Daily inspiration, clogs

Clogs, evoking childhood memories indeed. I have borrowed this picture of a friend who posted it on FB. It’s from a very nice shop in a wonderful old gallery in Sydney, Strand galleries. These has developed into nice design but the first one in the row is what I grew up with – in red! Nice image, don’t you think?

Daily inspiration, textile base

I guess you know me well by now so it’s not a surprise for you that I am very fond of textiles. I fell for this image with the red cover as a base. So that no matter what beddings you choose to use, they become prominent by the dark red textil base. Also, the red tbase with light & dark grey colours are so delicious.

Something in red / 183

Hej there friends,

I’m going with something red today, just like that, with no specific reason. Not that I’m a bearer of red, but on the other hand, things can change. I went for a stroll during lunch & happened to fall in love in a red thin knitted sweater in soft material. Last time it happened was about a year ago & that love is somewhere in a drawer now. It will surely be different this time 🙂

Everything in moderation is a very common phrase in Sweden. I think this phrase fits into red, because it’s a strong & energizing color … which can dominate depending on where & how it’s used. The taste is of course different, but I for one, prefers red accents, whether it comes to fashion or interior design. It’s very much as shown below, actually. Moreover, I appreciate red with basic colours as white or black. I’m fully aware of how boring & predictable I am, but I’m an ordinary woman, you know! I leave with a warm hand, the extraordinary & exciting to someone else.

Red is a color that must have the correct red tone to appeal to me. Not too yellow so it slopes towards orange, not too blue either, so it becomes pink purple etc. It can look too watery in the expression together with white –  it’s nicer whit contrast. Fresher in some way – take a look, what do you think?

Heart-shape / 165

Hej dear friends,

Hearts, they are always beautiful in my eyes, you know the hearts that symbolize so much but look so simple. I like them in most colors, but preferably in red, actually. We got a nice present a while ago, a puzzle in a heart-shape, which was a postcard with a greeting written on the back. We had to piece together all small parts before we could read the text … fun idea & a very sweet gift. I often return to the simple form and use the heart as a symbol when I sign messages, out of habit. There’s something in the shape that makes me happy, a childlike feeling perhaps, yet so warming & pleasant. So dear friends, here’s a heart-filled post today from me to you.

BIG thanks to all of you that so often gets in touch with greetings, comments & encouraging words. In addition, to be as friendly when we’ve never met each other. That’s really cool – indeed heartwarming:)
