Bigger and another view.
I left Dreams part two in the workshop and went for lunch at Restaurang Jungfrusund, lovely to sit inside with this view outside.
I get happy when I get a post card from Raymond Biesinger in the letter box.

It is getting lighter with each day but at 4.30 it’s this dark in the green house. Next week manos opens again after the winter rest and I’m bringing spring right in with greens and purples and pinks!
Today it is 5 years since I started this blog - my first post was about… wedding dresses! Thank you for still staying with me 
Talking about weddings… here’s some gift ideas for Valentine’s. Spread the love.

*THank you for all the well wishes!*
Here’s from a very nice lunch with Maria at Fröken Nilsson on Ålstensgatan, I ate a pasta salad with salmon, capers and chick peas. Afterwards we went shopping in the second hand shop where I always find something to cherish.
My Friday assistant Josephine is blogging, make her happy and pay her a visit!

Oh, what life has in store for me this year. This ultrasound is from the end of November and now we’re already in week 21 and I’m wondering how far away from the throwing wheel my stomach will take me
These days you’ll find me surfing around on sites like Nuno & Dodo, Oeuf, periwinklebloom and bamboo baby.

Another beautiful winter day and I received a bird in the post. It arrived in the most exquisite parcel!

Thank you for your happy birthday wishes! It took me just a few seconds to figure out who was the messenger New years eve is my birthday and this last one was no 40 and cause for a celebration. I have been pondering on what and how since the summer and in the end my day turned out just like I wished for.
It was a fairy-tale-like midwinter day, when the trees are glittering and snow covered. It started with David giving me a Spanish serenade, continued at Överjärva with mingle in my candle lit green house and ended with a delicious dinner party, fire works and dancing at my brothers beautiful house. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday and end to 2009!
I hope you had the bestest new years eve too! Happy New Year!

Yesterday evening we braced ourselves for the wind and the snow and went out to a lovely little restaurant: Matkultur (food culture) at Erstagatan here in Stockholm. I ate wild char from Jämtland with goats cheese gratinated sweet potatoe, puré of pumpkin and a spinach salad with pine nuts. Delicious.
Almost forgot…my favourite advent calendar this year: chemistry advent calendar. Click twice on the “calendar door” otherwise nothing much exciting will happen. The calendar can also be viewed on Youtube.

The Christmas market was - despite the appalling weather - a great success. I think we’ve never had as many visitors as we did on Saturday. On Sunday Diana Baur came all the way from Italy to visit, you can read about her Stockholm experience on her blog. I loved every minute of the weekend and today I’ve put my feet up for a well deserved rest!
I’m listening to a “winter album” by Sting and I can recommend it. I’m reading Anna Karenina and parallell to that an inspector Banks mystery by Peter Robinson. Perfect balance
Now it’s time for a nap.
