Swedish Meatball Lover

I am. Especially when at Ikea. And even though usually don't indulge in the cafeteria of the wodnerful store - I'm pretty sure that a lunch of meatballs must be had on your fist visit.

And since it was Matt's first visit, we ate them. All wonderful 15 of them with gravy and lingonberries.

New "Put a Bird On It" Curtains

 
for our dining room. Thanks to the ever-wonderful Ikea and the Hedda Blad and Eivor  curtains.

Before

After

They make the room feel so much bigger, softer, and put together. It worked out quite perfectly and I am in love.

I bought one more set of curtains than I needed, so now I have two extra panels. This is actually really nice because I can now make curtains for another room, or continue to use the one panel as a table cloth. (They are REALLY wide panels. I love you Ikea.)

Scene's from Valentine's Day

A beautiful Arena's orchid was delivered to my office and Matt brought the beach to our apartment.

Capped off with a handmade valentine and guitar music - it was an incredible evening. Best yet :)

Happy Valentine's Day

It's my favorite holiday. The day you get to tell everyone, anyone, that you love them. Like you, dear readers, I live you all! You are the BEST readers.

 

Celebrate by calling your parents, doing something nice for a stranger, or telling all the people that are dear to you how much you love them.

And don't be a cynic - the day is only about consumerism and romance (or lack there of) if that's what you choose to make of it. Choose to make it about love.
