everyday stories outtakes







Everyday stories outtakes from week 14 in April. I'm collecting the outtakes in the my everyday life 2011 set on Flickr.

Winter is here...

I know all you lovelies from the Northern hemisphere are happy to be welcoming Summer but here in Australia, I'm really happy to light up the fire and enjoy the cosiness of a good night in with the beautiful cold Winter nights!


 
Just thought I would share some fireplace inspiration from one of my favourite designers John Jacob!

And I'm just going to share this pic of my backyard yesterday in the middle of a hail storm - my boys were very excited!  This cooled everything down nicely!  Happy winter everyone in the Southern hemisphere!  T xx

2005: We celebrated our 7 years anniversary in our old apartment.

2006: We celebrated our 8 years anniversary in our garden and Sølve proposed. He had built this bench a few days earlier and carved a heart on it. I sat on this bench, in beautiful evening sunlight, when he popped the question. You already know my answer ;-)

2007: We celebrated our 9 years anniversary at home with cheese and rosé.

2008: We celebrated our 10 years anniversary at home with Champagne, snacks, roses and diamonds (to wear for our wedding day August 9 the same year).

2009: Caption written on Flickr: How to celebrate 11 years of love. Shopping at the garden center, spend the whole day working in the garden in the bright, warm sun, champagne and dinner al fresco with candles. Bliss!

2010: We celebrated our 12 years anniversary with tulips from the garden and dinner with my sister (who stayed with us for a month doing research for her master thesis).

2011: We celebrated our 13 years anniversary with dinner out followed by sunset and dessert at home.

This post is inspired by Sandra's similar posts.

Time to get outside......




I know I'm ready !!!!

Black & Spiro Today

I quickly snapped this photo as I was leaving the shop tonight of our front desk.  Today we replaced the black and white ikat desk skirt, which we've had on the desk since our re-opening last year, with a new gathered navy and white ticking skirt.  This photo gives a very small indication of our new look for the entire shop which will hopefully be in place within the next 3 weeks.  There is going to be lots of red {I am very into red}, navy, pale blue, green, yellow and a softer/warmer pink than the one I am normally known for. 

I wish that all of our lovely new things would arrive sooner as the shop is a little bit empty due to our recent annual sale.  However, as I keep telling myself - beautiful things take time to come to fruition and as my mother always says - good things come to those who wait!!

work

Here is some recent work I have done for my part time employer, the ad agency ASKO Reklame.

For AMFI Voss shopping center I...

...interviewed the manager about their new "manifest"...

...I took this portrait to illustrate the purpose of the manifest...

...and I interviewed and photographed the owners of the new Thai food grocery store.

For AMFI Stord shopping center I...

...sourced photos for this inspiration spread about springy outdoor life and I wrote the small text.

For Blomsterdalen senter I...

...asked four random people what they like best about summer...

...I borrowed products from each of the nine shops at the shopping center and made this summer inspiration spread together with photographer Gustaf Bratt...

...and finally I wrote about barbecuing.

Expected to be revealed at a European motor show later in the year, either Paris or Frankfurt, the Audi S4 has been spied for the first time with no disguise.
