Christmas shopping

 

The snow is back here in Copenhagen. Yesterday it seemed to come down all day and it was so cold and windy. It looks beautiful when you're sitting inside, all warm and cosy, but it wasn't fun to be out in! This year I've ordered most of the christmas presents online (fingers crossed that they'll be delivered in time for christmas!),but I still have a lot of food shopping to do, so hopefully we'll have some nice weather next week. 

Hope you have a great weekend!

Driving home for christmas...

Sorry about the blog-silence these last couple of days, had a lot to think about with the funeral this week. It was a long day that ended with a long drive back to Copenhagen.

Took these photos on another night we were driving home through the darkness. They remind me of the Chris Rea christmas song:

...top to toe in tail-lights

Oh, I got red lights on the run

I'm driving home for christmas, yea

Get my feet on holy ground...

December red

Weekend wishes

Photos from Tivoli where the fake snow has been spreading christmas cheer since mid-november. Since then we've had plenty of the real thing!

I hope you all have a great weekend with good friends and family, and thanks for all the kind words these last couple of days.

Warm hearts

I've added this picture to the right side of the blog. It reads: I support the festival of hearts. Some generous danish bloggers have started a big christmas give away and I've donated my three small paintings as part of the price. To take part in the lottery, one must buy a ticket at Mødrehjælpen , a humanitarian organization where all the money donated will be used to give less fortunate families a nice christmas.

I feel as I've already won by being part of this great event.

Peace

My grandmother died this morning. She has been very ill lately and a big part of me is grateful that she won't suffer anymore, that she is at peace now. And then there is the small, selfish part of me that wishes she could have stayed here just a bit longer! She was much loved and I will miss her terribly...

I'm so lucky!

 

Today I picked up a giant package from the post office. And look what was inside: Two lovely parcels from Anne that I won in her give away on Regnbue Ravage! Lots of beautiful vintage fabrics that remind me of my childhood. Think I might turn some of it into patchwork cushions for our living room... Thank you so much Anne!
