Stones, stones and some more stones...

I told you I was going to enjoy long walks by the shores of Öland, collecting stones and... no, I'm not the artist behind this pile of stones, lol. I lost track of how many formations like this I found during our one week stay at this stony island. This is just the one I chose to aim my camera at.
Anyway, we, hubby and I, have had a GREAT week, even the weather gods must have been with us as you can see from the photos. And I found a wonderful cafe, they even roasted their own coffee and sold bread baked in a stone oven. We tested a lot of different kinds of bread, with dried tomatoes and basilica, honey and salt, bread with dried fruits and a sour dough bread with rosemary... shouldn't forget to mention their cakes and cookies. Lemon pies and chocolate cakes with cherries, cheesecakes and the list can go on and on, we had to go there several times...

On to some other things, believe it or not, I received a blog award! I'm so surprised and honoured that fellow designer Mel Hains, from South Africa, wanted me to have this, thank you so much Mel! (She's got some really lovely freebies on her blog...)

It also means I've been tagged, I'm supposed to give this award to 5/6 other people by visiting their blogs and tagging them, then I have to answer some questions.

As I have some trouble choosing between all the inspiring digi-blogs I visit now and then, I've decided to send out a big {{{{hug}}}} to all the GREAT blogger out there who share so generously with us all, both through beautiful freebies or/and by being great sources of inspiration and new ideas. All blogs on my bloglist deserves this award, so consider yourselves chosen...

But I will answer the questions of course;

Ten years ago;

Hm, that's 1998... an important year for me as I met my hubby in the summer that year. My sister decided to have a dinner party and invited me and some friends, and some friends of her hubby that I didn't know before. What can I say, it was instant love. Two weeks later we were a couple, living together and in 1999 we got married.

Five things in today's "to do" list;

Boring stuff; 1) do the laundry (one week vacation is enough), 2) water all my plants, 3) oh god, have to fill the refrigerator, its empty, 4) have to cook dinner, 5) check 20 or so emails... When will I have time for some designing???

Snacks I enjoy;

I love Greek salad, but that's no snack I guess... roasted cashew nuts or soybeans, dipping vegetables in a good sauce, like hummus for example. A half zucchini in the oven covered with a mixture of Feta (Greek cheese) and creme fraiche until its golden. Green asparagus with roasted pine nuts and Parmesan cheese on top. Prosciutto di Parma in rolls filled with Philly cheese, dried tomatoes and basilica, Salad Caprese; tomatoes, basilica and mozzarella. Sorry, I got carried away, can you guess I'm very, very hungry, LOL...

Places I have lived:

Only two in Sweden; Motala and Stockholm, but on many different places in those cities.

Now I have to cook dinner, before I start eating on the computer...
