Right now my garden is blooming - the apple trees a little longer and the lilacs have just started to bloom and send a scent off all over. just love it.

tamed nature - a wreath for the outdoor and for christmas

Every year so many wreath are made to welcome your guest at the door steps. Wreath take so many forms, colors and designs. These wreath are made about 7 years ago, still looking good - if made today the styling might have been different and the wreath less symetrik.

ikea ps 2014

     

IKEAs PS collection is alway something to wait for and soon there will be several news from IKEA PS 2014 near you. (In Denmark the 25 april.) Above you see some of my favorites - a balance bench I have to have for the garden for all the balancing kids. The bench immediately gave me a feeling of something I knew, it was the back of the chair, same design as the handle of a kick sledge, which is an ancient Scandinavian means of transport. :)
The garden table I would love to have, it is easy to fold and I will use it inside and outside, when guest are around.

IKEA sees this collection for people and homes in motion

weekend fun

We have too many apples, even if we give to friends and family. So now we started our own little Apple juice farm. The taste of freshly pressed apples is amazing and is plenty reward for the hard work of collecting, cutting and squeezing.

happy camper - diy

Quick DIY - make an easy "tent" for the kids to play in.
We used 2 blankets, a laundry cord and clothespins to hold the blankets in the top and stones to hold the blanket in the right angle.

flower bouquet made of meadow flowers

If I was to marrie once again - this would be my bouquet. Natural beauty when it is best.

swifty for spring

Well spring is not around corner - but when we get there, I would love to take rides on one of these. (get your own :)

strawberry fields forever

Summertime is around the corner and it's time for holiday — spending a lot more time with the family, picking strawberries and enjoy some slow living. Happy summer.

memories

As a child in the 1970 I loved these sandals for summer - I wore them when swimming(especially at the rocky beaches in France and Croatia and good for avoiding sea ​​urchins) or just for walking - just loved them. My mom bought them in the great shop Nørregaard. (take a closer look)

taga two in one

If I was a mother to be, I would seriously consider buying a stroller like this,
that you can convert into a bike pretty easy.
I am sure that it works well in the city.

fun camping

Why does a tent have to be green or blue, when you can be a happy camper with a crafty tent like this?
Have a great weekend.

findings from nature

My kids love to collect things they find, it could be a stone, a branch, a plastic lid, feathers and/or a shell, I love it but some times it is hard to find a place for them all — but to use a feather in an arty mobile or have a beautiful box like this to display your feathers and keep your finds, is an idea I love.  

arboretet

The other day I went to a place called Arboretet - which means "a place with threes" and that it is indeed. We all fell in love with this birch its colors and the way that you can remove bark and reveal a new layer and new colors. We will for sure come back when the threes bloom. (Arboretet)

christina hamilton and traditional saddlery techniques

Designer Christina Hamilton has with a background in saddlery combined traditional saddlery techniques with the art of making bags - love the one that combine a baby seat and bags for the bike.. (via)
