Home Sweet Home


For years I have been looking for artificial pussy willow sprigs - and finally, the other day when I went in to the store Bed Bath and Table, there they were! We always used to bring pussy willows indoors when I grew up. Every Spring we had them in a vase in the kitchen. For me, that was Spring!

Today when I had some spare time between buses, I went and had a look at the news agency and finally the February issue of Country Living had arrived. Yeah, February issue... Normally we are only one month behind on the imported British magazines, but this year it's been ridiculous. We are almost in April and the January issues are still on the shelves. Anyway, that wasn't what I was going to write about. Got a bit sidetracked...


Look at magazine cover and the the pussy willow stems! 
It feels like I'm on the right track with my Spring decor this year.
I just love the look of the simplicity of nature's beauty.

Hope you all will have a lovely Thursday.
Did I mention it's the last day of the school week - and school term?!
Wooohoo, the Easter holidays are nearly here!

Swedish Corner Down Under Christmas Home

The school holidays are well and truly on their way to the finishing line. The new school year starts on Monday the 22nd here in south-east Queensland. We've had a very relaxing Summer/Christmas holiday. I haven't been blogging much here, mainly at Swe-Aussie Xmas, my Christmas blog.

Welcome to our Swedish Corner Down Under Christmas home!


Let's start in the lounge room..

Candles and wreaths


Red and white Christmas



Poinsettias at the top making the furniture look amazingly festive

Lots of candle holders everywhere...



Sure is the most wonderful time of the year!

God Helg - Happy Weekend,
a phrase used during Christmas/New Years


Our Yuletide Bed Room


I just adore our red and white Christmas bedroom with snowflakes, cute Christmas jumpers and cozy cushions.


God Jul

Merry Christmas in Swedish

Happy Yule





Posted this photo on my Instagram. I had just purchased a red and white curtain, and not knowing where to use it, I simply draped it over the bed for a festive yet subtle country look... ♥



As a tradition, Swedes don't remove the Christmas decorations until 20 days after Christmas, but I usually keep it up much longer as I enjoy it so immensely... ♥ I can't get enough of the red, I love the red everywhere and I love the warmth - even if it's 36°c/97°F outdoors. I love the way the Christmas decor makes me feel in the heart!

- Hope you like my home as much as I do. 
Thank you for stopping by ♥

Our Christmas home

Hi all,
I thought I'd pop in and say hello... I haven't been blogging much lately, not here at Swedish Corner Down Under anyway. I have been focusing on my Christmas blog, Swe-Aussie Xmas, during the Christmas period. Here are a few photos from our Christmas home ♥












Hope you enjoyed this short tour... ♥
Make sure you visit my Swedish Corner Down Under again soon!
