nonchalant mum

found these gorgeous photos on the Cookie Magazine website...It's Carina Schott's house outside NYC. She is the founder of Nonchalant Mum http://www.nonchalantmom.com/ a fab online kids clothes shop pulling together a lot of cool brands including a lot from Scandinavia. She is also writer of a blog which talk about a lot of things that interest me right now, kids, family, food and natural and alternative living. http://nonchalantmom.blogspot.com/

I just love the light, easy scandinavian feel of her house. The Josef Frank fabric behind her and the happy bright rug from Ikea ( we have the same one in red). And don't get me started on the sand pit. Alvar would go NUTS for it....

winter

A New Year walk along the very cold and crisp sea in Lund, Sweden. Blue skies and sunshine. Then home to a warm mug of cocoa and cinnamon rolls.
