lucky find

A while ago I was very lucky to go to my fave thrift store Humana on the day everything cost 20 kronor, and find this super cute dress. I’ve been wearing it so many times already, which makes it one of the most budget friendly purchases I’ve ever made. Not that I ever spend a lot of money on anything, but still. There are a precious few buys that I still haven’t created an occasion for to wear yet, which is bothering me a bit. I don’t like them hanging there feeling unused and unappreciated. I’ve got three parties coming up the next couple of weeks though, so maybe at least one of them will get to go with me.



Wearing this green cutie makes every day feel like a party though. Well, not really, at the end of the day a day at work is just a day at work, but any day deserves a nice dress, none the less.

With those incredibly wise words I bid you all a good night.

edible typography

There are so many things you can do with typography, and I just got inspired to try something as awesome as this one day. They are made by a rather brilliant artist called Anna Garforth and you can find more of her breathtaking work right here.












I need I need I need to learn paper cutting. Who will teach me? And who will make the paper cutting tattoo I will get some day in the future?

All pictures belong to Anna Garforth.

birthday wishes for Bob

Happy 70th birthday Mr Dylan!

team jenny t-shirt

I don’t wear t-shirts very often, but I just bought a new one online that I will certainly wear as soon as I get it. It’s designed by super talented Carson Ellis, and the design alone made me fall in love with it: accordions are one of my top 5 favorite instruments. And obviously my name is Jenny, so it’s like Ms. Ellis designed it for me. But I’m not gonna selflishly assume that, because the truth is that The Decemberists awesome accordion player is also called Jenny, and she is fighting breast cancer at the moment, which is why this t-shirt has been made. All the profits will go towards Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and you can get the t-shirt yourself right here in The Decemberists store.

spectacular spring

I keep feeling completely overwhelmed by the loveliness of this season, just cannot get enough of it. The colours, the smells, the light late evenings, bare feet in the grass. The long, dark and horribly cold winter is nothing but a vicious dream we’ve all woken up from, finally. This tree above is a Bird Cherry, and it’s got the most amazing scent imaginable. Trust me, it’s intoxicating. I don’t wear perfume, in fact I kinda hate perfume, because perfume will never come close to the scent of Bird Cherry, for example.



Another amazing tree is this one called Lind in Swedish, Tilia Cordata. It smells lovely from the day it starts blooming, until the end of summer when it’s blooming again, with flowers that also makes for a delicious tea. Bumblebees come to feast at those flowers, and end up killing themselves, because they get too drunk from the nectar. It’s sad, but also kinda nice. I would like to believe they die happy.









I got myself a new dress to celebrate the season (well, obviously I will make up any excuse to get a new dress), and also add some colour to my wardrobe. I love it! I found it at Myrorna (Salvation Army) for 125 kronor, thank you very much.



Look how lovely the evening sun looks in our little park by the church around the corner where we live!

vintage matches

When I went to Skansens gift shop the other week, I could not resist buying some adorable match boxes for 5 kronor each. They are replicas from vintage ones, that the Tobacco and Match Museum produce. I still haven’t been to the museum, but will have to go now that I know they might have lots of things like this to see.

spring me a new dress

I’m very much in love with this dress I got this week. It’s one of those dresses that you put on and just feel so good in, and you feel it’s making you look good, almost effortlessly. I like those kinds of dresses. Yes, I like this dress lots and lots. I got it at Humana for 159 kronor. I like that too. I think it looks very 50’s, but I couldn’t say for sure. As always, just hanging on a hanger doesn’t make it justice, take my word for it.



What caught my eye in the store was the lovely flowery print, and I got so happy in the dressing room when the fit was absolutely perfect. Today it was a bit chilly again, so I wore it for the first time, and I’ve felt so good the whole day. Thank you, new black flower dress, for making me feel good.



We’ve got pink trees outside the house, just wanted to show you. They’re ridiculously pretty. If it stays windy next week, the whole street will look like it’s covered in pink snow. I love it!









Spring and new dresses are a good combination, if you ask me.
