Biking





Biked almost 2 miles back and forth today. Lovely with a cool swim in the ocean, some picnic and rest on the beach. This art piece stands at www.rodasten.com/default.asp?menuaction=0&dot=0&sprak=english">Röda Sten. Unfortunately I don´t know the artists name.

Would want




A couple of weeks ago I met Kiddet in a second hand store in Gothenburg. I was strucked by the dress she wore. She told me it was a Henrik Vibskov dress, on sale at Scout. Yesterday me and T. took our bikes to the shop, and found the only one left. I did get it on me, but unfortunately it felt too tight :( Maybe I´ll comfort myself with one of these nice scarfs from The Porkshop instead (found through Drömma).

Going for a bus ride




Been unspired lately. But yesterday I started a really mood up project, so today I manage to carry out this project as well. My theme – play. Suppose to end up as a postcard. Here is Sandras nice one, and mine closer. Leave you with this, going to rent a bus and drive around six kids in the woods of Gästrikland a couple of days!

Toys



I´ve found lot of these (the lower pic) BRIO old wooden hanging things at flea markets, but so far I own only one. A dream would be a whole roof with them. Thank you Joanna for reminding me of these, they´ve been played with all day.

I´ll miss Jennys clothes



I´ve always like this kind of very simple pattern. This is my aunts jacket from the 60´s. The pattern reminds me of Jenny Hellströms prints. Unfortunately Jenny just announced she´s not going to pursue with her company.
