Pictures, pictures, pictures...
I’ve framed some more old photos today. The plan is to create a wall filled with pictures of our relatives. We just don’t know where to put it yet, since we’re running out of walls, sort of. Perhaps we should spread them out?
The big wedding pictures are of my mum and dad and the pretty girl in the white hat is also my mum, from her high school graduation.

Mike Stimpson - totally awesome!
We finally made an order for some of Mike Stimpson’s star wars-photos. I’ve been wanting them for some time now, so I’m very pleased. They’re totally awesome (btw, we went to a children’s play the other day, starring Mr Totally Awesome, superhero. Do I need to say it was brilliant?…)!

Glad midsommar!
This weekend we’ve celebrated midsommar (=midsummer), which is a big holiday here in Sweden. You it herring and strawberries, drink snaps, and, if you’re under the age of five at least, you dance silly dances around one of these (no I don’t mean Ester, but the big pole-thingie in the background):
Ester had a very cool clover-dress, that I got for Eowyn when she was little,...

Cabinet from Ellos
Instead of the Tolix-drawer we found this nice (and cheap!) cabinet from Ellos.
I instantly filled it with fabrics and other sewing stuff. I just hope that Ester won’t find it right away… She’s quite a little menace right now. :-)

Nintendo
Our latest second hand-buy - a gigantic Nintendo-sign. We love it!
We also love our new venetian blinds, that we had put in today. They’re much neater that the old ones.

Bungalow bedspread
Having looked for a second hand bedspread for a while, without finding anything we liked, I gave up and ordered a beautiful block printed bedspread from Danish company Bungalow the other day (via Swedish web shop Broarne). They’re hand printed and sewn in India. Block printing is supposed to be environmental friendly as well, although I must say I sort of fell in love with it so I...

Slow Sunday
Yesterday we went to a wedding, so today we’re pretty tired. Johan is vacuumcleaning with a little help from Ester, Eowyn is doing her Pippi-jigsaw puzzle and I’m enjoying having a brand new battery for my Macbook. Lovely to once more have a computer that lasts more than half an hour without plugging in the power cord.
Here are some pictures from Rice to brighten up this slow Sunday.

Retro playhouse
Family Living came out with a new issue yesterday, and it was as good as always. This little playhouse was really cool (they also seem to have launched a new website - check it out).

Reuse
Now that we’ve gotten ourselves a new coffee table for our livingroom, we got the old table, which actually consisted of two small tables, over. Since they we’re quite perfect in size for a kids table one of them has moved into Ester’s room. I’m thinking that I might paint it or perhaps do some decoupage on the table top later on.

Saturday night
Today we’ve visited a zoo, situated in a city near by. It was a very nice trip and the weather was great. The biggest event was probably that Eowyn gave up her pacifiers to the animal babies. We’d discussed this a while and she was quite ok with it. Except that she got scared by a friendly goat, so Johan had to step in and give the pacifiers away for her. :-)
Right now we’re...

Old and new photos
Finally, we’ve printed and framed some photos of the kids. The one in the middle however is an old photo of my grandparents and my grandma’s sister. I really like how they are sitting in the middle of a meadow.
I have a small collection of old pictures of relatives of mine, that are waiting to be framed. This one was the only one that came with a frame though. Hopefully Johan can...

Enzo Mari's Formosa
We’ve been looking for a wall calendar, but without finding a nice one, probably since it’s the wrong season, everything is sold out except the most hideous ones.
One calendar that I really like is Formosa from Enzo Mari:
They’re available at the store Aschebergsgatan 24 here in Gothenburg, which I pass by every time I leave Eowyn at daycare, but never have time to go in to...
