A new week!

Good Morning my friends, long time no see!
And that's because we're moving!!!
And I'm SUPER exited!!

Everything happened so fast a week ago at the 12th of day of Christmas-brunch, and since then I've been going through our stuff in the attic and basement, planning, decorating, thinking about flea markets, work(!!!!), and still a little more decorating on top of all!

We're not moving far, our new home is still a tram ride away but we have our own garden! With one apple tree!
I feel it in my guts this is one of the best things ever in our lives, and I can't wait to get settled in! 

But before that there's still a lot to do.
It's amazing how much stuff gathers up. REALLY. 
I must get a whole new take on this matter. 
To really think do I need this or that if I see something nice.
But at the same time it's very cleansing to go through everything. It's like going through you're life the same time.
And it feels so good to clean yourself up from all those piles of unnecessary things! 
Very Feng Shui!

I hope you're all fine and well, I have not forgotten about you!!

Here's how we left things before the new home came along!
Loppiaisbrunssi at Restaurant Sunn in Senaatintori! Super delicious!!

Master Birger!!



Yesterday I drove to Tapiola, to EMMA, 
Espoo Museum of Modern Art, to see the exhibition of Birger Kaipiainen.
I totally sign everything all the wisemen ever said about art touching the soul, it's power to move, heal, and shine.
This exhibition was full of all that to me, I enjoyed every second of the two hours I spent there, and couldn't even think about entering the other exhibitions that were available. 
I didn't want anything to disturb the beautiful, melancholic feeling I drowned myself in while watching his work!

The surfaces of the ceramic plates and reliefs are so rich, so lively with strong colours, pearls and little pieces of mirrors. The beautiful wallpaper, Kiurujen Yö, in it's mysterious, dark blue shades, the clocks you find in several works all pointing at 12.15, or 00.15, either way, the whole fantasy world he creates is amazing.
I felt like I wanted to jump in the middle of the flowers, the golden and pearly shades, the whole fairytale scene!
And then felt a little sad thinking how he himself must've felt. 
Did he want to escape something? 







Go and have a wonderful experience, if you haven't yet! 
It's there until 12.1.2014.

First Days of 2014!

So, it's 2014! 
I can't believe how time flies!! I think it's best not to stare at the any kind of numbers, what matters the most is the present, and we should make the best of it! This is a good New Year's resolution!

We had a fun evening, dinner and close ones at our place, sweet!


Sweet Helsinki looked like this today:



Café Fleuriste, AGAIN!
And Marrakesh Mint, mmmmh!



The reason for such a sudden re-visit was this little place next door:


Amazing finds, amazing prizes!
Go, go, hurry up!! They've got a sale downstairs, now it's time to act!
January is filled with sales, but this is my favourite address to make quality-finds in timeless designs, works every time!
