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!

you have a cottage in liguria? it looks fantastic – and it seems to have this reassuring feel to it because these buildings have been there for centuries…
