{ Bloomingville Spring/Summer 2011 }

I always get happy when I see a new collection from Bloomingville. Their products are always delightful, and so are their photos.

Let me present Bloomingville Spring/Summer 2011!

As you can see they have a lot of pastels, driftwood, baskets and industrial look in their new collection. I think it looks great when you mix them all together. Their style is very feminine and delicate.

What do you think of their new collection? Do you see anything that you like?
I LOVE IT!

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Light Up The New Year with Fire and Ice!!

Happy New Year!! We will be outdoors tonight enjoying some fireworks on New Year's Eve. We will be watching them from a dear friend's beautiful outdoor patio. I was trying to come up with a wonderful hostess gift and decided to make some Ice Sculpture Luminaries.

I have always been fascinated by the the combination of Fire and Ice. I love the warm ambiance it creates. Of course they can be made with just water, but I love the rustic feeling the addition of evergreens and pinecones bring. Here is a wonderful how to pictorial I found:

You need two bowls, one much larger than the other. Fill 1/3 of the large bowl with water. Add pinecones and evergreens.

Place the smaller bowl inside the larger bowl

Weight the smaller bowl down with a large rock. Freeze several hours outdoors or in your freezer - it's been so cold that for us outdoors works fine!!

To unmold run warm water over the larger bowl to release ice sculpture. Add a candle and enjoy!

Happy New Year, my friends!! Looking forward to sharing even more wonderful things with you in 2011!!

{ Bathroom details }

Do you think about the details in your bathroom? I have to admit that this is a room I often forget, even here on my blog. But today I found these wonderful products on the website Bolina that I thought I could share with you.

  I love the natural look of these products.

Do you buy special soaps or other details that makes your bathroom prettier?

The Norwegian store "Bolina" has a lot of other lovely decoration and furniture as well, so if you want to view more, you can visit their homepage here (Norwegian text)
