Christmas decorations at home

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Here are some of the things I’ve done in the apartment to make it feel a bit more like the upcoming holidays…

 

 

 

And today, my sister and I are baking Swedish saffron buns!

Autumn decoration ideas for the home

The other weekend we went to the farmers’ market in Forest Hill and got lots of vegetables, cheese and fish. Perfect for weekend dinners.

I also got two mini pumpkins which are currently used as table decoration. I think it makes the kitchen look very autumnal.

Other inspirational decoration for this season:

candle holders with leaves – the alternative bride tumblr

I prefer the simple decorations to some of the many tacky and over the top fall decorations I’ve come across when looking for ideas.

summer garden

I found some pictures that I took last summer of my parents’ garden in the south of Sweden. Seeing this pictures, I just can’t wait for the summer!

My dad grows grapevines on the roof of the terrace which he actually also makes wine of – despite the Swedish weather!

kitchen garden dream

Oh I would like a little garden where I can grow my own vegetables, fruit and berries!

This picture is from the float project but I intend  to upload some pictures soon from Horniman park which has a nice herb garden and see if I have some pictures of my parents’ garden.
