At home at our place in Dalarna,

The house has been closed a long hard winter ,

it´s nice to unlock it for hopefully a long warm summer with lots of days like today.

Good morning, lovely sun-shining day in Sweden.

Breakfast at home by Ingrid in Dalarna. Her favourite Gustavsberg milk can has now become needless with these milk packs.

Had forgotten all about this piece of porcelain tile that I found when combing the beach in Normandy.
The edges have been rounded and polished by the seawater and the waves and the time.

This is the cuff on Ingrid’s blouse that belongs to the festivity dress, a small detail that I like to work with in the Leksand-boxes.
The young woman on the bicycle is Ingrid, a summerday in Sweden, a photo from days long past.
Now she is almost 82, Lotta’s grandmother and my mother in law. She who also has lend me all her valuable pieces of the traditional dress of Leksand as an inspiration for my boxes.

All this sunlight makes me longing for the summer months coming up. Of course this brings me to Sweden, and that’s where this table is standing. Looking forward to setting it with a tasty breakfast and being able to just sit there waiting for the guests to slowly wake up and come shuffling along.
maybe a breakfast like this one.

Just back from Normandie, France.
Peaceful walks on as good as desolate beaches, except for one or two clam diggers now and then.
