Modified Midsummer @ D´Box on SSS2 Day...

Have you heard how Swedes celebrates Midsummer?

Well, to those who are not keen of the European Midsummer, it was said that this day, is one of the most celebrated day specially in Scandinavia, Latvia and Estonia, apart from Christmas day. Press the link, pls? Mid-summer

Usually, one of my cousin and her family, host this celebration every summer, then gather our families and dear friends. This time, it was hosted by D´Nics at D´Box due to the reason that my cousin is in The Philippines, enjoying their summer vacation.

So, here's from last Mid-summer hosted by our municipality

    The family time is wonderful, your back yard a perfect place for it - hosted by a great hostess! The Maypole is great, as you 'dance' around it...the two blokes seem to be enjoying the events as they carry those green bottles around the venue.

    I like that stylish net that protects the wonderful food, and the desert is great. Your family is lovely, the time togeher the best thing about this special day. Happy Mid-summer!

    I did not know about the Mid -Summer holiday but it sounds like a very nice day to spend time having lots of fun. Your family certainly looks like they are having a happy time. Thank you very much for participating in my party. I am not doing the party any longer because it takes a lot of my time. I need some extra time to do some other things. I will continue to do Cozy Home Scenes just not the party. Please continue to visit me just as usual and I will stop by your blog also. -----------

    I can remember creating a Maypole when I was in elementary school!!! Wow...that really brings back memories! I think I remember a scene in the 1994 version of "Little Women" where they were dancing around a Maypole? I'll have to watch that again to see. This is so cool! I clicked over to the history of Midsummer, and it is really interesting. I'm relieved that you guys didn't build a massive bonfire in your back yard!!! The fire from the grill was enough and represented the bonfire! :-) I see that you had a lot of the traditional foods, too, like the strawberries. Wow...very cool, Chie! You were having a GREAT time...I can tell!!! :-) It still looks as though it's a little cool because you are wearing a jacket in some of the photos. I will gladly trade you! We will reach 100 degrees this week here! :-(

Having a BALL in our Outdoor cozy lounge...

AT LAST!!! Isn't it an easy life when our weather is not that HOT or too COLD ? ***  Det är så underbart liv när vädret tillåter. Absolut man får njuta det ljuva livet i solen. This is the time when I move our lounge outdoor and just loving to pamper it with my simple way and a dash of a chic style (at least) I feel it. *** En härlig dag sån här årstid. Jag flyttade vardagsrummet i uteverandan och den älskar jag. En enkel stil med en liten chic-touch! Here is my new outdoor LOUNGE!!!   Me & GH went for a morning walk (as always)   Preparing for a cozy outdoor lounge... I move the buffé table and gathered my treasures...  I gathered all my pensies in my galvanized tray... Cotton cookie holder from Malta with a St. John's cross My wrought cloche which I wanted to rust but still long way to go...  Mini grill? GH asked! Guess NOT! Don't you like it?   This corner will be a drink corner and ready to serve us... GH cho

Inherited--- A Vintage and Delicate Treasure

A sofisticated to my eyes... When I was young, I know what we had on top of my family's table. I don't really care what kind of treasures we had? I just remember that my grandfather had a very fine china set and unfortunately ended to a wrong greedy grandchildren, my first cousin's wife. Mum inhereted some of the set and as I recall she adored them till her last breath. If I am still living in The Philippines, I would love to keep them by myself. Hopefully, dear sis will adore as Mum does. Then, my new life started when I marry GH and move to Stockholm, Sweden 25 yrs ago. I know my love of kitchen/tables gadgets, i.e. household utensils, deep in my heart. It was already forseen by many of our friends--- my pedantic way and the love of a house to make it a home. I thank you Mum for that. It is true the saying " what we had experienced from our childhood, is what we get when we have our own" ? Well, when GH mother passed away 2 decades ago, GH inherite

An absolutely fine day... me & GH went for a walk... to see---- Cherry blossoms BlooM to the Max... this is one of the attraction in time like this in Kingsgarden...
