Firestarter

I was browsing through the Etsy shop of George and Willy, drooling over the daily roller for groceries and the round sign for a bit of in punch in the hallway when I saw this fire starting kit.
I know, I know, it's almost June, but I can't help it. I have fires, Christmas and marshmallows roasting on the brain. Yes, my brain is a frightfully delightful but oddball kind of place...

But back to the fire starter. Totally perfect. I mean, seriously, do you see me with a kindling and paper? I'm scared every time I light a candle! This kit is seriously easy and not to forget aesthetically pleasing. Light stone. Place stone in fireplace. Bob's your uncle.

Glasses love

Barcelona days

We had a couple of days in Barcelona. The thing I love about the city is the architecture. The most amazing, detailed, buildings mixed in with grand open spaces, little courtyards and windy streets. An our favorite thing to do? Dinner and drinks.. Thanks babe.

Brass bed

Not quick to DIY. Also not one to jump on the brass bandwagon right away. And then I saw this headboard made from a sheet of polished brass and now I'm thinking of ways to get rid of our current one..

Raspberry-strawberry cheesecake mess

Still very much in a fruit mood. With a chicken and peach salad for dinner. But my fruit fix was not met yet. I still craved something sweet and fruity and oh so right now. Out with the more elaborate treat I had planned and in came the good old-fashioned ease and lighting speed of cobbler. I mean it does not get better than rum roasted raspberries and strawberries. Except rum-roasted berries with dollops of vanilla flavoured creamcheese and spoonfuls of cinnamon sugary goodness!

Peptalk

I had to share the coolest, most totally honest view of parenting around. The peptalk for parents cards by Studio Flash are spot on. I'm continuously bouncing between 'no' and 'whatever, is it bedtime yet?' So I can totally relate..except on sleep being the new sex. :)

Have a great, extra long weekend!
