happy shiny, bright, new years eve! i hope it turns out brilliant, wherever you are!

one day til’ new years eve. so that means one last day for some holidays photos, hehe. although they might as well be for new years eve, with all the exiting biking and so. via this flickr and this blog.

it sure is reassuring to watch a workspace from above. much nicer than having to deal with it from the table. oh, the luxury of having some time off, i can even appreciate a workspace. from afar i mean.

flowery tiles, bright red hair, chimney smoke. via one of my favorite bloggers: elsa billgren. noone tells a story like her. if i could make a movie and choose a directing-partner, it would be her.

house of geometrical patterns, chocolate flowers and camel dresses. as if they were part of some kind of movie.

playful and not too traditional christmas decorating, via vtwonen.

peppercookie houses, fir trees in linen and homemade package cards. i’m very into the whole christmas thing right now.

i’m always on the look for the perfect cookbook, both visually and recipe-wisely and i think i might have found it, and so close to christmas time too (this will make a perfect present for my seafood-loving dad). nothing makes me want to pack my bags and go live in a cottage by the sea as much as this. sole meunière, bleak roe toast with ice cold beer and hake with garlic and lentils. it kind of makes me feel the smell of ocean, even though i’m in stockholm in not the best of weather conditions.

the book is called Hav (ocean in swedish) and is by the owners of an excellent sea food store called Hav in Hötorgshallen in Stockholm. can be bought by their counters in Hötorgshallen or by calling +468 20 30 03
