Happy New Year!

I never got a chance to wish you merry christmas, so a belated merry christmas and a happy new year! We had such a good time spending christmas eve and christmas day at my parents place. Then every December 26th since I was a little girl, my moms family meets for a  christmas family party. My mom has 7 siblings, and my grandmother has 16 grandkids so you can only imagine all the noise we make. Either way, we always have a lot of fun!

Happy new year! Hope 2014 was great and 2015 will be even better!

My Christmas Angel

My mom is such a handy and inventive woman. Ever since I can remember she has loved to make stuff. Especially knitting and crocheting.

She made me the angel you can see down below. I do think I can use it all year around, but I decided to make it a part of my christmas decorations. Now every year when we put up our christmas decorations I will think of my mom when we  get to this angel, and I hope that someday I will be as inventive as she's always been!

Believe in the magic of the season

Decorating For Christmas Time

I am one of the biggest christmas lovers ever. I absolutely love December and all that's to it. We decided to put up our christmas decorations early this year. The tradition here in Norway is that you put up your christmas decorations on December 22nd or 23rd, and it stays up until 5th or 6th of January.

Last year, in 2013, I put ours up November 30th. You can only imagine all the surprised looks I got from the people visiting us the next month. This year, 2014, I put they up 7th of December. 

Our christmas decorations are a good mix of mine, his and everything we brought from our parents place when we moved out. I can't wait until we got our own house and I can go out shopping for christmas decorations. I love the warm and cozy feeling christmas brings!

Gold, White & Green

Can you spot my small christmas trees with snow on them? I absolutely love them! They're from a store called Søstrene Grene, and they were about $2 each. It might be a little early putting up christmas decorations, but these I find fine!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

The only thing missing in Copenhagen was snow. Hopefully we'll have snow in both Norway and Denmark in a month. doesn't this look beautiful though, even without the snw? I can't imagine how breathtaking it would have been with snow.

Winter Trip: Copenhagen

From saturday until monday we were on the DFDS cruise from Oslo to Copenhagen. This was my first time in Copenhagen, but boy am I going back. I loved all the christmas decorations in Tivoli(an amusement park), and if I could I would have spent a whole month there. Joy oh joy, the christmas spirit was all around!

A Tray Full Of Roses

Who Wouldn't Want This? Yum!

New In: Couch

As I already told you, we decided it was time to make some changes around here. The first one was to get a new table. The second one was to get a new couch! And boy did we find it. This one is also bought used, but you can't tell. It's super light weight, and you can split it into four pieces.

I am finding this dark grey color a bit hard to match my interior. I tend to think everything  looks too bold or too "harsh". The lighter beige color we had on our old couch was a lot easier to match! I'm sure I will get the hang of it, but it will take me some time.

Cozy Living Room For Fall

Could these pictures scream fall any louder? No, I didn't think so. I love the warm and cozy feeling these pictures give me. I just want to cuddle up under a blanket and watch a movie. 

New In: Table

We decided it was time to make some changes around here, and the first thing was to get a new table for our living room! We really liked this one. It's bought used from a family that lived about a 20 minute drive from us. I really like the "rooms" on the side. They go all around.
