Onnen aiheita

by Sofia   -   in Random

Kuten jo myönsin aiemmin, olen ottanut henkisen varaslähdön jo pääsiäisen tunnelmointiin. Tosin kun kaupatkin ovat jo täynnä pääsiäisnamuja, rairuohon siemeniä ja pikkuisia tipuja niin en todellakaan taida olla yksin ajatusteni kanssa.

My happy thoughts of lately…

Löysin tytöille maailman söpöimmät posliiniset leivontamitat joiden avulla syntyy varmasti aikamoisen suloisia pääsiäisleipomuksia! / I can´t wait to bake something with the girls now that I found them these cute bunny measuring spoons. Little people with flour on their face and butter in their fingers are the best!

Ribbons and wrapping paper

by Sofia   -   in DIY projects

I´m not going to lie. I love gift wrapping. I´m like a little girl in a candy shop when it comes to pretty cards, wrapping paper and especially ribbon. I have noticed in life that certain type of people are ribbon people. I know it sounds odd but some are ununderstanding when it comes to gift wrapping and even the prettiest silk ribbons get thrown away with trash when the present is opened. And then there are people like me. Who carefully save all the pretty ribbons and re-use them for something. Ribbon people. We enjoy different kinds of ribbons. We buy rolls of ribbon just because it´s so pretty. And ribbon people are often also bow people. The bigger the bow the better type. I have a few friends who love ribbon as much as I do. There´s a type, trust me. Ribbon people are probably also the type to go nuts in the sprinkle section of a baking shop. But with all the nice ribbon and all the sprinkles in our pantries we are the party kind too. So ribbon people are not only nuts, we are also fun loving. The girls who throw confetti around and say ” oh yes, it´s a party!”. And if parties, presents, ribbons, sprinkles, confetti and cake are our thing then wrapping those birthday presents is part of the fun. So how to make a really nice package. This is how…

First you buy a present. When buying for your kids friends you don´t really know so well I think it´s safe to go with something you would not mind having in your nursery. Like crafty things or a pretty puzzle, maybe some wooden food for a play kitchen. I would steer clear of plastic and junk. Now that the girls, especially Cotton Candy has started to go to quite a few birthday parties I have found a few favourite brands. I like Djeco for arts and crafts things. They have very good quality art supplies, nice stickers and crafting sets. Djeco also makes very cute puzzles. Vilac is another go to brand. Lovely wooden toys and they last for a very long time. From both brands you can find a cute and useful toy for under or about 20 €. Another good choice is a book. I´m always a big fan of children´s books. And reading fairy tales never hurt anybody.

This is not all of it…

Have a sunny morning!

by Sofia   -   in Interior design

Aurinkoista aamua! Eilen illalla kun olimme ystäväni kanssa iltakävelyllä Kaivarin rannassa haistoimme jo ihan selvästi kevään ilmassa. Aamutkin alkavat valoisissa ja aurinkoisissa tunnelmissa kun keittiössä on pilkahdus sitruunankeltaista…
