Happy New Year!

nyår 1nyår 2nyår 3Dearest readers! This day and all days of the year I am so very grateful to have you as companions and followers. The only difference is that the magic change of 2012 going 2013 reminds me of actually saying something about it. This is where I collect, organize and often just throw out what inspires and captures my eye. If that in just a brief moment inspires you too that is enough to keep me going for another year and so I really hope it does.

A lot has happened since last year. My dream of changing profession has with lots and lots of hard work and many no´s turned into opportunities and positive surprises, I´ve moved into an office with two lovely ladies and feel inspired (almost) every day, I get to work a with people I admire and respect, and the things that are not done is not because there is nothing to show but a result of the lack of time to expose it. Major improvement.

I have two amazing kids and a fantastic husband who, without getting too unique, are the biggest and most important part of my life. And I have a family, friends and scenery that I thank whoever is in charge every day for. But don´t get me wrong – of course my life like everyone else´s also has it´s share of people I love being ill, days that are heave like there was no return, unfairness, frustration and the general feeling of just being too tired. But this is not what this blog is about. Maybe that sometimes turns out too impersonal but for me there is a lot of me in the blog anyhow. Every post says something and I really hope you like and enjoy it as much as I do when creating it.

Thank you all for being a part of what I love and staying with me for all this time. Wishing you the very best of 2013!

December frenzy

But with loads and loads of work to be done before Friday, no gifts even bought far less wrapped and a house that is up side down – all I´m hoping for is a bit more time. I don´t even have enough to go to the office and respond to friends calls and emails = being a bad friend and colleague. But I´m guessing we are all in the same boat so let´s give this week a last kick in the but before checking out for in a very near and attractive future.

Happy Thursday!

Annaleena recently posted some pics from the store so had to borrow some of them and invite you to today´s ”Happy Thursday” at Rådmansgatan 7 – Lotta Agaton Shop. Unfortunately I won´t be there to welcome you since we are heading of for X-mas celebrations already, but two – best Lotta & Lina – thirds of this happy gang will be there to take good care of you. Happy shopping!

The store is open between 12-20.

X-mas & no time

Why is it that every year, no matter how much you think most preperations are done, you always end up with a list of zillion things to do and no time to do it? Feels like running through days and sleep right now and sooo looking forward to when it all slows down. Hope you all are better prepared than I apparently was, good luck with whatever race you have left!
