Bought and won in August:

I was lucky to win a give-away at Elle designs; a nice necklace made out of a Scrabble-piece!
I wore it to work and got a lot of compliments for it...

"Good housekeeping" is a joke in my home, as cleaning the house is my least favorite activity....

And the piece is a "L" offcourse - hey! Only 1 point for an "L"? Outrageous....

You can get one here (they´re very reasonably priced):

I also bought a pair of earrings from Laterna Smykker for a wedding in September.
I´ve made a bracelet with fresh water pearls, and these will fit perfectly! Picture of bracelet coming soon, it´s in the making.

More lovely, hand made items, can be found here:

A small pause since 22.07.....

Since 22.07. I haven´t found too much to say, I´ve been a bit paralyzed I guess.
Anyway, I´ll get back to blogging again soon.

Roses grow in my garden, tomatoes too.
I enjoy a quiet moment, a cup of matcha, freshly made,
a hinoki-wood cup with sake.
Visitors from abroad.
A day off in my yukata, no need to dress up.
I let my hands run through soaked soya beans that soon will be made into tofu....

I look out of my window, dawn is pink and yellow,
lights from Oslo shining.
We are safe here.
Life is good,
I am blessed.
