Happy New Year!

I wish you all a very Happy New Year!!!! Now I'm off to buy some champagne..... See ya next year!!!

Mad me...

I haven't watched more than a random half episode... People tell me on a daily basis to watch the show because I look like I fit right in...
But for now I've Mad Men'ed myself... maybe I'll watch the show someday....

Love Bird

I miss our parakeet... We had her for almost 7 years but in April this year she got sick and died...
She was a big English parakeet -so cute and very social, loved sitting on my shoulder when I was walking around the house or taking a nap on my belly when I watched TV. She was snow white but she had a pink mineral stone she would rub against and thus she turned pink -we girls love a bit of rouge;)

I'm hoping that we can get a new bird sometime soon I miss having an animal and since cats and dogs aren't allowed where we live a parakeet is a very good alternative.

Happy Holidays!!!!

I'm spending Christmas at my parents house and yesterday the weather was amazing so I went for a walk in the forest right next to their house...
It was so beautiful I must have taken a hundred photos -I'll share a few with you...

Today there is a massive snowstorm... Many thousands of people will not be able to travel and spend Christmas with their family and loved ones. I'm hoping my husband will be able join us today and that my husband and I can come back home tomorrow... That's the prize you pay for having a white Christmas I guess...
I wish you all a very merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Betty!!!

Today is Betty Grables birthday... She would have been 94.

Here she is looking like Christmas morning (I know I said the same thing last year -it's now officially a tradition..)

I'll celebrate her by wearing some gold tinsel and doing the shimmy..

I miss you Krispy Kremes

It is impossible to find a decent doughnut in Denmark.. We don't have any doughnut shops or chains, the only place you find doughnuts are at SevenEleven and the bakers and they are nothing like my favorites from Krispy Kremes! I've had Halloween specials and Valentine specials but never any Christmas specials... -Look what I'm missing out on! I'm drooling....

Paper pin up

I made this pin up for my husband for our 1 year anniversary... The traditional first year anniversary gift is paper so I thought this was a special and personal way to do it.

Oh Christmas tree......

Here it is! Our Christmas tree! -It's been up since late November... We bought it in Las Vegas  a little over a year ago and I love it! I wanted to buy a real tree as well since we have the space for it now but a decent size tree costs about $90 so the white plastic will have to do this year...

Cuddly

Well I guess tea alone isn't enough to keep me warm but this photo of Brando with a kitten might do the trick...

Tea, please...

I'm back! We finally got a stable and fast internet connection so I can keep up with all your wonderful blogs and even share a bit with you....
Winter has certainly arrived... We have lots of snow and temperatures below -15 Celcius/5 Fahrenheit at night and -3/25 during the day, add strong winds to that and everything is practically frozen solid.. including me! I was sick all last week and still feel a bit under the weather but I do drink a lot of tea with honey so I should be back on my feet soon.
We bought this darling Bambi teapot on our trip in September..

..and I'm dreaming about this gem I found on the net....

That's all for now... I'll be back soon with photos of our Christmas tree....

Come On-A My House

We've finally moved into our new apartment -it's big and wonderful and I can't wait to get settled. I've unpacked the most necessary but we kinda still live in boxes, we don't have a TV and for most part no internet connection.... But I love it!!!! :) Hopefully later today I'll be able to put all my clothes back on hangers in the closet and I might even put my books on shelves.
I'll post pictures as soon as possible!

For now you can enjoy this song...

Chip 'n' Dale

I met Chip 'n Dale at a parking lot by Red Rock...

At first they were checking me out....

Closer....

Then Chip came to me...

Dale was a bit shy but caved in, I guess I was irresistible...

-might have been the popcorn though..

Natures finest...

I've never been good at watching series on TV. The only one I've ever watched every episode of was LOST. Everyone has been telling me to watch Mad Men but I never really got into it (not really fair since I've only watched one episode..) but now I've fallen for Boardwalk Empire...
I watched the first episode when I was on holiday in the States and I've been hooked ever since, I mean, what's not to love? -the roaring 20's, AMAZING costumes (both the ladies and the gents!), gansters and Steve Buscemi.....

Now there is one image in particular I cannot get out of  my head -this one:

My favorite color for Fall and ermine!

Now sadly I have no money to spend on something as wonderful as vintage ermine fur right now -all I have is a 50's vintage ermine headband I found in San Diego and I do not have any golden, mustard velvet but I do have a marvelous shirt of that color. Guess it'll have to do for now.

Well once again fashion isn't really doing anything that nature hasn't already done, just look at this amazing Ermine Moth.... Perfect color combo!

 Guess what's on my list for Christmas... Ermine scarves! or money to make my own...

Faire Frou Frou

I finally got around to editing a few of the photos we took on our trip last month, I needed a break from putting everything in boxes (moving day is Sunday!!!)


When we went to LA I had the chance to visit the wonderful lingerie shop Faire Frou Frou and meet the darling Alison who runs it.

 Alison does not only look gorgeous she's also sweet as pie... and her accents is to die for! (please excuse my sour expression I wasn't feeling to great -the blasted LA fog was giving me a cold and a sore throat..)

The shop is an absolute gem of a boudoir, I literally want every single thing in there. I'm afraid we didn't have any money to shop for (felt quite embarassed about that...) but they do have a webshop and I will surely go back next time! See her lovely blog here and make sure you visit the shop if you're in the area:)

I won!!!!!

I won a give away! It's the first time I've ever won anything (other than a game of cards...) -and how lucky am I to win at a time where my funds are at an all time low....
The give away was hosted by one of my favorite blogs Fashion Forestry, who is hosting another give away right now for the curvy ladies, hurry, hurry!
The prize I won was $50 credit at the wonderful Etsy shop Bohemian Bisoux. If I had had more money to spend I would surely have bought much more..... Go take a look I'm sure you can find something.
This is what I chose:

The Marchesa 

The Celestine

The Beatriz

Aren't they just divine?! She names all the items in her shop, so cute.
You can never have too many hats or too many frilly nightgowns, right?....
Thank you so much to the darling Nicole and lovely Lauren:)
-and now I'll pass my luck on to you!

Give away!!!!!!! Not mine..... even better!!!!

The amazing Nicole from Fashion Forestry is hosting a wonderful give away!!! Look!!!!!!!!! If you don't already know Fashion Forestry or Bohemian Bisoux Vintage I suggest you hurry!!!!!!

Monday night

Enjoying a pleasant Monday evening watching old cartoons and reading ghost stories..
My husband, daughter and I carved pumpkins yesterday (you can see them on my Twitter and Facebook profile -I'm too lazy to edit the photos for the blog right now....) and they look so pretty and eerie when they're lit outside, I'm really looking forward to Halloween this year...
That's all... Oh, wait...

-Watch this!

Friday Favorites

Just a few random photos today for inspiration... and good news!
