Getting Inspired!

When there's a few days break and some well-deserved sun beams, 
anything can happen! It feels so good to soak yourself in the sun, doesn't it?!

After the weekend, and our sweet, sweet friend's very thorough birthday party, it was just beautiful to be at home, watch telly and eat well!
And today it was time to decorate, again!!
My favourite thing, yay!
An open mind and some stamina, and off I went!
I thought to check out the smaller boutiques of Southern Helsinki, and as you can guess, I saw all things super pretty!
I'm still looking for the perfect lamp to our bedroom though, let's see.
But beautiful and different ideas fly around in my head after today!

Oh, the blessed blue sky, so good to see you again!!



Carpets, anyone?





It smelled like spring, looked like spring, it's definitely coming, my friends!

Sweet Friday!

Today I had a rare day-off which was full of nice things!
Work was involved too but in a good and relaxed way!
But the first thing we noticed this morning with sweet hubby, was the sun!!
It shone right through the windows of our new, sweet home!
Everything looked so pretty, light and spacious, it was pure luxury to have the morning tea and paper in the natural light!
It feels like ages since we last saw even a glimpse of the sun. Must've been two weeks ago. And that's rough!
But today was different, I'm so glad about that!

So, first I headed to the Cable Factory.
I love that place, always have, always will. 
The industrial feel hits me big time! And to mix culture with it, is just perfect! Edgy, lofty spaces blend brilliantly with arts, music, dance, photography, you name it! All these also need big scenes to happen and to survive, so it's so clever to save these old factories. There are endless possibilities to make them alive again!


Someone was doing something about Berlin, and it just made me coo! Sweet, sweet Berlin, with one of my dearest friends over there for the whole spring! Oh, the amount of heartache!!


Afterwards a quickish lunch in Café Balzac! It's been a while since my last visit, but everything was as it should, and I enjoyed a goat's cheese salad with some tips for spring fashion!
I've pampered myself good this week: Yesterday's café with the fireplace, Café Balzac today..
Oh, moments like these, don't ever go away!


And after that off to my sweet Goddaughter's birthday party! 
This is my second Goddaughter out of three, oh, all the sweet girls!

This must be the cutest room there is!



We had a tea party...



...which was the second one for me this week! Lucky me!!


And a dance performance after that!


Now I'm all ready to turn in! A lovely day it was, I'm still seeing pink!
Have a happy weekend everyone!

Taking it easy!

Concert days are the best!
I don't do anything else but relax, concentrate and take a walk outside, sit down for a cup of tea and take a nap!
Sink in to my own thoughts and live in the moment.
I love it!!

Friendship!

Some goofing around took place Yesterday!
Aren't we sparkling?!

I'm still feeling so sweet from the lovely party, the cake, cupcakes and some gooood cups of tea, but mostly from my sweet girls making me feel blessed in every way possible!
Thank you for all of you!!

Have a good Tuesday everyone!

Birthday party!

My beautiful Goddaughter turned five years old, so it was time for a party!
She's adorable, such a cute and happy little girl!
My dear, dear friend, the mother, had made her usual magics in the kitchen so stomachs were singing hallelujah as well!

Oh, how I'd missed her!
Our lives have been so tightly around the new home I only now noticed how tightly!
This was such a refreshing encounter, I'm happy to go to sleep now!

Good night all dear you!




Thank You my dear!!!

Details!

Dear Friends!

I don't think I've ever waited the weekend to come this bad!
All the stress seems to have faded far away, and I've enjoyed our sweet new home and puzzled myself with the decorative details!
Oh, I know nothing better!!
And dear husband is so exited about the Olympics! My love, my ultimate sports freak! 
We have it good over here!

I'll let you in for a few glimpses!

brought this painting to my love from Brazil! The birds are martins and they play a role in our history together!
I found it from one of the ferias we went to and now it found a perfect place on the wall!
The porcelain birds are from Peroba, Fredrikinkatu, a Valentine's gift! All these make a perfect match together!


My treasures from Paris: 
Old Vogue covers from the 20's!
Oh, sweet Paris...


Sweet and colourful mess! Things will find their place eventually!


My two favourite operas!




Have a relaxing weekend everyone, also post-Valentine's!
Sweet thoughts to all of you!!

Old & New..

So we've said goodbye to sweet, dear old Töölö, and entered a dream of something new, exiting and very different!
Head has been filled with tiredness, work, planning, work, boxes, planning and then some more work, but we're overwhelmed with our new home which already feels like one!

It's been the craziest couple of weeks but I think maybe it's slowly starting to clear out!
I'll see you soon, love and light, my dears!


Here's the first peek of our post-Töölö lives!
