First Advent In Swedish Tradition

Yesterday was the first Sunday b4 Christmas Eve...

My Swedish family always gathered at our place during first Sunday b4 Christmas. It became a tradition when me and my cousins and their families get bigger.  There is nothing special in this occasion. Families and friends gathered to mingle and chit-chat and of course with mulled wine and some goodies like, saffron buns, ginger cookies, sweets and more are the highlight. To make the story short, here was my shots...

Welcome to the Swedish Simple Life
Good food and good people, make us alive...
Just a simple gadgets that been recycled... in our foyér...

A very simple centerpiece in our coffee table...
My vintage mulled wine heater... I used in a non-alcohol mulled wine 
 Matches with the vintage cups as well as the mulled wine teaspoons
Another set for mulled wine with alcohol
Adding one more time to show you the teaspoon set... Very X´massy, huh
I served in the foyér so my family and friends feel warm when they come in
Baking at 02 a.m. so my guests can have fresh stuffs direct from my kitchen §;-)
 I baked a X´mas muffins. I modified with X´mas spices to feel the season 

X´mas fritters was modified from where I came from...
Pannacotta, ginger bread cheese cake and X´mas chocos...
 Saffron buns...
Then the mingling begins... so much laughter as always... 
 Here are the ladies of the family
 The baby of our family is Georgina...
 Good guys in our family  
The Advent candles... 

Hope I give you the eye-view of how Swedish celebrate the Christmas.

    The goodies look so yummy, too. I would have to sneek off with that tray of chocolate ones!
    What a beautiful and happy family!

    Du har en stor härlig familj, och det var
    en mycket snygg kock i köket. Fina glöggserviser
    har du också, och så mycket gott till glöggen.
    Här har vi jättelite snö, men det ska snöa
    imorgon. Jag gillar inte vinter, idag minus 17!!

Another Subtle SS #3

Fröken Vinter håller sig länge i vinterlandet! Eller hur? Jag älskar verkligen det vita landskapet vi har nu. Herr Frost är underbar även om jag får inte den jag vill ha. Skuggorna §:-( När man tittar omkring sig genom fönster eller när man tar lite promenad, det känns att man är i sagolandet. Det enda som saknades är bara MINA släde och hundar som tar mig genom skogar... he he... DREAMING! IAF, jag hade fångat några bilder denna veckan och dagen... SOME PHOTOS CAPTURED A DAY PAST & TODAY... My 2 stalks orchid greeted me while standing tall in my kitchen window... GH lit my Kosta Boda candle glasses on the stairsteps down to cellar... Taken early morning a day ago, when sun shone in the lounge, quick and short WHAT? Lil L was with US? HALLELUJAH!!! This is my workstation yesterday when sun visit me at work §;-) A WONDERFUL & A MAGICAL WINTERLAND... Gosh!!! Mrs. Winter is still hanging around here and it seems it's been too long now since she popped up §;-) But, just look ...

Snowstorm on my SS#6

Snöstorm hela helgen, tjoohoo!!! Absolut fint väder -14 minus grader och oväder. Jag håller inne iaf och fortfarande kryar. Näsan bara rinner och huvét dunkar. Nåväl... jag njuter varje minut i det varma huset med brasan tänds och en kopp kaffe i handen. Vad ska man begära mer? Jag är nöjd, ändå eftersom jag har inte gjort ngt utan bara ta det lugnt hela dagen. LATAR MIG HELT ENKELT. *********************************************** A SNOWY DAY TO CHASE SHADOWS? SO I CHASED THEM INSIDE! Scene when I came down in the lounge... I was really happy when I saw my corner lamp Then, a reflection in my stove slab from the letters Perfect for my kitchen In the other end, you can see my cloche & my chinese tea jar The cute flowery bowl set with the jar give me a wink Other half of my cloche share her graceful shadow Sorry folk! Am starving & need my breakfast... LOOK! see it? well, the best I could share ******************************************** Indeed! It is a signal #2 due to a snowst...
