Rauhallista joulua

by Sofia   -   in Random

Täällä riisipuuro hautuu liedellä ja joulupullat, piparit, kuusi ja hyasintit tuosuvat ilmassa. Kynttilät palavat ja joululaulut luovat tunnelmaa. Joulusauna saunottiin jo aaton aattona ja illalla ensimmäisistä paketeista paljastui kauniisti kuvitetut kirjat ja uudet yöpaidat. Sitten käperyttiin puhtaisiin lakanoihin nukkumaan odottavaa unta. Maa on lumipeitteestä valkoinen ja tunnelma kaunis ja rauhallinen. Lattemamman lattea hunnuttaa piparimauste ja vatsanpohjassa tuntuu se ihana jouluaattoaamun innostus ja rauha. Mikään ei ehkä ole täydellistä, mutta kaikki on valmista. Joulu saa tulla!

Ihanaa rauhallista ja tunnelmallista joulunaikaa!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas in the girls room vol. 2

by Sofia   -   in Blog collaboration  Good things for kids  Interior design

I think I prefer the dollhouse in the Christmas time. All dressed up in greenery and wreaths. It just looks so festive and cozy. I must come up with some summer flowers for the balcony to make it prettier for the rest of the year. Here are the rest of the pictures from the girls room. Last Christmas here and last months they are sharing a room. I wonder if they will start wondering to each others beds at night in the new house?

Christmas in the girls room

The festive feeling is rising more and more each day. The dollhouse is in it´s Christmas attire and I managed to organise the girls room nice and tidy for the holidays. The little wooden tree from my childhood is up and there are hyacinths to give a lovely scent to their room. The Christmas calendar we have had for years is also in it´s place. The best part of the whole room are the gorgeous new sheets we got from V´lody Oriental, designed by the lovely ladies of Prologue. They are just spot on perfect for us! And as I mentioned earlier they will be even more so in the new rooms matching the girls colour schemes perfectly.

I love waking up in new pyjamas and in fresh bedding for Christmas. The house has the wonderful scent of clean mixed with baking. As I have probably mentioned many times we celebrate Christmas in Finland on the 24th ( and the 25 th and 26 th too). So it has become a tradition for us to give the girls new nighties or pj´s and new books already on the 23rd so they can wake up in the morning in new sleepwear and have it on for a long morning of eating rice porridge & saffron buns, reading new books and watching the snowman whilst the fire is going. This year they have wonderful new bedding too. I think Christmas needs freshly ironed sheets, it deserves it. For that great night´s sleep. 

Here they are…

This old fashioned piggy bank is just perfect and it has a key too like in our childhood. If you loose it I guess you´ll have to break the bank. It would be a great gift for that special someone who likes saving their allows, baby sitting fees or as hint to someone who should. It would also make a great Christening gift for that person who tends to give money as a gift.
