When at home
Many of us are stuck at home during these times and what else to do than making the best of it? At least for now there is no shortage of food so I´m trying out new recipes and setting the dinner table at little extra each night to make it special. Those beautiful linen cloths made by hand by my grandmother that I so rarely use because I´m afraid to stain them are coming out! And since Spring is already here there are plenty of snowdrops in the garden that are coming inside in small vases everywhere. A little sprinkle to a heavy situation is (if we can and are well) what we need.

Last days of Fall
Fall is almost so beautiful it hurts right now. Wouldn’t mind at all making a setting like this next weekend to make sure to enjoy it all as much as possible before everything turns grey.

Moreno California
Some pics from yesterday´s lovely breakfast for Moreno California. Congratulations and good luck to my sweet friend Jennie Hammar to the launch of her new brand starting with three scented candles: Silverlake, Point Dume (my favorite) and Joshua Tree. Having creative friends is the best inspiration & an added value is that my home now smells absolutely wonderful. You can see more here and buy the candles here. Good luck Jennie!

Dream like there where poppies everywhere…
Our Food Stories have done it again….please take me to this place and setting right now….
Celebration
Ok – will not show any more pink for a while after this but have to show more of this pretty feature that was briefly viewed in the monthly list. As so often I´m once again inspired by the lovely work of Our Food Stories. You can see it all here.
February: On my mind
It´s been a while since the last monthly list but I still very much like the concept, both thinking of my own and reading other´s so here we go:
Travel: Since the kids have been and still are home with a bad cold we have been watching a lot of movies. One of them – Narnia – is shot in New Zealand and it just reminds me again of how beautiful it looks. Really want to go there and to Australia. It sure is a long flight but the reward seems to be worth it a million times. When searching for travels I scrolled by these dreamy shots by Paul Hoi , capturing New Zealand with a camera modified for full spectrum infrared. You can see more here.

Shoes: Following the winds of pink and on the wishlist for next week´s birthday are these ones.

Flower: Longing for wild flowers…Walking, exploring and making my own bouquet.

Outfit: Yes please, suit up! A good suit with some colorful details. My pink sneakers would be great for this one too. I might go for looking like a big bubble gum all Spring long.

Bedroom: I often have to search for a really long time to even find pictures I haven´t seen before and today was one of those days when looking for bedroom inspiration. This one however was new to me and fits my craving for color really well.

Office: This home office is from a home that was for sale a while ago and I always get cravings when seeing the use of books like this. Extra points for the desk in the middle of the room.

Words: Always invest time and energy in any relationship. Love these words as well though as true friendship is also about being there when times are low, confused or on wrong track. It can´t only be one person on that low end the whole time but as long as it goes both ways that´s an important thing too.
Pic via.
Food: I´m not much for cakes but next week calls for at least a little celebration as my big…..4….0…is coming up. That plus our daughter´s 8th birthday a few days later. Cake x 2 it is!

Book: After cake comes eating healthy. Getting better at it by the year but still have a lot of improvements to make. Hopefully this book will lend a helping hand.

Sustainable pick: It drives me crazy that it´s so hard to find candles that are environmental friendly and not damaging to your health. Every night I have far too many candles around the house and therefor it´s extra important to make sure that they are not the bad version. Things would be so much easier if there where no options of the ”paraffin” kind but if you look around it´s actually really hard to find ”stearin” or ”soy wax”candles in a normal grocery store. Most likely because they are more expensive. But in cases like this I would much rather pay more and use less to make sure it´s not a bad choice. Trendenser put together a good summary that you can read here on paraffin versus stearin (in Swedish but maybe use google translate if needed). In addition, since 2015 it´s become more difficult to recycle the metallic cup the candle comes in. Since then it´s prohibited to put it in the metall bin and it´s different for wherever you live where these go (sometimes a separate bin). Furthermore, you need to separate the little round holder from the cup. This because the holder is made of iron and the cup of aluminum and when being recycled doesn’t go in the same place. So you see, things could be made so much clearer and better. I realize there are probably many reasons & hurdles for it not being better already but please please let´s us see a better solution for this soon.

Music: Have just started listening to Sarah Klang´s debut album released Feb 9th and it sounds really promising. You can check it out here.

Mary Lennox by Ruby Barber
So in love with the work of Mary Lennox studio. Founded by Ruby Barber and based in Berlin I found her work through the amazing botanical styling she is doing for Our Food Stories and there is definitely more to see. Check out her webpage here and her Instagram here.
