegetarian to have yoga in your life. It´s all about awareness. You can take a break wherever. Just breathe. Feel. Accept. As Michael jackson sang: Start with the man in the mirror. Namaste. 

Lovenest

Finally. Right before our house anniversary, we got these lamps up. They came with this house we bought 3 years ago. We gave them some tender, love and care with layers of spray paint. Then they relaxed in our basement for some years. Hurray for sayings like "Just do it". And did I mention, I love our bedroom. It´s simple and full of light. At this time of the year, though. 

New vs old

  

Old vs new. My middle name. It´s such a cliché. But cliches were made for a reason. They are good.
