Silent

We are here! We are actually here in November - have never been here so late in the year before, but it's nice. So quiet, almost as if the surroundings don't breath anymore but are holding the breath until next spring. It's cold, yes, but not unbearable yet - and as you see, Frida Viola managed to find the absolutely last summer flowers left. We haven't been doing much - just walking around, eating cinnamon rolls and reading Swedish children's books. Tomorrow: a flea market.

Right Now

In a few moments, when I have finished my coffee, I will pick up Frida Viola.
A little later A will come home.
And tomorrow we will wake up at this place...

Hopefully the house will not be too cold, hopefully the mice have not inhabited the whole place, and hopefully I will be able to post from there.

The sourdough will go with us - have to nurse it all the time...

Teeny Tiny

Teeny Tiny makes beautiful crochet and knitted clothes and toys for the little ones.
Just look at the little hedgehog below - how nice it must be for litlle fingers to cuddle this friendly little fellow...The dyes are all natural and everything is handmade.

Autumn Wedding

This weekend we went to some friends' wedding...

It was held in this beautiful house on a little island... almost magical with the fog and the autumn colours.

We had to go there by boat - a hundred people...

The house had so many beautiful old handcrafted details - like these carvings.

We all helped preparing the dinner - lots of nice talking while chopping...

and to decorate the dining hall with leaves and berrier from the surrounding woods...

And the bride's mom had made lots of cookies, stored in beautiful old cans...

Now we are tired and filled with beautiful impressions. Hope you had a nice weekend as well.

My Home Today

It has been foggy and grey all day. All colours seem softened and douce. We still play outside before going inside in the afternoon. The other kids are wearing snowsuits now. I still stick to the warm jacket a little while more - the season of snowsuits is terrible long.

Favorites

These two waited at me when I came home last night - so much like eachother. Both with the same hoodies and both with a little bit of yogurt around the mouth. Today: Very good bread from the little biodynamic bakery Jeremys in Århus - one of my favorites when I lived there.

I also went to this little shop, recommended by Sophie from fine dage - and brought new woolen underwear for both Frida Viola and me with me home - it's getting colder.

Urban Farming

Yesterday I went to Århus on a one-day-trip for a meeting. But I also had time to "re-investigate" my old town, so rarely visited since we moved to Copenhagen. I had my coffee at Lynfabrikken and enjoyed just sitting there browsing in all their nice books. This one particularly catched my eye - "My Green City. Back to Nature with Attitude and Style" - filled with sympathetic projects and beautiful photos.
