Party in the Garden!

I've been congratulating myself and sweet husband for throwing a little party for 55 people!!

First time ever!

There was enough food & drinks, endless sunshine just like we ordererd, and lots of happy faces!

What more can you ask for? It was just perfect!

I had very little time to take hardly any pictures, I was too busy in the kitchen!

I'd started already well in advance: e.g. rolled 503 meatballs on the day before!

Didn't get a picture when the table was just set, boohoo, this will have to do.

It was very pretty!

Live music, ofcourse!!

Such a fun and beautiful day it was, thank you everyone who came and made it all happen!!

We'll remember this forever!

Ideas!

Here's something pretty I did!

Maybe it'll give you an inspiration!

Old photos I've been collecting from flea markets...

...turning into the prettiest gift cards!

...or refrigerator magnets!

The party season always speeds up during the summer, and we're having a garden party of our own soon!

First one ever, I'm very exited!

So I thought instead of balloons and such I made these pretty pennants!

I bought beautiful different types of papers from Tiger, they look really nice!

And they're almost ready!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

New blouse!

Last weekend was filled with festivities!

Graduation day for the brave students plus two lovely birthday parties!

It's been a while since my last shopping spree which quite frankly amazes me a little!

I know the reason: since we moved it's been all about decoration and home stuff but now I thought I want something new for all the many parties!

Here's what I found!

This beautiful blouse is from H&M, I was really positively surprised to find such a pearl!

Love the shape, the material and the neckline!

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!
