Who gets to have a chapter in your little red book? Are there people who are soooooo good to you that they're present on all your pages? These are questions I've been musing over today... ~*♥*~

So it's been confirmed. Me and the kids will spend the full summer in Provence. I'll keep you posted on life over there, real Peter Mayle fashion. Here's a little purchase I've made for this trip, especially. Something light, comfy, slightly transparent but not toooo much so... MmmmmmmmMmm. By the lovely Oona Elena ♥♥♥. Perfect for a summer in the sun. And my lovely ladies Noora and Hanski might come and spend some time with us. Poolside lounging, bronzing and total relaxation is in the cards with Noora... We've already planned to have a real girlie holiday, going to the gym, sleeping in the same bed in our room upstairs and talking girl stuff all night.... Hanski, I'll take all around the area by Mamie's little white car, as it'll be her first time in the South. Touring and discovering little picturesque villages, lovely restaurants and the nicest places outside the tourist circles... The kids will be totally relaxed as usual there, and play in Mamie's pool all day long... There's also pony rides and tennis lessons in the cards this time. Ah, it'll be so good. ~*♥*~

I bought myself a little something last week, in the honor of the International Women's Day... A sweet necklace of silverbeads and semi-precious stones by the Soul of Maïa.

These mistysoft stones are Jaspises; the shade is called Lotus. Jaspis is supposed to soothe anxiety and distress, as well as strengthen a sense of inner security and peace. My sons chose the necklace with me, or for me actually. They sure know what they're doing. I'll wear it with this long breezy cotton maxidress in the summertime. I've even got flip-flops decorated with Lotus-colored beads somewhere... And it'll be perfect with my Everyday Sugar coat and Zara boots as well... Or what say you? The boys also chose these roses for me: And here's a little tip for you. When your flowers (roses, particularly) start to seem a bit "down", cut off the rosebuds and place them in a shallow bowl, like I've done above, with a drop of water at the bottom. They'll bloom still many more days like this, and oftentimes dry beautifully as well...♥. ~*♥*~

There's a huge auction ongoing (12.3.2012, 12->) at Bukowski in Stockholm at the moment... Everyone can participate over the net (www.bukowskis.com ) or over the phone... Dangerous. There are many pretty pieces but these antique earrings are the most beautiful item I spotted: I think the phone lines are still open for all you vintage & antiques lovers out there... ~*♥*~

...the one who GETS you ~*♥*~
