Summer is drifting

Summer is slowly leaving us. It´s still nice and warm but the evenings are getting shorter and the air is a bit cooler. I also see a difference in the light, its more grey than yellow. I´m doing my best to take advantage of every second, either with a long walk by the sea or on the terass with a book. Only wished I had a Gaucho inspired blanket to wrap around my shoulders...

Summer house dream

I just got back from a wonderful visit at my husbands familys summer house, a beautiful house on an island, far from stress, people and life in general. While driving back, I started to think about how my own "dream summer house" would look like. I think some of these pictures illustrates what I had in mind, daydreaming about it.

Greens of the day

We´ve spent all day in the garden today...again, trying to make some sense out of everything. Unfortunally most of our flowers are gone since the drainage work was done but some little plants seems to have made it anyway.

Barn delux

I found this amazing barn at the scandininavian/french blog; La maison d´Anna G. The barn is situated on the island of Gotland, one of the most beautiful places in Sweden. The photos are taken by Amelia & Andreas Lönngren Widell, (it´s Amelia´s father who lives here) from the lovely blog A Beautiful Living, and published in the latest issue of Residence magazine. I just love the coloured glas, the mix of patterns on the cusions, the espresso machine placed by the window and the beds outdoors. Well, I love it all.
