Outdoor view - in the middle of Winter


Welcome to our home!

This is our front door entrance area. 

We are lucky we are not next to the road. 
We have a small drive way up to our little house.
Our home is not very small - a normal Australian 3 bedroom brick home.

 
A few different plants in our stone garden... a money tree, a couple of yucca palms 
and a hot pink plant, which we call Lily's plant - because it's pink!
 

Not sure the name of it,
'Lily's plant' is good enough for me lol


Plants are lush and green after all the rain.


Our dream is to have a big wooden deck out here.


Beautiful blue sky - not a cloud in sight


The brick would look lovely rendered and with beautiful wooden windows.
*dreaming*



The yucca palms grow so quickly,
getting taller by the minute.



So nice with a beautiful sunny day after all our rainy days...
Today, we had a top of 20°C/68°F.
Not bad for a winter's day!

Wishing you all a really awesome day - wherever you are☺

Mixed blue enamel

Finally Friday here! It feels like it's been raining, more or less, every day since school started after the holidays. Sure, we've had beautiful sunshine too... but mostly rain. Normally, our Australian winters are dry and sunny.

When the kids are watching a movie or are asleep, I'm able to potter around the house - doing what I like the most - change the decor around a bit. Sometimes I go blind and don't realise what treasures I have here, treasures which might be tucked away in a cupboard or up on a shelf.

I love blue enamelware. Even though I try to incorporate more white in my kitchen, I have to be honest to myself - I'm a blue enamelware girl, no doubt about it!


Mixed blue enamelware!


Blue and chippy


An European mix of blue goodness.


Beautiful shades of blue


Blue, blue... and more blue! 

 

My kitchen corner,
Earthy tiles, wood and enamel.


Heavenly blue


Tea pot from Arabia, Finland.
Love the Scandinavian pattern. 


Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend♥

Seven years has passed...

and I still miss you every day. 
I can feel your presence here sometimes. 
It's a comforting feeling.


My handsome dad.


A silver fox... 


Always in my heart,
making me crack up laughing☺


Today I'll light the candle and smile about our memories,
maybe you'll sit next to me smiling too?!

Morning sun

Beautiful morning sun peeking through the window.


A row of Swedish Dala horses in the sun.

 
Straw angels looking very angelic in the bright light

It's lovely when the morning sun is peeking through the window,
making the room nice and bright.

It's time for school again - term 3.
First day back after the Winter holidays.

Hope you all have a great week with lots of sunshine ☺

The second week of the school holidays is almost at its end

The week started wet and the rain was poring down! The garden was loving it of course, but I have a feel the kids would have loved to hang out in the park for a while... so we did for a little bit. The kids had a blast riding their scooters and bikes, splashing dirt up their shirts. Hubby and I shot some hoops.


On Monday it's time to go back to school again. 
Two weeks of Winter holidays sure went quickly.

Only 11 weeks until the next holiday in September
- another chance to create memories!

Red blue n white

Lots of red, blue and white in Blog land lately... ☺
My tribute to the 4th of July Celebrations is my kitchen corner.


All the Swedish dolls and may poles have disappeared, 
but they'll resurface next year... ☺
If you missed my Swedish Midsummer decor - you can find it here!



Hope you all have a great weekend♥
