Ready for a brand new week?


Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed your weekend (long weekend for my american friends!). Are you ready for a brand new week?......I would rather stay in my bed....Mondays are always tragic for me! But you know, Monday morning is absolutely the most suspicious day of the week to be sick! :)

 
As I said yesterday, I went to Ikea and I found lovely decorations, candles, garlands,  and ornaments. I'm already thinking how to decorate my house and my table for the Christmas party with friends. I have some ideas...


It's time to start Christmas shopping because I have so many gifts to buy! I still am not sure what kind of gifts I'm going to buy. Did anybody start their Christmas shopping yet?

Inspired by Skona Hem


In the latest issue of the Swedish interior design magazine, Skona Hem, I found some images from a beautiful home that caught my attention.

I so like this combination of colors, whites and greys. This dining room has personality and charme.

The wonderful shabby cabinets needs to be copied! They continue to publish beautiful places!

Sunday Lunch


Sunday lunch has a special place in my heart. The smell of roasted potatoes wafting out of the kitchen on a Sunday usually signals a happy end of the week.

Getting around the table with all my family it's just a great tradition. Mom, grandparents, uncles, cousins,...



Sunday lunch is a fantastic opportunity to get as many of the family together as possible. 





 The lunch consisted of a roast meat along with roast potatoes, mashed potatoes and lots of vegetables, quiches and a big cake.





 I almost forgot the most important thing, Sunday was the 20th birthday of my cousin. I remember when he was a little child, now is a man. We organized a really nice party for him with many beautiful gifts!


 This is my family, the most important thing of my life...
 Is it tradition in your country to get together with family on Sundays?
