Our first half-year with Monty.
We’ve been dog owners for six months, and it’s strange to imagine how life was before he entered. It’s a joy far bigger than my expectations.
I´m old fashioned in many ways.
Ever since I was a little girl I've loved traditions and Christmas is the biggest one. Due to the current situation in the world, I'll use the tradition as a shield this year.
Norrviken park in Båstad
I’ve been in love with the Bjäre area for many years. It’s a lovely piece of Sweden with a hilly landscape and a fertile agricultural land. This is where the first potatoes and strawberries of the season in Sweden grow.
Enjoy art in quarantine times.
In times of quarantine one has to enjoy art where it’s given. Like looking into the wonderful world of choreographer Alexander Ekman in The escapist on SVT play. He’s a master of using the full space at the Royal Opera and he uses the 36 dancers from the royal ballet in group as well as individually. Serious with humor.
A language of his own.
My way of dealing with life from home in these special times.
My way of dealing with life in these special times is keeping up the routines. Starting the day like always- a good breakfast, make the bed, take my shower and get dressed.
I used to love paper dolls as a girl
It started with the ones I got that my mother made when she was a girl. And she’s a really good cartoonist. Her paper dolls looked liked movie stars. And they have were dressed accordingly. So good looking! Then I got into the collecting period.I remember the winter holidays at my grandparents. Enjoying quiet afternoons in the sofa with magazines containing paper dolls to cut out. Mostly famous people like Abba members.The paper doll could be glued to a more solid paper for durability. Even mom was a paper doll in the sixties. Not as herself. I think she was a nurse.
My 4 Role Models and why we need them in our strive for elegance
We should always strive to be our best. That considers some thought.
First, what would be best for me? When do I like myself? What and who makes me be a better version of myself? I like things moving and I don’t like reinventing any wheel so let’s go to the fast track.
My Relationship with Piero Fornasetti
My relationship with Piero Fornasetti (1913 - 1988) starts with the small bowls my parents used for candy as well as nuts and olives when we had guests. Ever since I’ve been drawn to his world of letters, architecture, the black and white and the humour
My Life as a Cheerleader
I’ve spent many hours as a cheerleader. Now don’t misunderstand, I don’t do acrobatic moves with Pom poms in a group. My group was usually not moving more than the hands clapping and the group where most parents but we were cheering for sure!I’ve been in several cheer parent groups. Soccer, tennis, horse shows, basketball, and swimming to name a few.
The Elegance of Taking One Task at the time.
A path for elegance is having a flow in life that moves you in a seamlessly effortless way forward. Too much to do creates stress. Too little to do also creates stress. The perfect balance is hard to achieve. But is it really?
