Spring is all about lightness

I´ve had a wonderful Easter Holiday with a lot of good food and chocolate! And of course I´ve been spending some time outside, while the weather was wonderful. The nature is waking up showing colours and shades you seldom see. Walking in the forest is a treat thank´s to the birdlife - I love it! The lightness of everything is present and I remember the elegant Cosmosflower "Vega White" that I grew in my garden last summer. Longlasting both in the flowerpatch and as a cutflower. It´s a given this summer too. In the meanwhile the collection of plants on my windowshelf is growing in every sense.

Bright and basic

Saw theese wonderfully bright cups in a shop last week. I liked the colours - all of them. Nice next to white porcelaine or all these bright colours mixed together. The happy colourmix reminds me of the tulipbulbs I planted last autumn. Hoping for them to show up in a month or so, as the snow has started to melt for real this week.

Spring is here

Finally the light has changed. You can feel that spring is here, though the surrounding nature is sparkling white. The first plants are already potted and the collection of sprouts fills up my window. I even managed to get into the greenhouse the other day, after digging my way through the piles of snow. I really enjoy this time of year!

Happy New Year 2011!

It´s been a cold winter so far. But beautiful and amazing also! Happy New Year 2011!
