A bowl of Spring


Here in Stockholm Spring is very slow in coming so I helped it along with this simple arrangement of white pansys in a large beautiful cream ware punch bowl from Rörstrand. It´s from the serie´s Svart Sverige (Black Sweden- a dramatic name no?) and the motive on the bowl is from Tullgarn Castle.
Good. Well then, now I feel much better :)

Old and new


Just a snapshot from my home. It was so beautiful with the old faded mirror and the twigs with spring green buds of life.
That you can´t really see in the photo. Well, imagine  then..

One of the most beautiful secretaires...


  

 ..that I´ve ever had. Original cream paint and salmon on the inside. These shades I see copied on gustavian style furniture all over the place but this is the real deal! And real gustavian period as well.

I love making poetic arrangements, furniture like this makes it so easy..  


 I have a  lion theme here. This is a ceramic "piggy-bank". Very rare and understandably so because one has to break it to get the money out.


More lions on this old book. Why don´t we have covers like this anymore?

Next to come are photos from the fair in Stockholm, not to be missed!
For some reason the photos in this post have been cropped, don´t ask me why..(or give nice advice)
I have used my Iphone and that camera really is no good-maybe that system doesn´t match the blog´s. Anyway; if you click on the images you can see them with the right proportions.
