Don't mind my crazy face; check out my new pretty iPhone case! It's made of bamboo! (Bought it on etsy of course, from the shop
TWoodzing.)
Back to work today. Will blog lots of nice posts later this week, I promise.
Until then:
Tjingeling!
David and I went on an evening walk the other day. The sun was setting after a lovely summer's day.
We walked past the big farm house down the road and this little guy glared at us from under the door.
It is so beautiful here. Österlen (the south of Sweden) is my absolute favourite place.
We walked up to the lonely tree.
Sometimes you have to stop, breath and look around.
Or you can do as I did. Well, I don't really know what I did.
Dance a bit in the middle of a field.
The sheep live a happy life here.
Today I've been to one fleamarket and later in the evening it's time for a second one. I'm sure I will show you all of my finds later (and maybe brag a little too).
This past week or so has gone by so quickly. I have mostly been documenting the days with my phone so let's see what I've been up to.
I worked a couple of days around midsummer and this was the sight at the bus stop close to my work.
Have a seat, sort of...
I have been eating lot's of strawberries. Here together with mango.
And here in front of the computer, working at home for my own business.
I received my new fancy sunglasses from
Tumbleweeds Handcraft. They are covered in veneer from different kinds of wood. I love them so much!
I have been taking loads of jewelry photos and pimping my
shop a bit.
I have been making jewelry. Both custom orders...
...and colourful pieces to go in the shop some day.
One day the first ever Cage Diamond Necklace Pendant was born. I am going to make more of these, for sure!
Gothenburg finally got some lovely weather after some time with rain rain rain. I met some new friends from USA and showed them around town.
I made a still life of the beach treasures I found in Thailand. It's like a plate of summer!
One of my best friends Becka came over for dinner one evening. We talked for hours and had coffee and strawberries for dessert.
I have been taking photos of my legs.
As you do when you have different coloured legs every single day.
I arrived at my parent's summer house. We had some friends over for a few days.
I had brought with me an old wooden jigsaw puzzle that I found on a fleamarket a few weeks ago. Me and my mother collects these and I wanted to try it with her. On the back it says it had all the pieces in 1951, -52, -55 and -61.
I am going to add 2012 to it now. Isn't it adorable!?
I hope you're having a lovely summer, or what ever season it may be where you live.
I'm off to drink a cup of coffee in the garden with my parents.
Tjingeling!
Let's start this very last Thailand post with some green.
One day we went to see the elephants. It was quite sad actually. The elephants were awesome but we couldn't really shake off the feeling that they weren't totally happy with their lives.
Here lies Claes ready for some belly massage.
After the show it was time for elephant riding. It took forever (60 minutes!) and we felt kind of bored after ten minutes. But it was beautiful surroundings for some parts of the ride.
And we liked when the elephant wanted to eat the tree instead of walking the way his master wanted him to go.
One night we went to the Cicada market. I had read about it on the internet before but all I knew was that it should be more arts and crafts than most Thai markets.
I immediately fell in love!
They had food carts all over the place, lamps in the trees and amazing crafts to buy!
I mean, just LOOK at the place! I want a place like this in Gothenburg. An entire park with delicious food, arts and crafts and places to hang out - open every friday to sunday! AMAZING!
We looked closely at all the food carts before we decided what to eat. And we actually ate desserts first before we realised we probably should eat some real food too. Love to be an adult and eat in the wrong order!
When it was dark the lights in the trees made it look all magical.
I was twenty meters behind on the way out, wanting to stay as long as I could.
When we left I felt I have to return to this place some day. Next time we come to Thailand whenever that might be.
Our last day in Thailand was spent at the beach. It was crazy hot and it was hard to move at all without turning in to a big sweat pond.
We made this beach bed ours and ordered in some fruit drinks.
The sand was insanely hot so for me to stand still and take this photo was a real challenge.
A tiny boat on the ocean! This looks like some sort of childrens book illustration to me. I think it would be about someone running away on the big, big ocean and experience new worlds that you thought only existed in the imagination.
David and his audio recorder capturing the sound of the waves.
Look, he's dancing in the dinstance.
And that was all from our Thailand trip. It was truly amazing and we experienced so many things.
Today we booked a trip to South Africa for later this year. A friend of mine is getting married there and I am going to be their wedding photographer. This year is one crazy travel adventure.
