1001 night

Saw this complete volume of 1001 Night for sale at Lauritz.com. Bjørn Wiinblad is the genius behind the gorgeous book covers, that would infuse life to any old & dull book shelve.

Invitation fit for a king

It was a looooooong process deciding on how our wedding invitations were going to look like. The end result turned out more expensive than I had hoped, but I defiantly think it was worth it.

The value of sentiment

Bought this neat looking christmas-ornement-tree-hanger from IKEA. The selected ornements hanging have great sentimental value. The white paper cuts are inheritance from Anna. Santa Claus were a handmade gift from my nephew, Hákun. The gold snowflake a gift from Kristjan many years ago. The mushroom I bought on our romantic getaway in Berlin and I could go on and on and on and on....

Green christmas

I´m so into these DIY wine bottle lights and imagine that it would look great with a whole group of bottles in different hues and sizes on my credenza.

Eco ornaments

These DIY origami christmas ornaments by domesticali are too cute! Look easy enough to make and very eco friendly indeed.

So yesterday I copy pasted a code for another layout for my blog...It looked ok but I wasn´t loving it, so I changed it back. OMG what a hassel...turnes out that the code that I tried deleted my scandinavian blogroll, my counter and all editional html code that I´ve added. Now that I´m writing a new post, there is no title box. Does anyone know how to fix it? Her are some pictures from my last visit to the Faroe Islands.

Love this movie with super animation graphical moments.

My first pumpkin lantern and possibly last

Before rushing off to the Faroes to see my beloved grandfather one last time, I made my first ever carved pumpkin. Carving your own pumpkin alone...not that funny - and they smell strange as well. I had it all planned in my little knowing faroese head, that I could use the excess stuff to make soup and no one has told me about the fungus factor in a warm living room. Ohhh well my pumpkin looked great for at least two days :o)

OMG! Beauty Queens' Reaction Shots

Love these different reactions from beauty pageants

Cozy christmas Pantry

Our pantry should have christmas lights hanging all year around.

Bow No1
Bow No2
Bow No3
I find bows to be fascinating. When I lived in Honduras there was a store in a mall with only one "product" which was wrapped your present and there they made the most outrages bows I´ve ever seen. Here´s a funny video of how to make a bow and here´s a more chic diy bow instructiuon.

Trash chic

I bought this lovely paper bin at Granit at my last Malmö trip.

Room with a view and great chairs

Whilst I was home in the Faroes, my sister Tóra bought these tree delights by Wegner. My mother insists that they stay in here living room, because Tóra lives in a small apartment. Personally I think the chairs fit well in my parents cosy living room.

Lenôtre macaroons and old friends

Rannvá is one of my dearest friend. We have known each other since we were five years old and I love the fact that we have an ever groving strong and profound friendship. She´s expecting here second child within this month and I´m so exited for her ♥ Last night the two of us had a cosy-christmas-french-macaroon-magazine-night. I had gathered all my noel magazines, we listened to christmas music and ate Lenôtre macaroons plus some additional goodies.

I HEART BERLIN

We had a LOVELY weekend in Berlin in a penthouse suite. We walked around in our dressing gowns and enjoyed the view of the city drinking sparkling wine. Kristjan morning gift to me was a Nikon D5000 – very nice!
