M & Co

She is so bored of me taking photos!

The other day, when I took the pictures of my Crocus Snowbunting, I captured Luna laying next to me on the floor, soooo bored by me moving props, changing angles , adjusting the tripod and focusing all my attention on a Crocus instead of her ;-)!

For the love of eggs ...

1. Fabergé, 2. Moe cosy, 3. Cuckoo =))), 4. the egg - part 7, 5. Dust Trails from an Oversympathetic Candle, 6. breakfast, 7. Stone and eggs, 8. eggs (3), 9. Egg White, 10. One Dozen, 11. Untitled, 12. research, 13. eggs, 14. Easter Egg, 15. Easter Egg, 16. Grouse eggs on Saddleworth Moor

Beautiful eggs on Flickr! It is something I just adore about the shape and texture of eggs, so clean and elegant! (Not so fond of eating them tough, at least not the yolk .... )I love that egg cosy from Little Cotton Rabbits, so adorable.

Best/Pest

Photos by me

Poppins of Poppins Tragard challenged me to show you the Best and the Pest of my home. I actually love this challenge as I have much of both ;-)

The Best of my home is the attic! Living in my grandparents old house ment that we was stuck with a lifetime of collected items that nobody wanted ... several container loads was given away to the fleamarket, but I still have a treasure trove of wonderful things (and not so wonderful things)up there! Quite often I'll go on a treasure hunt, in my own attick, finding beautiful items I've never seen before. My favourite finds so far are ; my coral, and shell collection, several old porcelaine dinner and coffe sets, one coffe table, one side table, a collection of olde ebony and ivory figurines and a crocodile.

Now to the not so pleasant part.....the Pest of my house .... well its quite a lot living in an old house but the worsth is the upstairs bathroom! In order to not ruin my blog completly I've just added a picture of the ceiling .... its awful!! And the rest of the room is kind of in the same state. I must admit I never allow people to enter that room, and we do not use it either ...apart for my husband who have done some "decorating" there, hanging up posters from different Metal bands, and some Calendar girls... I must say that really impoved it *hihi*

I'm passing the challenge on to some people that surley must have Pest free homes, but lets see what comes out of their closets !:

The Beedlam of Beefy, Patricia Grey, Studio da Lu, Karna and Decor Amor .

The rules are; Link to the person who tagged you (So we can follow the trail), show us the Best and the Pest of your home, and pass on the challenge to 5 others! 

First Crocus !

I just could not wait any longer...seeing that my Crocus snowbunting was soon to bloom I had to give some of them a helping hand ;-)(I saw this tip in a beautiful blog some weeks ago...and I've tried to find it ...I remember the picture vividly...but who made that post? Argh I hate it when I forget to take a note of posts I'd like to read again and again ....) As soon as I took them inside they started to bloom, I could almost see the  buds open up! I hope you are all having a beautiful easter week?! I am :-)

Calling all swap chicks!

Remember to send me photos of your creation, and a note when you receive your parcels! I do not want to spoil any suprises, but on Easter Eve I'll post all the swap images I have received, ok? :-) Hopefully everyone will receive their parcels during next week, but keep in mind international postal service!

William Yeoward

Living in England some years ago I discovered William Yeoward for the first time, and the classic but still modern furnitures amazed me. His focus on using the best quality materials, and craftspeople for his collections ensure that each piece is truly fabulous. I love those chairs on the top right picture! So elegant.

I also love his lighting collection! Which one is your favourite?

   

Look what was waiting for me in my mailbox!

Ohhh look at this! Soo beautiful! Some time ago I won a raffle over at Jennifer of Sis Booms blog, and she sent me all these wonderful fabrics from her collections! Not only is her fabric design devine, but the quality of the fabric and clear colors are also amazing! At the moment my head is filled with ideas on what to create from these fabrics, but I'm almost afraid to start since the fabric is so gorgeous! Some time ago Jennifer put me on the idea of glitterfying everything, and now before easter I've been glitter sprinkeling all my easter decoration, my dogs, and basically the rest of the house...so my craft room really needs a good clean before I start sewing ;-) The husband is furious because its glitter everywhere, and I've been attenting serious business meetings  all covered in glitter lately ;-) Sooo much fun!!

100th post winner announced!

Congratulation to Suzy of Georgia Peaches, you won!! I had nothing to do with it, as my husband did the drawing , but I'm thrilled because Suzy is super sweet! Thanks to everyone who left a comment and congratulated me on my 100th post! I'm thrilled you're still here reading, and I hope to bring you more fun and interesting posts in the future.

Spring Fling part 4!

 

Thanks to Jennifer for letting me use her images!

Oh gosh! So many wonderful artist out there! I could go on forever!! But this is my last post on minature cuteness, and I'm finishing off with an explosion of a creative artist; Jennifer Murphy! Jennifer has got this stuff fed into her since she was a baby, as her mother is the artist behind Murphy Bears. I'm totally in love with the beautiful, vintage aesthetics of Jennifers minatures, and her website is exceptionally cute! You'll even find Instructions on how to make some of these beauties! I should definitly give it a try during easter!! :-)

   

At Bayberry Cove you'll find a liscensed collection of cuteness from Jennifer! (Ps! Bayberry Cove is a must for stunning holiday decor, and they ship internationally :-))

Spring Fling part 3!

Another great Flick find is folk artist The polkadot Pixie ; Jennifer Adams Hernadez! I adore her cute, whimsical work! She sculpts the sweetest little creatures out of papier mache, and you can se more of them at her website, or visit her at her sweet blog!
