Happy weekend

by Sofia   -   in Blog collaboration  Interior design

I wish you all a very happy weekend! This week I put up and decorated the Christmas tree and filled our house with the scent of hyacinths & tangerines. We bought some take away hot cocoa and looked at the Christmassy windows of Stockmann´s, another loved traditions of our. I think the miniature village they have this year is very very cute!

This Sunday we will bake some gingerbread cookies and perhaps even try to build a house. Let´s see how that might go. I have also started to do some Christmas cleaning. For me it´s mostly organising ( as I am such a cheat and have nam actual cleaner do the scrubbing)  and the organising is mostly in the girls room as usually the rest of the house is in pretty decent shape. I tried to take some photos for you but it was pretty dark. Will hopefully catch a better day on Sunday. I can not wait for the light in the new house. I have a feeling that taking pictures will be so much easier. Even my pantry has a window. Obviously at this time of the year the light just does not seem to be good at any place or at any hour. Every year the same dilemma. 

Anyhow I hope you have the best weekend! I´m looking forward to putting a fire in the fireplace tonight and having some glögi in front of it with the girls & hubby.

p.s. The absolutely gorgeous new bedding from V´lody Oriental I tried to shoot for you and that you can see in a few of these pictures ( the one I have been raving about on insta) is now live for purchase ( international shipping by request too!) and free domestic shipping. They are the perfect Christmas presents and so easy to purchase whilst sipping your red wine and you even support a small local business! Go check them out! Also available on the Prologue shop in Helsinki.

Jacadi love

We were on a lookout for a new winter coat for Bubble Gum. The girls actually fit their woollen coats and their short down jackets they use for school etc. but her long navy down coat had gotten small on her. Cotton Candy had a new one last year and hers was the perfect size now. So we had to find one for Bubble Gum! And we did find the perfect one from Jacadi! It has a fleece lining, it has a ( fake) fur lined hood and the hood has ( fake) fur around it too. It is warm and beautiful and has small golden polka dots on it. You may have seen this one on Instagram already on a few occasions. I got a lot of DM messages about it when it was featured on the stories. It was the coat of her dreams and you can tell. She wants to wear it all the time even though it´s not very cold yet. But then you can just wear something light underneath so it works out well. We also got a gorgeous outfit for school for Cotton Candy that I will share on another post.

Warm and comfy

Saimme Nona K´lta testiin aivan ihanat Noa Noa miniaturen villa-asut joihin kuuluu villatakit ja villahousut. Juuri täydelliset asut tanssitytöille, he vetävät nämä balettipuvun ja – sukkisten päälle matkalle ja mitään muuta ei tarvitsekaan, kun hyppää auton kyytiin. Asut ovat mukavat ja lämpimät. Ne sopivat tietenkin ihan mihin tahansa muuhunkin käyttöön ja nämä pakataan myös aivan varmasti hiihtolomalla mukaan laskettelureissuun. Villatakit sellaisenaan ovat kauniit minkä tahansa asun kanssa ja villahousut ovat olleet käytössä myös mukavina kotihousuina. Haaveilen talveksi myös Noa Noan aluskerrastoista tytöille, jonka ulkopinta on 100% villaa ja sisäpuoli 50% villaa ja 50% puuvillaa. Lämmin, mutta ei kutiava pitkähihainen paita ja kalsari olisi kyllä aivan varmasti oiva pakkaspäivinä, vaikkapa juuri rinteessä, tai ihan vaan koulun pihalla iltapäiväkerhossa vaatteiden alla, niin ei tarvitse palella. Ajattelen jo kylmiä ja pimeitä iltapäiviä kun lapset leikkivät ulkona pitkään. Itse ainakin aina ajatuksissani silloin toivon heille ylleen jotain lämmintä ja mukavaa jossa on hyvä liikkua, ei tule hiki eikä vilunväreitä.

Näistä ihanista asuista on myös vauvojen kokoja ja minä ainakin pukisin omani mieluusti lämpimään villabodyyn ja housuihin joissa on pehmoinen puuvillainen sisäpinta ja laittaisin päälle vielä suloisen villatakin ja damaskit. Sitten ei tarvitsisi paljon ihmetellä josko vauvaa paleltaa. Villa säätelee hyvin ruumiinlämpöä joten se ei myöskään ole liian kuuma. Myös pojille löytyy Nona K´sta vaihtoehtoja.
