Hej friends,

We’ve been shopping with our guys this weekend. Black shoes to complete the school uniform was on the list to our youngest. He’s been using shoes which contributed to a note from school with a warning that it couldn’t continue. The shoes that’s recommended looks … well, not so good, they weigh half a ton & are very clumsy to wear. We bought a pair earlier & they are now parked somewhere in a dark corner & will never ever see the light again. We went for black Converse in leather – simple, black & straightforward model that just landed in store. We’ll see how it works!  Next task was to purchase a camera to replace that which has been worn out, to say the least. It was our oldest son who needed it to his film assignments. It took a while to find the right model with all the necessary paraphernalia. He was proud as a peacock because he paid it all by himself with money he earned as a barista between school lessons. A great feeling of independence, I guess:)

The last task was a shopping tour with our student friend who’s staying with us for a few months. It was a difficult task, because girls is more , well, more picky might be the right word to describe it. It’s a beautiful girl in the same age as my youngest, 17 years. She is tall, slim & good looking which means she fits in just about everything. But it was not quite that easy, of course. It’s never easy, right?  Either way, there were some nice purchases that she was so pleased over – in fact so happy that she felt healthy & spirited enough, to go out with buddies in the evening.This after having been sick with a fever & sore throat a couple of days. There’s nothing that can’t be cured by some shopping, indeed:)

Today’s post is about small spaces but not the usuual small space living. In this case it’s about small decorative ones as a nice addition into the home environment. I find them appealing & they tend to make me smile. I hope that they’ll create a similar feel within you.
