The park around the corner.

I found the perfect stub for jewelry photos! I was feeling a bit down yesterday and went for a stroll with my camera. Taking pictures always make me happy. The lovely light in the park helped a lot too.
Some of the jewelry above is available in my Etsy shop.

Magnolia dreams

Gosh, how I love magnolia!
I have loved it since I was a little girl and my late grandma used a pefume with the name Magnolia. When she died I got the bottle and I used to open it and smell, but never use it because I didn't want it to run out. I've been searching for that perfume ever since, but no luck yet.
Anyway, magnolia trees are special to me. I dream of having a big garden with lots of different kinds of magnolia. Dark purple or the softest of pink. Just laying underneath them while they bloom. I could disappear in the beauty!

Small treasures in my window.

Things I have found on flea markets, at the beach, on the ground, in shops long ago or got in present from loved ones. The silver plate is from a second hand shop and the wood plate is made by my uncle when he was a little boy. They lie there in my window behind me and make me happy every time I see them.

Beauty as I know it. Part two.

Today I threw away the dying tulips from my kitchen table, but before I could do that I had to phograph them because they were so beautiful.
Fresh tulips is one thing; so crisp and vibrant. But in that moment when they have passed the fresh stage they look so dramatic!
They go through a metamorphosis and become something else entirely.
To me that's the most interesting part. Of course, I love tulips when they are alive (and kicking?), that's why I buy them in the first place, but there's beauty in the transition too.
Sometimes I think people are too fast to throw away without seeing the beauty in the change.
This is how I see it. This is beauty to me.

Four dimensions

My Four dimensions pendant looks different in every angle. And the bead in the red, lime and purple one is loose and can be moved around! Combining beauty and play in one sculptural piece of jewelry.
If you would like to see more: pop over to my Etsy shop.
And happy friday to you all!

The perfect sunday.

My great friends A and J visited David and me over this weekend. Spent the days walking around in the city, taking breaks for coffee, eating good food, watching films and just sitting around the table talking.
On sunday we went to a big flee market where I bought a skirt, a beautiful glass bottle and  an old jigsaw puzzle. Right away when we got home we started with the puzzle. I love these old ones with irregular pieces and no picture that shows what the finished picture should look like.

Minty and bright red.

I have a mint coloured kitchen now. Our apartment is a maze of boxes and furniture at the moment but in a week or so everything should be all done. 

It feels lovely to have a place together. Me ad my guy. 

I will update more regularly soon, when everything is back to normal.

Las Palmas

This is not how I imagined Las Palmas.
Didn't know it was located in Gothenburg, Sweden either...
