Greenery at home

I love green plants at home. They make me so happy! It is not always easy to keep them alive thoug so I try to pick ones that don't require complicated care. An extra challenge I have is few windows and very low light in the winter, but I try my best to rotate the plants so they at least get some light. I'm a sucker for succulents, so I hope this little guy survives the winter! Do you have any favorite house plants?

Fall on the balcony

Cabbage and heather greets me every time I come home, and I love the sight of these cheerful plants as my balcony is transitioning from summer to fall. Some of the summer blooms are still alive, but have seen better days. 

Also, my new camera charger and card reader is on the way. It has been over 3 months since Airtran lost my suitcase and therefore 3 months since I have used my camera. I guess you can say I am ready for the package to arrive! These Ipod pictures are good enough for instagram most of the time, but not very useful otherwise...

A hanging planter

Hanging planters are back folks! At least if you ask the bloggers and people I follow on pinterest. The idea started to grow on me, so last weekend I went to the biggest thrift store in town, Skrot Tor. The owner, Tor, has a huge warehouse full of "skrot" (trash), and if you are good at searching, you can find some real treasures, and he gives great prices too.

He probably had hundreds of planters, but few suitable for hanging, and none of the kind that I liked. I was set on getting one though, and settled for a nicely shaped planter in colors I disliked. I don´t have a before picture, but just try to imagine it wasn´t the prettiest. Once home (or a few days later), I spray-painted it with paint I already had, replaced the broken twine and hung it in my kitchen window. Cute or what?
