The little hippie in me

We hosted an arabic party last Saturday. It was a mission and a half, but oh so worth it! We built a Bedouin tent, we decorated it, we dressed up and cooked a berber food: couscous. It was all perfect by the time of the sun set. Here are few shots of the night.

Tepa adores: Tove Styrke - High and Low (Nyhetsmorgon 2011)



Don't know every high and every low
But I'm just getting started
This can't be the meaning of it all
Everthing is just repeating

Maybe there is nothing to believe
What do we need to sort out
What if there is nothing here for me
You let me in just to get out

I feel your arms around me
But not the heat
Your eyes are pointing at me
But do you see?

The bubbles don't burst
My heart is not taking off
Love doesn't hurt
Baby give up all you got

Speak love how mechanical of you
Where's the truth when I need it
Get rid of the glitter and the gold
Put the love where I feel it
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/tove+stman+styrke/high+and+low_20896622.html ]
Make real
Fill the hollow with a heart
Give it some kind of meaning
Crack up show me who you really are
Just the glimpse to believe in

I feel your arms around me
But not the heat
Your eyes are pointing at me
But do you see?

The bubbles don't burst
My heart is not taking off
Love doesn't hurt
Baby give up all you got

You don't need love
I need love
You don't need love x2

I feel your arms around me
But not the heat
Your eyes are pointing at me
But do you see?

I feel your arms around me
But not the heat
Your eyes are pointing at me
But do you see?

The bubbles don't burst
My heart is not taking off
Love doesn't hurt
Baby give up all you got

Something from IKEA

How cute is this quilt I just bought? It is so very cute that I want to wear it outside! ;)





Vielä on kesää jäljellä....

This summer

I apologize that I have not updated anything for ages. I blame the summer!You see we Finns don't have that much sun and warmth in our lives, so we have to treat every hot summer day as if it could be our last one. So no time for the blog, I guess. :/

I has not been just fun and games tho: I have had my own work and have been doing lots of farmwork too (because my bf has a farm): hay making etc. Very NOT-chick at all. I think I have been looking more like a hillblilly than a trendy city-goer, I am afraid. There is still one third of the summer left, which I will spend looking like a - well - woman. ;)

So here are a few random photos of my summer so far. Enjoy (if you can). ;)


In Hanko (The Hamptons of Finland)





At the Fiskars Antique Fair
