A Library Find

I love libraries, and I'm grateful that we have great (and free) libraries here in Finland. Last time, I found this awesome book, Making a House Your Home, The EssentialGuide to Modern Day Homemaking by Clare Nolan. 

If you have a chance to buy or borrow this book, do it! The book is full of beautiful photos, plus the text parts are not the usual blah blah. Great tips and ideas. 

What is your personal style?

The world wide web is full of fun style quizzes. HERE you can find one. According to this test my style is:

50% Rustic Revival

33% Cottage Chic

17% Modern Elegance

This is our chocolate labrador retriever, Tilli, meeting her new pal, Unna, for the first time. Her expression is pretty funny when she notices Unna sleeping on the floor.

Easy Ice Lanterns

I made these super easy ice lanterns, or ice bowls, whatever you want to call them. 

All you need is balloons, water and a freezer(or just freezing weather). If you let them freeze naturally, meaning outside, the ice will be more transparent.
