Hej friends,

Today, I devote the blog to a new acquaintance who loves patterns. Not just any pattern, but patterns of roses, preferably small-scale ones, I believe. I happened to see her Iphone case, which was studded with small roses in red & pink. We started talking about roses of all kinds that’s been her passion since childhood. I’m moderately interested & prefer to combine roses with stripes, to make it less romantic or rather, less cute. I like those patterns because I seem to fall for something regarding these roses, especially on porcelain, for some reason…as long as it doesn’t get too pretty. It’s something with roses that attract, at least in some situations & environments. Sometimes there is too much & sometimes it’s just perfect. Most things become nice as long as you add into your personal taste & creates the feeling you are looking for, that makes you happy. It’s as easy as it sounds, really.

You will notice that I have selected photos that are not very colourful. It becomes too much sometimes & right now it felt just right with these images.

Hej dear friends,

I had in mind to blog about autumn after my nice breakfast in the sun with all the beautiful colours around me…it almost looks like the trees are burning…with the diversity of brown-red, yellow & the burned tones, especially when rays of the sun gleams through. But when I finished it became more rosy than I had imagined, for some reason. Never mind, it works anyway. It might sound odd to you but I’m not particularly fond of flowers or plants for that matter. I appreciate the beauty but have no interest in engaging in it. At most, it’s enough to arrange fresh flowers in a vase. We don’t even have pot plants at home, believe it or not. However, the garden is flowing over by plants, seedlings, shrubs & trees, thanks to our landlord which we rent the house of. There’s even a small vegetable garden. Nice indeed:)

Flowers are not the biggest part of my field of interest, as I said, but enjoyable when it’s picked together in an appealing manner, whether it be in interiors or as bouquets, by all means. I made a bargain, a while back on the flea market, a floral one. A padded quilt that was striped on one side & with small-patterned roses on the other side. Really nice! But when it’s in use, it’s the striped side that’s visible… with the roses on the back which can only be sensed.
