I am a true fan of birches and the nordic flora, so you can imagine how pleased I am to have these wonderful new textiles designed by Marja Rautiainen in the shop. And all over our place.
Absolutely wonderful design and quality from Finland. I have never been to Finland, crazy!

What a nice way to personalize a piece of old furniture. Great DIY project by Mirja at the blog Koulun lattia narisee.

Just as the last time we where here in Vietnam we are struck by the big amount of Russian people that are here. And how the Vietnamese has adapted their city to their needs. It is more common than not that the signs and menus are written in both Vietnamese and Russian for example. Another thing that you can not avoid noticing, is the lack of the Russian smile. It seems like Russians seldom smiles (as least not to strangers). It makes me interested why. Here is some theories.
Russia-Vietnam relations
Bye beach life, bye sun. Now a deep breath for…Hanoi.
Jenni Tuominen’s duvet cover for Marimekko makes me smile.

The last couple of days, blue sky days, sunshine and a lot of great activities. We still have some days to go here but in our minds we are starting to sum up our Nha Trang visit.
So while the memories still are fresh, here some tips where to go and do if you ever come to Nha Trang in Vietnam.
- Restaurants:
OMPH Restaurant (vegetarian food). Ganesh (Indian food), Kirin (Vietnamese food).
- For people young at heart, Vinpearl Land (take the cable car).
- For diving or snorkeling, go with Rainbow Divers.
- For a traditional local experience, visit Dam Market.

AmarinalevinHandknits started knitting when her daughter was one. Her current knitting is a mix of picture sweaters and traditional style pattern sweaters.
“If you see a sweater you like but it is not in the correct size, feel free to email me about adapting a sweater for a custom size.”
Children in various sweaters.
If you like these, take a look at Mette’s (Ungt blod) good looking sweater collection too.
New photo at Wonderwall, Backstage Lido N°2 by Jesper Brandt. Is it snowmans? Can’t get enough of snowmans.
Breakfasts from heaven, a soft big bed, balcony + wifi. What more can you ask for. So luxurious that I am ashamed. All good here.
Wonder what this (below) technique is called. Pieces of fabric assembled into beautiful circles, patterns. Do you know? Found at the local Nha Trang Dam market.
Jenny Williamson at Banderole makes great Velvet patchwork cushions. I like the mountain shaped cushion as well and Jenny’s blog.
(Thanks for the tip again Vivien.)
