En kopp choklad? ~ A cup of chocolate, anyone?

Efter en helg med bara en massa regn känner man sig aningen 'blå' i sinnet. 

Hoppas solen dyker upp snart!

Jo, jag tror minsann att solen ska titta fram idag. Tjoho☺

***

After a weekend with rain, pouring rain - plenty of it too , I feel a bit 'blue'.

Hope the sun will appear soon!

I'm pretty sure it'll show up today. Woohoo☺

A very close friend of mine gave me a blue cup'n'saucer many years ago.

It's perfect for hot chocolate. A real treasure.

Every time I use it I think of my friend and our fun and crazy time together!

The weekend's weather was perfect for hot chocolate!

Lots of it. Yum☺

You can never have too many candles...

A place where I can relax.

Min blåa kopp är så god att dricka varm choklad ur. Fick den på 90-talet av en väldigt god vän. 

Varje gång jag dricker ur koppen. tänker jag på henne och våra upptåg 

 på folkhögskolan i norrland där vi gick Fritidsledarlinjen tillsammans. 

Denna helgen hade perfekt varm chokladväder! Mums☺

Det var så himla regnigt och ruggigt.

Kram♥

Bland metall och trä

...står mina föräldrars bröllopsfoto från 1966.

De ser så unga ut. I augusti 2006 skulle de ha firat 40 årig bröllopsdag, men pappa avled hastigt och oväntat en månad innan de kunde fira sin högtidsdag tillsammans. Livet är orättvist ibland. De fick i alla fall 43 lyckliga år tillsammans. Sedan att Pappa dog två månader innan min förstfödde Jonah kom till världen gör saken inte lättare... Tack och lov att jag har många fina minnen. och det har min Mamma med.

My parents wedding photo from 1966 is mixed in with metal tins and wood items in my kitchen area.

They look so young. They would have celebrated 40 years as married in 2006, but my dad suddenly passed away very unexpectedly a month before that. so they couldn't celebrate their anniversary together. Life is unfair sometimes. At least they got 43 happy years together. The fact that my dad died two month before our Jonah was born, doesn't make it any easier either... Luckily, I'm blessed with beautiful memories. and so is my my mother.

Pink Saturday

Det är 'rosa lördag' hos Beverly. så idag handlar mitt inlägg om min lilla prinsessa som älskar att gå omkring i rosa klänningar. titta på Dora The Explorer. leka med tåg och springa runt och härja med storebror.

It's Pink Saturday at Beverly's.

This is my pink post.

Princess Lily loves her pink dresses. is a Dora the Explorer fan. enjoys playing with trains and running around and playing with her big brother Jonah. She's such a little princess girl - even though she's a tomboy at heart ☺

Have a lovely Saturday!

Aaahhh, the creaminess

I love this tablecloth. I purchased it on eBay many years ago and along with it six napkins with the same beautiful Battenburg lace. Aaahhh, the creaminess - the cream plates and the tablecloth together - so yummy! I didn't even bother iron the tablecloth. I like it just the way it is, freshly laundered and straight on top of my rustic farm table. 

Oops, I just noticed I didn't use any glassware in this tablescape. I was probably so blown-away by the look of the table so I forgot lol. Anyway, next time I'll remember!!

See you later on this week!

Hugs♥... and thank you for visiting! 

A big welcome to my new followers☺

Jag gillar verkligen denna spetsduk. Köpte den på eBay för många år sedan tillsammans med sex stycken tygservetter med samma underbara spets - Battenburg spets. Hela dukningen är så härligt gräddvit. Duk, servetter och tallrikarna - de kompletterar verkligen varandra. Jag strök inte ens duken innan jag lade den på bordet. Tycker den är snyggast som den är, nytvättad och ostuken på mitt rustika lantbord. 

Hoppsan, upptäckte precis att jag inte ställt fram några glas... Jag måste ha blivit så nöjd med dukningen att jag alldeles glömde bort dem hihi. Nästa gång kommer jag förhoppningsvis ihåg!!

Vi ses senare i veckan!

Kram♥... och tack för att ni tittar in här!
