Good bye Blogspot





I guess it won't last for long, that fact that we can play like this together. They are growing
way too fast. Left overs from the Mr M-book.


This is the last post I do here at Blogspot, at least for a while (if the technical goes as planned).
The new site is suppose to appear on the web very very soon. You can still use your old links though,
and the same address as well if you want. Because If you type this blogspot address in the address
bar you’ll be directed to the new site automatically further on. It has been a joy,
thank you and good bye Blogspot.

I hope you will enjoy the new.

Mimi's Circus, premiere.

Was suppose to continue blog about Jenny's place today, but I kind of want
to save it for the new blog that hopefully will be ready very soon.
Instead a post about my constant companions these cold winter days, my
new boats - Beak boots. Expensive, but indeed a good buy.

Privileged I am. Today I had the pleasure to visit two very inspiring homes, and very nice people.
One of them, illustrator Jenny Wilk's. This is Jenny's atelier, located in a wing of the old house.

Imagine a whole wall with photo booth photos, would be so nice. This Ebay seller has a lot.
I did something like a start of a wall like that once, but in colored illustrations.

Working on a new blog look, hope to have it ready very soon, impatient.

Sponsor giveaway





This week bring you a giveaway from Portugal - a whole packge of goodies from loja de estar:

"In a quiet town near the sea there will be a cozy, warm and colorful place where you
will feel at home. This space exists only in the future. A future dreamed by Sandra and
Sílvia, two Portuguese girls who imagined and are creating ‘loja de estar’: a ‘living store’
as a shop where more than buying things you can stay and have a good time. Meanwhile,
the idea of this place is already in everyone’s houses all over the world at lojadestar.com,
an online shop for contemporary living.

Today loja de estar is celebrating one year of existence and there couldn’t be such a perfect
opportunity to spread all the things we treasure the most: warmth, comfort, beauty and seeds
for projects, dreams and life. So, ‘loja de estar’ is giving away a small package to a fine little
day reader. In this package you can find:

- warm and comfortable handmade embroidered slippers
- a cooling in summer and warm in the winter t-shirt made of bamboo
- a small purse made of vintage Russian scarves
- a small purse made with vintage handmade embroidery skirts
- a garden ready to grow inside a little eggling

If you like loja de estar, subscribe the newsletter and receive all the fresh and first hand news."

To enter, just leave a comment in this post. The winner will be chosen by a random number
service
and announced Friday, November 19.


Good luck everyone!

Top painting, bought at the Liljevalchs art sale - every piece was sold for a certain (low) price, 199,90 kr.
No painting was signed, you wasn't suppose to know who the artist was. But now I know who made
it, thanks to a comment from Sara - it was her! I should have known, she's the greatest.

The stripes - window shade.

The paintings in the stair hall way.
Aidas acrobat friend from Circus Cirkör helped her to put up the top ones.
