Pastel Christmas - Avotakan joulukuun numero

Pastel ChristmasI gathered in the above collage some of the items Avotakka had included from Weranna's for their Christmas photoshoot at our showroom: we could've had it all pastel, but I was afraid of the red….it always comes to me just before Christmas, and well…would be hard to be completely without it.But in any case - Pastel Christmas is beautiful. Just beautiful. The items in the collage are Peter Priess hand-made glass balls, En Gry og Sif snowflake set of 5, Petra Lunds Lera Flower plate, Himla white linen napkins, Oninterior Tindra napkin...

2nd Sunday of Advent

Puinen vakka adventtinaYesterday I visited Rilekki in Puumala (could be my favorite store on earth, in addition to Weranna's, of course ;)) looking for some old ginger bread molds. And found a couple!I was recommended to get this, as well, for today. Isn't it pretty? Tens of years of old, hand-made in Puumala and still in perfect shape, with a lid. Now it's filled with 1,5 kg seasalt to keep the candles steady.Happy Advent!Puinen vakka adventtinaPuinen vakka adventtinaPuinen vakka adventt...

White Christmas table setting - valkoinen joulukattausWelcome to have some Gluhwein and Christmas porridge at our white Christmas table! Thought to start with this white table setting - it looked so so pretty on the table, just a minor problem - with the fireplace behind my back I couldn't get far enough from the table to take larger photos (and I've promised to use only my feet as a zoom for now). But hopefully you get the picture!White Christmas table setting - valkoinen joulukattausThe Himla linen napkins, Oninterior star napkin rings, Petra...

Christmas table setting - joulukattaus

Himla linen napkins - Himla pellavaservettiThis weekend I am fully focusing on planning Weranna's Christmas table settings - here some inspiration with Himla linen napkins, a xmas tree branch and a cinnamon stick. Perhaps 3-4 different kinds. I love to plan table settings, just feels a little silly sometimes as I am not much of a cook. But at least it looks pretty, if not much else ;).Himla linen napkin - Himla pellavaservettiHimla linen napkin - Himla pellavaservettiResults in the blog during the next few days - at least a black and white Christmas...
