New pieces

Dear Girls,
I found a wonderful piece to decorate my wall with. I found this wooden panel in a small interior shop. it was full of little
treasures and atmosphere.
These days I am rather busy with work, christmas shopping (or more, thinking what to buy...) and trying not to get sick with all these things going around. Tomorrow we go for the flu vaccin for my child, not so much fun...


I hope you are all enjoying your homes with these cold, dark days.

wicker basket and christmas preparations

Dear girls,
It's been awhile since I blogged, but oh, how many things are going on. I have started to prepare the christmas gifts, because I will not, can not, run a few days before Christmas like a mad women to quickly buy a gift.... I need time, inspiration and more time. So, I am proud to say that I am halfway, almost there.
I have painted recently an old wine box, which looked too useful to toss out, so instead, I painted it with a grey layer and sometimes put cutlery or lemons in it. I think it looks lovely.


Now, for the rest of my household, things are getting messy and I am finding ribbons, fabric, laundry everywhere, so I am seriously tidying here, enough to do!!
Do you like the wicker basket I found? I haven't made up my mind to use it indoors or outdoors....mmmm.....

wish you all a great weekend!!

A curl goes a long way

I was browsing through my 1940's hairstyles book, and I was inspired by the elegant and feminine looks. I just love to wear my hair straight, it takes some blowdrying, but okay. My own hair is wavy and looks a little more wild....
Sometimes I use hot rollers to create an elegant look, and I love that too, you feel like another woman with your hair done well put. Unfortunately, I don't always have the time, and we don't see much of these styles today anymore, even though it looks so nice.

Let Veronica Lake and Rita Hayworth inspire you...
