Fritt

A few weeks ago one of my colleagues brought me a packet of this candy back from a day-trip in Germany. She ate it throughout her whole childhood and when she heard I had never tried it, she fixed that instantly. I'm so glad she did: it was super yummy, and I thought the inner packaging was super cute. Don't you think?

Neon pink pompons for Matilda

My favourite little Matilda turned four yesterday, and I made her a present in her favourite colour: pink. (And as I'm sure you could have guessed, I had to make it neon pink because, well... as we have already assessed the other day, I'm completely obsessed!).
I bought a cute little belt which I coupled with a simple white t-shirt and a matching pompon broach and hairclip that I made for her. The pompons are so easy (and fun) to make! I've been using this technique ever since i saw it on Creature Comforts; it works perfectly.


P.S. Just in case you didn't believe my obsession with neon, go check out my toe nails, candles, striped top, necklace, garland, and tea towel. Aarg!

Stripes all around

I couldn't resist showing you two more photos mum took the other day... aren't we cute, all in stripes?

Neon necklace

Just in case you were still doubting whether I was obsessed with neon colours or not, here's yet another post which will clearly show you I'm pretty much ready for the detox center. :-)

Let me introduce you to... my neon yellow necklace!


I made it a few weeks ago by spray painting a necklace I bought at H&M. First a layer of white, then bright yellow, and voila!

The adorable little man reading me a story is my cousin's wonderful son... it was so good to spend some time with him and with the rest of the family; I can't wait for the next time I'll see them all again!

iPhone wallpaper, by Nina Campbell (via)

I chose this wonderful wallpaper today because it reminds me of my grand-mum's garden where I was last weekend... this way I'll think of her and of that lovely sunny afternoon every time I look at my phone.

:-)


P.S. make sure you go and check the other Nina Campbell iPhone wallpapers on this page; they are all so pretty!

Happy peonies on my kitchen table...

Fondue by the lake

One of the best things to do over here in our part of Switzerland when the weather is nice, is to go and have fondue by the lake in the early evening... the light is truly amazing and the combination of the beautifully clear water, the vineyards, and the alps in the background makes it the perfect spot for a family evening.

Last night we even had a little friend come by to taste some of our bread...


Photos are from all of us. Dad's camera kept going from one person to another.
