Have the happiest weekend
by Sofia - in Random
Ihanaa ihanaa viikonloppua! Ajattelin jakaa pitkästä aikaa taas vähän onnen aiheita. Täällä on viime aikoina tuonut iloa ainakin valkoinen lumipeite kuten varmasti moneen muuhunin perheeseen. Myös lisääntynyt valon määrä piristää kummasti. Mitään kovin suureellista tai erityistä ei viime aikoina ole tapahtunut, ei matkoja maailman ääriin, eikä ihania juhlia. Silloin elämässä ilon aiheet löydetään pienistä asioista arjessa. Pellegrinosta luomusitruunalla ja ihanista uusista sarjoista joita katsellessa voi hetkeksi karata eri aikakauteen ( Bridgerton oli mielestäni juuri tähän hetkeen täydellinen kauniin visuaalisine asuineen ja ympäristöineen, musiikkeineen, romansseineen ja herkullisen pastellisine väreineen). Omat pikku prinsessat ovat olleet reippaita ja onnen hetkiä on kun he vielä pyytävät iltaisin peittelemään ja suukkottelemaan ja halimaan. Enää harvoin joku kömpii yöllä kainaloon joten sekin tuntuu nykyään onnen aiheelta kun herään aamulla siihen kun joku kietoo pienet kätensä ympärilleni. Tässä vielä muutama visuaalinen ja materialistinen onnen aihe.
The new creams I spoke about last week arrived as did a few other everyday items like these white tank tops and a sweatsuit, with by our favourite Petit Bateau as well as some leggings and underwear. All in pretty pastels to get me in to a light and cozy Spring feel.

Happy 2021

So good to open my computer after a long while. I´m sorry I missed out on wishing you a Merry Christmas but I hope most of you follow me on Instagram and saw my greetings there. But now I am back from a little holiday and wanted to quickly pop by to wish you so much health happiness and goodness for this year of hope 2021 that I truly wish will take a turn to better very soon. Personally I am so happy about all the snow I try to ignore other things I have no control over and to enjoy the small things. You know it´s my jam. I will try to find myself some pretty flowers to brighten up my home after all the pretty decorations have been taken down and my house looks more like a laundromat after a ski-ing holiday than a pretty home. Luckily I love doing laundry and I actually have a better place for this than in our old apartment. While the machine does the heavy lifting I will go for a walk outside and call a friend to see how the lockdown in England is going.

Happy New Year! May it be everything you wish for!

Happy thoughts
by Sofia - in Random
When you have been writing a blog for a long time like I have you may find yourself repeating the same things over and over again. What makes me happy? Good coffee, cozy candles, great books, silly movies, cuddles with my girls and husband, baking, party planning… the list goes on and you know everything on it a thousand times over. I feel like I am always talking about unwinding with a good book, cashmere socks warming my feet, my favourite scented candle burning and some Christmas tunes playing in the background. It is true, these kind of moments do make me happy and they do make me feel cozy but when all the bloggers repeatedly gush about the same things they do get redundant.
How to inspire? How to be fresh and find your own voice and your own path? Now that we don´t travel, we don´t find our inspiration from our favourite cities or by stumbling up on something new, I feel like we are on this repeat loop. I personally have actually found most inspiration in antique shops, in old books I already have, in old shows I have already watched and in back issues of interior- and food magazines. They somehow take me to a better time, if you will, and make me feel all warm inside. I am all for living in the now and dreaming of the future but at the same time I do find joy in old photographs and even looking back at some old blog posts. I moved a few old Christmas posts to the featured link on the right hand side bulk. That Christmas spent in Paris feels so bittersweet this year as we had planned to go. To do it again now that my dad was still barely up for the travel ( he is turning 87 in January). But instead we have a different. most likely just as lovely, celebration planned in the country side.
