my bedside


Since I am spending a lot of time inside my bedroom lately I thought it would be nice to bring some spring into the room. We’ve got this beautiful flowers from our amazing neighbours. I love them and they make me happy.


The book on my bedside is called Secrets of Simplicity by Mary Carlomagno. I’ve got it from Dee Amanda and I love it! Anke from Studio Stationary send me the card with some maskingtape, how sweet! The notebook is from Studio Ditte.

Six Months

Six months ago I went to bed being thankful for both of my parents. The father of a friend past away that day and. I remember lying in bed and thinking about her and her family. And about mine. I couldn’t imagine what it would be to miss one of the dearest people in my life.

The next morning the first thing I saw were about ten missed calls. The next thing I remeber is my father on the phone, crying. My mother had died. After that I only have flashes of memories. Me crying on the floor, waiting for my love to arrive. What seemed to be an hour were only ten minutes.

While I write this down it almost makes me cry again. Almost, because I try to block all my feelings. Not that I succeed every time but I’m getting better at it. Not that it’s a very good solution, my feelings get ahead of me every time.

I still haven’t figured out how this mourning and handling your feelings thing works. What I do know is that I need you. I need people. Please have a little patience with me when I am grumpy or trying to push you away. I am just a little scared.

This month I bought flowers again. Six beautiful roses. Their beauty doesn’t compair to my loss but something pretty to look at is never wrong, right?

Oh Marie’s traveling vintage item


Months ago this little bird flew to our home. I loved him staying here but now its time for a new home. Who would like to give this little bird a new home? Please leave a comment and I’ll pick one.* I’ve got the bird from Eline Pellinkhof and I wrote about it earlier.

The ‘moving treasuries’ are an initiative by Oh Marie Magazine aka Planet Fur. Did you see the newest edition of Oh Marie?! It’s beautiful!
Here are some of the birds around our house. You can see I’m a real sucker for birds, we even named our son after one!
