Desert beauty

Today, head on over here for a soft start to your week.

This blog post takes me far away to a very peaceful place.

American boy just has a way of capturing the most inspiring, beautiful and serene images, so head on over and be swept away on a petite journey.

Happy Monday!

Happy Sunday!

It’s the weekend, and I am taking you to church.

These organs have been on my mind since I came across them over a month ago. And here they are to brighten you day:)

Enjoy.

Otherworldly, dreamy, puristic, sensual and elegantly strong come to mind.

If I was a piece of art, then please, pretty please let me be an organ, so I can belly up sweet tones or joy while looking like a bejeweled jazz singer from the 20’s.

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Organic poetry part II

These are just treasures I found on the way, that I just had to bring with me home.

No matter where I am, I like collecting stones, feathers, seashells, seeds, leaf and whatever may catch my attention as I walk by. Most of it gets lost on the way, but a few treasures makes it home, or to a photograph.

When American boy and I took our infamous petite trip across America this fall, he took me on a weekend trip to Long Islang outside New York. I will post about it soon. There we wandered the beaches, and in the soft fall sun white pebbles glittered and made it to my pockets.

As I flew to Norway, his car carried a few small plastic bags full of treasures back home with him.

Somehow, these treasures carry with them sweet memories, so its quite hard to part with them. Therefor I try to incorporate them in the interior decoration, like filling a glass vase with seashells, white pebbles in a big silver bowl with a cube candle, make a necklace or just a dried leaf in my favorite book.

And now, let me take you inside mon petite getaway cottage, and the village that holds it in it’s embrace.

My breakfast:

These hallways are the main streets of this petite village. All the houses are connected, and walking between them all is like getting lost in a medieval labyrinth.

An then back inside the labyrinth, I will take you from the 17century to back the 14th century.

Come along and be charmed.

I so hope you have enjoyed our little walk in the Ligurian mountains and stone village.

Have a wonderful day!

Blog of the week

This blog of the week has a great travel image section and is from what I can gather based out of Tokyo/Paris.

I always miss Tokyo in the spring, because that is when cherry blossom is going on, and to me the most beautiful time to visit this fantastic city.

So here is a bit of Japanese street style, travel stories, great images and a bit Hello kitty-ish for you.

( For travel images scroll down on the right side of the blog to ” The world is beautiful” category)

Bon Voyage!

Bohemian spring 2010

Oh, I just cant wait!

So, before we continue with another organic poetry post, I had to show you this fashion shoot.

This is what I want to wear this spring.

This is how I want to feel.

It’s a bit beach bohemian anno 2010, and I want in.

I know its only the beginning of February, but I am already very ready for the beautiful snow outside my Norwegian home to melt, so I can toss on some of these gorgeous gowns with a light knitted shawl loosely draped over my shoulders.

Get ready for spring!
