Yesterday evening while spending my daily few hours minutes on Pinterest browsing through lots of amazing finds, I was reminded of an artist that I noticed a few months back -his name is Jan Skácelík but you might know the name of his shop better, Handz. I love everything about his work. The retro feel, the scandinavian influence, the wittiness of his illustrations. Here are only a few of his prints – believe me, I wanted to share many more with you!- but best you go take a look at his shop and see for yourself!
Have a lovely Thursday, friends!

Quirky. Sweet. Fun. I am totally in love with these invitations (and save-the-dates and wedding posters) by Ello There. Did you see that cute little kite invitation? How perfect is that! Now I just need to find a way to go back in time so I can plan my wedding again 
Don’t worry, dear hubby, I’d choose you as the groom again. A million times over, actually.

My little girls. Love them to the moon and back.
Hold on, hold your horses! No, no, I am not expecting (yet) another baby. My two little girls are only fifteen months apart…so believe me, I’m enjoying a little break from being pregnant right now! One of my very dear friends, Lisa, is expecting a baby for July though. And it’s a girl! Oh I am so excited for her. It reminds me of when I was waiting for my own little girls. I’ve always wanted girls, so when the midwives announced both times that we were going to have a girl…my oh my! The butterflies in my belly, I tell you. It was the sweetest moment of all. I smiled from ear to ear. Not that I wouldn’t be happy to have a little boy – hopefully someday. But for now I’m loving having my girls.
Talking about finding out the gender of your child, there’s a big trend right now to have a “gender reveal” party. The expecting couple invites their closest friends and families to share that moment when they learn the news. Joanna at Cup of Jo just wrote an interesting little blog post about this. Sometimes I love the idea, and sometimes I just think that this moment is better kept between the couple in love. What do you think? Would you do a gender reveal party or anything special?
Regardless, here is a little shopping list for the little baby girls in your life!

A lot of you told me how much you loved the house that I featured last week, so I decided to feature another lovely house from Scandinavia this week. In this one, a lot of vintage items and collectibles, but all arranged in a beautiful modern fashion. There are so many lovely little details everywhere in this house that I don’t really know where to start.
For example, I can’t get over the gorgeous floor in the entry way. Someday when I own a house I’d love to paint my entry way with color like they did in this house or also here, here and here. Will I ever dare? The bets are open!
And look, their doggy isn’t left out from this detail fest either: Notice the bunting above his bowls?! That’s what I am talking about when I say attention to details people! Their kitchen is in the end very simple, but bright and inviting.
I love the color palette that they used throughout the house. A lot of details in greens and blues which help give the house this very natural feel. I also spot gorgeous cushions by By Nord - one of my favorite Scandinavian brands.
They also added windows inside the house (a bit like this other house I featured recently), and I’m such a big fan of that. The rooms are connected yet more private than in a regular open floor plan. The light (my friend!) can easily flow from one room to another. And let’s admit it, these windows are just so playful!
I couldn’t feature all of the gorgeous pictures from this beautiful house, so please make sure to go check out the rest of them here.
And with that, I will serve you this lovely classic dessert with a bit of a modern twist: a lime custard with raspberries by Béa from La Tartine Gourmande. You see, today is all about revisiting our classics, and adding the right amount of details – whether at home or in your plate.
This is one of the desserts that will disappear from the plates before you even hand them out – so make sure go check out the recipe on Béa’s blog, La Tartine Gourmande (it’s in English too). And I dare you to visit her blog without licking your lips!

Every time I walk out of my house, I see the trees beautifully dressed with thousands of tiny pink flowers, and my heart skips a beat. Every time. No matter how often I see them, I can’t get over so much beauty. I just tend to take my surroundings for granted a bit…but then spring comes and I’m reminded that beauty really is everywhere. We just need to look up, and breathe it all in.
