candy cones

A sweet treat.
Todays little craft work . 
From old book sheets that I found in a second hand charity shop
 I have made candy cones to hang in the tree. 
We will enjoy them in our tree and some of them will be sold in the shop.
It was a lot of work but worth every minute.
This way we will enjoy a book someone else wanted to throw away. 

Santa




Today Olle, Olga ,Valter and Victoria 
and all the little santas arrived  safe in Brussels, 

they have had a long journey from Sweden and
 were happy to get out of the box and enter the big wide world. For years when I had my flower shop in Sweden we sold these lovely santas and I still  adore them. 
I have the hole family as I have collected for many years 
and they spend christmas with me and my family every year. 
It would not be the same with out them. 
Now I sell them in my shop in Brussels 
so lets see if they will find nice new homes in Belgium.

the mail today


Today the stamps arrived for my bags and presents in the shop . I am thrilled. They are so beautiful to look at so even before using them they made my day!


I am happy to fill my shop with these great candles from 
Ester&Erik in Denmark. 
They dont only look good they are of the best quality. 
I am going to use them in my flower arrangements and they will make my new year table look amazing.

 Winter colors for me today

Made by , that is the name of my new concept.
Under that I will create all sorts of beautiful things and promote other artists and creative souls. 
My garden house has during the last few weeks been transformed to 

- an atelier where I paint 
 - a place where I can create flower arrangements 
and hold courses
- where you can see work of other creative minds and get inspired
- a shop


With hope to soon grow and give space to more creative people 

With a touch of Scandinavia , 
the nordic light and the simplicity of the nordic life stile.

I sell some great carefully picked items, fresh flowers on order and on the top floor I have my studio were I paint.
I am always looking for new things and 
people to add value to my space of creativity.


I hope you will enjoy following my blog and that I can add a bit of inspiration to your daily life.
