The love story (part II)
by Sofia - in Wedding ideas
Eilen jaoin kanssanne ensimmäisen osan Tukholman pienestä rakkaustarinastani. Tänään sitten osa kaksi…
Today I´m sharing you the rest of this little Stockholm love story if you´d like to take a look…
The morning of the wedding we strolled downstairs for breakfast. It was heavenly…
Crunchy cardamon scented granola, sweet berries, fresh buttery croissants and pain au chocolate. Omelettes and smoked salmon or bacon. Anything you wanted really. With freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee.

The love story
by Sofia - in Wedding ideas
Haluaisin jakaa kanssanne vähän kuvia ja pienen matkakertomuksen viikko sitten Tukholmassa vietetyistä häistä. Tai oikeastaan hetkistä ennen häitä. Tämä on rakkaustarina johon liitty ystäviä. Niitä joiden kanssa on elänyt jo puolet elämästään, osan kanssa paljon kauemminkin. Miten arvokas asia ihmisen elämässä voi olla ystäväporukka jossa kaikki ihmiset ovat kasvaneet teinivuosista omiin suuntiinsä, lähteneet maailmalle, palanneet takaisin, hankkineet perheitä ja silti aina ja aina vaan uudestaan ystävyyden side on niin vahva, että tuntuu kuin mikään ei pääsisi välillemme.
A little love story of friendship if you may in the form of photos from the wedding in Stockholm. Actually photos of the moments leading to the wedding really. Actual wedding photos were taken by a professional photographer. I was too busy celebrating the love in the air. We were 5 bridesmaids. One of us was the little sister of the groom, I remember babysitting her and prepping her for a french test when she was maybe ten ( this really made me realize how years have gone by). The rest of us form a very tight and old group of friends with the groom. We have been friends for at least half of our lives. Is that not just so special. These people are my true love story. And I was so excited to get to spend a whole weekend with them. Here goes…
Friday morning a friend of mine and I kissed our kids goodbye and took taxis to meet the airport. We contemplated going for coffee but thought a glass of champagne would be more appropriate. The perfect beginning.
We realized the plane had taken us to heaven…

Ihanaa viikonloppua!
by Sofia - in Random
Tahdoin vielä erikseen toivottaa teille oikein ihanaa viikonloppua!!
Kuvassa Hattara tepastelee kadulla vanhassa Tutu Du Monden mekossaan ja mummin Pariisin tuliaisina tuomissa tajuttoman hienoissa nilkkureissa. Ja tuo lausahdus, niin totta! Oletteko muuten koskaan huomanneet, että aina ne kaikkein upeimmat ja kiinnostavimmat ihmiset eivät välttämättä ole täydellisen kauniita. Itse ainakin ihailen ihmisiä joista huokuu karismaa, rauhallista itseluottamusta, ystävällisyyttä ja tietynlaista raikkautta. Jos ihminen itse näkee itsensä arvokkaana ( ja mikä olisi arvokkaampaa kuin muiden kunnioittaminen ja ystävällisyys) niin silloin me muutkin näemme sen.

I wanted to come by and wish you a lovely weekend! In this photo Cotton Candy is wearing the old but very much loved Tutu Du Monde dress and new ankle boots that my mom brought from Paris. I have a case of serious shoe envy right now! And what comes to the sentence/ aphorism in the photo… I think it´s very true! It´s what really matters. And I personally feel that how you see yourself is how others see you too. What qualities do you find attractive in others? I most often think that people who are confident, kind, helpful and respectful have good charisma. I´m drawn to “fresh” looking people, no matter what their style is. And I feel there is a big difference in being arrogant and having good self esteem. Kindness and respect towards others often is the difference between those two.
p.s. With a little hesitation ( I´m really eager to share all the lovely things I find but sometimes I might want to keep some little bits to myself) I wanted to share a link with you. It´s a link to one of my favorite blogs. This blog is perfect. The texts, the photos, the recipes. It will make you feel good. Anyway, I loved this post so much I wanted to share. I loved the birth story with the rose scent and I loved the thought of implementing strawberry field deja vu´s to little babies. It all just sounds wonderful and I thought that you might want to read it too.
p.p.s. How is it possible I have not read Mrs. Dalloway? Did you read it? It´s on my “summer reads” list now.
