Summer, really?

These past few days have been absolutely too cold for the sweet and light month of May!
I'd demand my money back if the real summer wouldn't still be ahead. How bizarre is it that the temperature can drop twenty degrees??
Last weekend with the lovely picnics seems like ages ago, today I wore a hat and a heavy coat, and it certainly wasn't too much!

Let's hope for serious sunshine starting tomorrow!

Good night my friends!

Double picnics and sunshine!

The past weekend Helsinki was full of events: there was Kumpulan Kyläjuhlat and Siivouspäivä plus Maailma Kylässä-festival, so loads of flea markets and live music!
I had big plans of attending the flea market in Kumpula, but then sweet husband went on and bought a lawnmower and we ended up trimming our garden!
It was so sweet, we couldn't stop! 
I got my own little sickle and was using that under the berry bushes while husband was pushing around the bigger thing!
The sun was shining, really pampering us!

So I skipped all flea markets and later on we went to our dear friend's birthday-picnic!
Yummy and sweet, again so sunny!
This took place in Tähtitorninmäki, which offered us beautiful views over Helsinki!





At the same time there was another picnic happening in Tervasaari, which I joined a little later!
The gang from the tour were almost all there!
Lots of hugging and laughing and ofcourse pictures with attitude...




Let's have a good week everyone, hugs!

Yard sales!

Last weekend myself, my Mother and my handsome nephew went to the traditional Puu-Vallila yard sales.
I've shared this event with you before, it's such a nice happening!
All the picturesque gardens turn into flea markets, there's things for kids to do, and you can buy soup, sausages, coffee and cakes too!

It was a beautiful day with sunshine, we wandered around for a good while!






Being very street cred with my sister's kid, right?!
I'm wearing my supercomfy overalls which I looove!
Got it from Asos las year, it's velvet, tie-dyed, and so easy to wear!






I took so many pictures, it's so beautiful there, so much details and fun things to shoot!
The last pic is of me through the little fella's eyes:


Such a fun day it was!!

At Work...

It's a definitive sign of the approaching summer when the sun is shining, the temperature starts rising, and we're sitting indoors recording!

The concert season has come to its' end, but the season continues with a huge amount of concentration with well-deserved breaks! Of which we know how to enjoy: being outdoors!
Oh how heavenly the sun feels! 


Cherry blossoms and overalls, a guarantee of a good day!



...and indoors...



At lunch break:


The spring sky as its' bluest!

The Perfect Brunch!

What do you get when you put ten dazzling ladies together around a table full of goodies?
A perfect Saturday brunch!
So perfect indeed that ten (!!) hours later some of us were still here..! That's what I call a brunch very thorough!
Oh, how friendship is sweet, wouldn't change these girls for anything!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, I'm still smiling!


Got this beautiful rose in the cutest bucket with matching garden gloves, garden scissors, hand cream, sun block AND a bottle of sparkling rosé, ofcourse! Plus the hat!
I'll be a real Lady of the garden that's for sure! A happy one!






A true heartthrob: George the pudel, in the arms of his beautiful owner!
Definitely one of the cutest creatures I've ever seen!



And last, Happy Mother's Day to all Moms and Moms-to-be!
I got to cuddle mine today, the best one there is!

Vappu-fun!

The biggest festivities of spring went by like a wihrlwind with both work and play on the schedule.
But the most fun took place on the eve of vappu in Vallila: Vapputanssit!
A traditional and very nostalgic dance-event in a park surrounded with beautiful old wooden houses.
There was a live band, Vallilan Tango, who played foxtrots and tangos so wonderfully my face was in a constant smile! All the time!
It was the 10th time already! I've known about the event but somehow we've never went, the weather's been bad or something, a very lame excuse anyway!
We danced away like there was no tomorrow, oh it was so much fun!!





On May 1st I had a concert to play myself and after that rushed straight to meet the girls! Asap!
This is our tradition and I love it!
Lots of good food, sparkling, talk, smiles, all the things that keep us alive!
Hooray!




Happy Sunday everyone!
