A Witch in Pictures....

We had a photo session today, my sister and I....

here's the result...





And then my neighbor decided to stop by... lived here 6 months, owned the house for a year and this was the first I talked to him... Can't blame him alone, I am horrible at making contact... shy as I am... o.O He seemed like a cool guy... so I hope we'll talk some more now that we've said the "hi there... I'm your neighbour"... ha ha... And aprently Huldra has visited him quite a few times allready... oh well :) She is curious that cat of mine...

Whishingwell monday

It's my free monday, I'm all realxed in front of the computer... with Hexa on my lap and hazelnut coffee in my hand...and life is good! It has been a buzy week, on tuesday my dear friend Mille texted me out of the blue and asked if she could come have coffee... I nearly never see her, as she lives so far away. But she was "in the neighborhood" and stopped by. I made pancakes with strawberries and icecream, and we had a good time. Her two boys seemed to enjoy themselves as well... It was a great day... then on thursday night it was the much awaited Potter midninght premier... ah!!! Finally... I am a total fan, I admit it... gotta love HP. And then on saturday parts of my german family came to ma and pa... five of them in fact! o.O
Yesterday I was at "sigdal Open", a horse show for anything that has four legs and neighs... It was great fun, and my favorites Sandra & Diva did great... won all they entered into. I had the perfect view from the kiosk stand, where I sold snacks to everyone there.
Today my misson is just to relax, and then relax some more... I have been browsing the net and found a wishlist...

I REALLY wish some of teh amazing online shops around Norway would start taking in America Retold stuff... I love their stuff, and really wish someone would start buying from them... just look at what I found...all images borrowed from One Coast, a place for retailers to order (hint hint!!!)

I also browsed ebay a bit and fell absolutely in love with this... I want it, SO bad!!!

Nature's Music

Rain... it has rained for a week, and more... summer turned alittle colder, but it is just as magical... For what is more soothing a sound than rain drops on a tin roof, or the sound of wind and rain ruffeling the leaves outside. For what is more magic, than sitting on your porch all wrapped up in blankets with a hot cup of coffee and the fresh wind playing with your hair, nestled up in a coocoon of warmth and happiness, listening to the music that Mother Nature composes for you, and you alone. Smelling the freshness of newly washed trees and grass. Seeing dimonds fall from the sky while the glimpses of sun painting the sky in rainbow colours... No one does it better than She, our living, breathing Mother Earth...

A Little of This And A Little of That

I feel like days just arent long enough, and that weeks fly by without me noticing. It is crazy at work these days, and I have been so busy! It's been raining the past week, which makes summer kind of feeling a bit like autumn allready, so I sure hope it's gonna dry up soon. We needed the wet, but not for this long... Hopefully the sun will peep out again soon-ish.

I spent this saturday waking up gently and went out to get breakfast. Had a great breakfast with my best friend Ole and then I decided to do some housework, so I washed the bathroom, and the bedroom! It felt great getting it all clean :) so of course I had to take my camera out for a shoot.

I love my bedroom, it is painted in a calm, light ocean green blue. Ha ha... Not quite duck-egg, it is too green for that. But maybe some kind of egg blue. Everything else is white. I have sheepskins on both sides of the bed, and one wall with amazing shimmering wallpaper. It reflects the light in amazing ways.For some reason the colour just never turns out right in photos though. The bed and bedside tables were bought by my mum at a thrift shop. It was a dark dark brown, and we painted it white. It took forever, but man was it worth it. There is a distinct theme in my bedroom, dragonflies & seashells. Why? Well I love dragonflies and you can find dragonfly detail all around my house. But it was decided by the artwork I bought online. It had seashells and dragonflies on them, and I fell in love. I didnt paint the frames, because I thought the dark brown broke the white and blue perfectly. So does the old suitcases on top of my wardrobes. I couldnt afford new ones, so I panted the two old ones that were left in the house when I took over. The outcome, I think, is brilliant. And it suits my style to a tee! This is my side of the bed. That dragonfly was a gift from Ole, by best friend. He found it one day at his job and I framed it. The rock and the shells are from Bournemouth Beach in England, where my sister studies. That was alittle tour of my bedroom. I feel so lucky to wake up there every day. It's like it's always smiling at me, like a little piece of heaven! I used to think it didnt really matter what a bedroom looked like, now I know I was wrong... It makes you start your day with a smile! And by the way, this is the view from my bedroom window. My bathroom isnt the best, it is still "in the making" so to say. I am not doing much to it, but I am building some more shelving and some more surfaces. So seeing as that is still in the production state of matter, I am not prepared to show you the mess! Ha ha... But while I am waiting for some more shelves, I decided to do something about all the things that lie around every day. I had this old spice drawer in plastic. From sometime in the 50's :) I love it, but couldnt fit it into my kitchen. So I have been playing with the idea of using it in the bathroom for all the little tibbits. Finally I did. I lined the seethrough fronts with scrapbook paper so that it looked alittle tider. Not too happy with the colour choice, but its all I had at the moment. Last I just want to show off my bell-jar again. I love this thing, and I keep chaing the setting underneath. Right now it's alittle fogged up and I like the "forgotten laboratory" look. The moss had to go unfortunatly, it was moulding. Ha ha... There we are... a few tibbits from me. Tomorrow I will have to wash down the livingrooms and kitchen as well... so I better get to bed, and sleep in fresh bedsheets. Isnt that just the best?!??
