Cornflowers

I've had bouquets of cornflowers from my flowerbed spread all over
 the house for the last few weeks. I've loved these little cuties ever
 since I was a little girl. My love for nature and flowers
 started at an early age. I remember growing
cornflowers in the garden of my childhood
 home,where I was given my own little 
flowerbed, able to choose what
 to grow myself.

These little bouquets are so cute!

Sending you warmth and sunshine,

Melissa

Rose Garden

I have always loved roses, and their scent is an essential part of summer for me. 

They are some of the most thankful bloomers in the garden, spreading joy

 almost all summer long, And oh, they are so beautiful. I made this rose

 bed last autumn and I will definately be planting more.

I wish you all a lovely Sunday! 

Holiday Mode

I'm on my third week of summer vacation, and I feel calm and relaxed. 

The weather has not been very warm or sunny, but I've managed

 to enjoy my time off surprisingly well. I'm actually not that

 bothered about not having been able to lay on the beach 

every day.

I have two sets of covers for our sofas, and decided to change into the beige ones.

 Changing the covers really gives the whole room a different feel. 

Can't really say which one I like more, these light beige 

or the grey ones. 

Ps. Have you heard, beige is making a comeback this fall!

 Grey has been favoured for a long time, so it might 

actually be a refreshing change. 

Wishing you a cozy evening,

Melissa

 

Peonies at Midnight

 

Even though Midsummer came and passed, the nights are still rather light. 

I highly recommend taking strolls in the garden by night. 

 There's a whole different feel to it. Just try it,

and you'll know what I mean.

Highten your senses, breathe in a variety of different

 scents and listen to the delicate sounds of the night. 

Wishing you a lovely new week to come,

Melissa

 

New Livingroom Table

I've been looking for a new coffee table for our livingroom, and finally found

 and ordered one last week online. And boy am I happy! It turned out to 

be even more beautiful than expected! Wow! So satisfied with the 

perfect mix of reclaimed wood and brushed steel.

And these white peonies from our garden have absolutely

 exploded this year!! There are hundreds of big flowers 

with a scent reminiscent of roses. 

Magical! 

Wish you a lovely evening!

Time for Summer Holiday

Starting my four week summer holiday today in sunny weather.
This year, at least up until now, has been a year of personal
 growth and realization for me. As a result, I have
 made absolutely no plans for my holiday.

I intend to slow down, zone in and continue on this path
 of really getting to know myself. I'm going to spent
time in the garden, read books and go to the beach,
but only when I feel like it. This will be a
vacation of no "must's" .

Take care!

Ps. Peony time is here. Love, love
love it!

Xo,

Melissa
