Time to get toasty

So, September is here, and in Scandinavia that means it's time to get geared up for chilly autumn walks in chunky knits and evenings spent around a kakelugn (Swedish tiled fireplace) sipping glögg (mulled wine). No one does autumn / winter better than Toast. So here are a few inspiring pictures from their beautiful A/W 2012 house & home collection to get us in the spirit. All the leaves are brown.....

Toast

This weekend I was invited to a lovely lunch at friend and fellow interior blogger Mette's beautiful home here in Skåne. Mette and her man are particularly brilliant at DIY, so if you're looking for a few new projects (always?!) check out Make Living blog for a little know-how. We also visited the fab shop Black Balloon where I bought a pretty silver plant pot and a very simple, ultra soft black top - to celebrate errr, the start of a new month?

I hope you had a great weekend too!

Relaxing.. in So. Cal..

 

Just a little of what we have going on this long weekend..  Flea markets, relaxing and reading, lazy doggies and setting up vignettes around the house.

I hope you are having  wonderful weekend!

Fresh Fresh

I feel so fortunate that we have a new Farmer's Market here right by the house every Thursday now.  It is so nice to have fresh French bread, fruit and veggies.  This week both kids went with me and they had to taste everything before they made their choices.  It was fun to watch them decide which peaches and grapes they prefered.  We typically will have fruit, bread and cheese with wine on these nights for dinner so we can enjoy how fresh everything is.  

I also fell in love with my new linens that came in for the shop... love the rainbow accent on these hand towels so much fun!
