Trientalis europaea is a plant in the Primulaceae family, called by the common name chickweed wintergreen or Arctic starflower.

We call them Skogstjerne, just Starflower, in Norweigan.

The season for the different flowers are all too short.
A picked me this bouquet when he and a friend was out in the woods.

But I've sadly been too sick to get out much this Spring, so I never got the chance to find one on the forest floor amongst the moss and spruce needles.

Oh well, there's always next year ♥

I've worn a floral summer dress:

Two ♥

And just like that I'm at my second year into the world of blogging ♥


Fonts, header and template layout have all been changed this past year.

I've taken about 4500 pictures (is it wrong for me to think that's not really a lot ? Haha), I got a new lens, the Sigma 24mm F1.8, and A even bought me a proper camera-stand (a Sony strangely enough, Sony makes a lot of things! Well, at least I don't think they started out making toilet paper like Nokia, haha. It's true! I saw the commercial in an old magazine!).

I've been learning a lot about design though Frøken Bøk in the design-group she tutors at Verket, so far consisting of only me and her. It's made me think about what I'm doing here in regard of fonts, pictures, line-shifts and design in a whole new way.


So, what do you think of my little blog?
Anything you want to see more/less of?

Sommeravslutning på Verket.

Last day at Verket before the summer vacation.

There was coffee, lunch and friendly faces as usual, with the extra added speeches and some entertainment in the form of singing, piano and some dancing from Heidi and Jannicke wearing tutus and golden hats ♥

Verket will be closed for 5 weeks, stating up again the 22. of August. 

 A bit of vacation suits me just fine now ♥ And I'll be all rested up for when it opens again.

Changes.

Something old, the background, something new, columns woo, something borrowed, well, the entire template, something blue, my links ♥ haha.


I got around to changing my template to the new designer ones. I'm pretty much completely confused by the HTML for these layouts, but with a lot of reading I think I'm getting around top understanding the coding a bit more.

There's still a few changes to be made, but I'm getting there.

What do you think?

Det Gule Galleriet.

Det Gule Galleriet ~ The Yellow Gallery is a gallery and coffee bar in Stavern.

I snapped some pictures right before opening hours a couple of weeks before tourist season, the outside tables and chairs are all so cute.

We didn't stop for coffee that day, maybe next time ♥

I love cardigans (and flowers), but I seldom wear yellow:

deviantart Portfolio ♥

I fixed up my deviantart Portfolio page and I'm quite happy with the results.

I do want to do something similar with the header here, but for now I'm too busy trying to figure out a way to happily combine my old design with the "Simple" layout by Josh P.

Apparently not an easy task with my limited HTML skills.

Wish me luck!

They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer.

I love peonies.

I had a wonderful book about flowers when I was little, it consisted of poems and drawing of flowers, on the page with the peony the little girl in the book has made the peony into a little house which she lives in.

I want to live in a peony too ♥

It's been raining a bit,

and I never let a chance to wear my wellies pass me by !

They also play an important role in producing oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as well as moderating ground temperatures.

It's been lovely and sunny this weekend ♥

I'm working on the pictures I took for my sister in Oslo. 

But I haven't gotten that far with them yet, so instead I'm sharing some pictures I took of the amazing flower trees that bloomed for two weeks at the top of the town square in Larvik.

Two cute girls I know has made a tradition out of picnicking under these lovely trees when they're in bloom, maybe they'll let me join in next year ♥

I would have worn this dress,
but then I realized that it's just too short to not wear pants under..








Oh well..
