Hvis du endnu ikke har stiftet bekendtskab med Pinterest.com - så klik endelig forbi sitet. Lav en god kop et eller andet og sæt dig godt tilrette - mit gæt er nemlig at du kommer til at sidde foran skærmen et stykke tid...Jeg ELSKER al den fantastiske inspiration og alle de smukke smukke billeder som folk deler med alverden. Jeg har lige bidraget med et board - fotos fra min datters 10 års fødselsdagsfest. Jeg har blogget om det før, men har lagt endnu flere fotos på Pinterest.

Jeg har taget livet af mit kamera...
Alting har en ende...og mit kamera synger på sidste vers. Jeg har simpelthen slidt det op. Øv. Jeg har været SÅ glad for det, og skal HELT klart have Nikon igen. Jeg lavede en lille collage med min datter - her kan man se at kameraet er ved at give op - billederne er uskarpe, men farverne er stadig herlige...Balkjole og Inkahue (som oldemor har strikket i 70'erne....) - herlig cocktail.

Jeg er helt blød i knæene...
...når det kommer til gammelt underfundigt mønstret porcelæn og fajance. Har en stak stående fremme altid på køkkenbordet i ødegården. Dels er de ofte i brug, men det primære er at de er så vanvittigt smukke. Og lige ved siden af hænger et gammelt hjemmevævet hørviskestykke med lille fin hank på en gammel knage....DET gør mig glad at se på. Og det handler jo om at være glad :-)

Tapet - Bisous
Glæder mig...skal nemlig i gang med at opsætte tapet i et hyggeligt værelse her i vores gamle gård...Jeg VED det bliver fint. Tapet er det nemmeste ansigtsløft man kan give et rum. ALTID fantastisk effekt. Vi har valgt at sætte 3 forskellige nuancer op af det samme mønster...
Tapetet er fra Bisous kollektionen, som er helt fantastisk. Det har været svært at vælge....

Gammelt papir med gotisk skrift
Jeg bliver helt blød i knæene når jeg finder gamle bøger. Slidte, med gulnede blade og flossede kanter. Læderindbundne, med sirlig skrift på ryggen og slidte hjørner. ELSKER dem! Men jeg har for mange - det kan man faktisk godt få :-) Så derfor har jeg i nogle år tilladt mig, lige så stille, at bruge siderne i nogle af bøgerne til alle mulige sjove projekter. Ungerne dekorerede fx. tændstiksæsker mv. da der var juleklip på skolen. Jeg fik kvalme af at tænke på at skulle bruge 5 timer på at lave guirlander og hjerter af glanspapir i håbløse farver - så derfor tog jeg materialer med til at dekorere tændstiksæsker i stedet. STOR succes. Og jeg savner ikke Tordenskjold overhovedet, når jeg lader tændstikkerne ligge fremme...

HOLD da op!
2011 var det travleste år nogensinde, og selvom min webshop ikke plejer at have nogen mærkbar julesæson, så var december 2011 HELT vild. Vi nåede ikke det hele, heller ikke konfekten, som vi så til gengæld hyggede os med at lave i juleferien. Slet ikke så ringe, faktisk, når nu man ikke KAN nå det hele. Jeg nåede heller ikke at blogge så meget som jeg havde tænkt mig. Det er der ikke noget at gøre ved - det kan ikke nytte at piske sig selv på ryggen med 7 skorpioner over alt det man IKKE når. Så jeg flytter fokus, og konstaterer at jeg er ganske tilfreds. Rigtig tilfreds, faktisk. Omsætningsrekord midt under en finanskrise - det er vist slet ikke så ringe endda....
2012 er et nyt rent stykke papir, som kun venter på at blive skrevet på. Det glæder jeg mig til. Lige nu er det morgen. Solen er ved at stå op, og farver himlen orange bag sorte grene, et øjeblik. Omlidt kommer lyset, og energien. Det bliver en god dag. Og det bliver et godt år.
Rigtig godt nytår til alle.

PS: Se lige kortet her. Vi synes jo det er en hyggelig gammel bil. Men i 1908 hvor kortet vist er fra, var den fancy og NY!...sjovt.

SJOVESTE juletekst !! Læs den :-)
Dr's P2 har lige spillet en MORSOM version af den gamle engelske julevise, som vi alle kender. Linket på p2's Facebook side virker ikke, så jeg poster bare teksten her. Måske får DR linket til at virke senere, så finder du det her:

A Correspondence

25th December
My dearest darling
That partridge, in that lovely little pear tree! What a
enchanting, romantic,poetic present! Bless you and thank you.
Your deeply loving Emily
26th December
Mr dearest darling Edward
The two turtle doves arrived this morning and are cooing
away in the pear tree as I write. I'm so touched and
grateful.
With undying love, as always, Emily
27th December
My darling Edward
You do thinks of the most original presents: whoever
thought of sending anybody three French hens? Do they really
come all the way from France? It's a pity that we have no
chicken coops, but I expect we'll find some. Thank you,
anyway, they're lovely.
Your loving Emily

Dearest Edward
What a surprise - four calling birds arrived this morning.
They are very sweet, even if they do call rather loudly -
they make telephoning impossible. Bit I expect they'll calm
down when they get used to their new home. Anyway, I'm very
grateful - of course I am.
Love from Emily

Dearest Edward
The postman has just delivered five most beautiful gold
rings, one for each finger, and all fitting perfectly. A
really lovely present -lovelier in a way than birds, which do
take rather a lot of looking after. The four that arrived
yesterday are still making a terrible row, and I'm afraid
none of use got much sleep last night. Mummy says she wants
us to use the rings to 'wring' their necks - she's only
joking, I think; though I know what she means. But I love
the rings. Bless you
Love, Emily
30th December
Dear Edward
Whatever I expected to find when I opened the front door
this morning, it certainly wasn't six socking great geese
laying eggs all over the doorstep. Frankly, I rather hoped
you had stopped sending me birds - we have no room for them
and they have already ruined the croquet lawn. I know you
meant well, but - let's call a halt, shall we?
Love, Emily
31st December
Edward
I thought I said no more birds; but this morning I woke up
to find no less than seven swans all trying to get into our
tiny goldfish pond. I'd rather not thinks what happened to
the goldfish. The whole house seems to be full of birds - to
say nothing of what they leave behind them. Please, please
STOP
Your Emily
1st January
Frankly, I think I prefer the birds. What am I to do with
eight milkmaids - AND their cows? Is this some kind of a
joke? If so, I'm afraid I don't find it very amusing.
Emily
2nd January
Look here Edward, this has gone far enough. You say you're
sending me nine ladies dancing; all I can say is that judging
from the way they dance, they're certainly not ladies. The
village just isn't accustomed to seeing a regiment of
shameless hussies with nothing on but their lipstick
cavorting round the green - and it's Mummy and I who get
blamed. If you value our friendship - which I do less and
less - kindly stop this ridiculous behaviour at once.
Emily
3rd January
As I write this letter, ten disgusting old men are
prancing abour all over what used to be the garden -before
the geese and the swans and the cows got at it; and several
of them, I notice, are taking inexcusable liberties with the
milkmaids. Meanwhile the neighbours are trying to have us
evicted. I shall never speak to you again.
Emily
4th January
This is the last straw. You know I detest bagpipes. The
place has now become something between a menagerie and a
madhouse and a man from the Council has just declared it
unfit for habitation. At least Mummy has been spared this
last outrage; they took her away yesterday afternoon in an
ambulance. I hope you're satisfied.
5th January
Sir
Our client, Miss Emily Wilbraham, instructs me to inform
you that with the arrival on her premises a half-past seven
this morning of the entire percussion section of the
Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and several of their friends
she has no course left open to her but to seek an injunction
to prevent your importuning her further. I am making
arrangements for the return of much assorted livestock.
I am, Sir, Yours faithfully,
