..great purchase / gift for pregnant women

..suitcase addiction

First of all, cudos to Katie Thompson for designing this awesome chair!

Second of all, yes, I must admit that I have a suitcase addiction (vintage suitcases). The problem is that I don't want too much stuff in my tiny appartment that don't have a function. But luckily for me suitcases are great for organizing stuff! Here is a list of ideas on what to fill them with;

..Board games
..Ribbons
..Art supplies
..Baby clothes
..Photos
..Yarn
..Magazines
..Books
..Towels

..do you have any other ideas?


I also like this idea I found at 'A beach cottage'

..creative wedding bouquet

I have to share this piece of art with you. Isn't this one of the most gorgeous wedding bouquets you have ever seen? The bride (Benedicte) were holding an oil lamp that was given to her mom when the bride was a newborn baby. The reason it was given to her mom was because everyone thought she was dying, but she survived:)

..color schemes

Some color schemes simply makes my heart go YES! If I were to put together a nursery right now I think I would have choosen these colors, though they might seem more like typical boy colors.. (I'm having a girl). But for now we are living in a tiny appartment and I really want all the new baby gear to match the rest of the interior. That's actually a tough one!

..lovely soft animals

So I'm suddenly into checking out toys and I have found some favorites. Jellycat Cordy Roy Collection is a collection of very cool soft toys with delicious colors. I want to get at least three of them.. The pig, the croc and the elephant. Which one is your favorite?

..leander cradle

We got to borrow this beautiful cradle from my cousin and I am totaly in love with it! Danish design. See their website here. Picture taken before the beautiful bird made a nest out of it..

..permission to rest

So, I have started my materinty leave. It's the weirdest feeling, but I love that I finally have time to crochet, knit, organize our apartment and planning the baby's arrival!

Yesterday I found this bird at the store 'Sjarm' in Oslo. I have a total weakness for birds and just had to buy it. I bought it for my baby girl and now it's hanging over her amazing cradle that I'll show you tomorrow..
