The food you can find at the wet markets in Shanghai is great fun to try out. I promised my kids to bring them some off their favourites for this season. Pomelo is one of them. This wet market is located at Xinle – Donghu Lu.

And healthy crackers with avocado, cheese and tomato. I am full and … Läs mer
At one of the best locations in Stockholm, the newly opened HM Home at Biblioteksgatan. I must say that it was very inspirational in the shop. Lots of little must haves.. And free hibiscus tea and chocolate. My Syrian friend thought the tea was for plants.
I am slowly going through our attic, and today I found this old carpet. I had it dry cleaned before I put it there, so it was just to find a place for it.. It ended up in our main entrance. Looks good, isn’t it?..
So autumn is really here, and I changed to my new custom made green velvet curtains. Cozy and dark in the room. Some candles, and all is set for the autumn! Bring it on!!

Skansen, ett oas i Stockholm! Jag har säkert varit här 150 gånger minst..

Fantastiskt snällt! Så nu har jag gjort … Läs mer
