Purchases for spring...and Christmas

I know...we are sort of done with Christmas, and all anxiously waiting for spring and tiny flowers to burst through the soil.

But at this time of year I always buy new stuff for Christmas, and this January was not an exception.

At Nostalgi I found one more of the pixies with magnets in their hands and feet. So now we have a row of 4 pixies and a cat to hang in our double door with little glass panes.



Another pixie caught my eye in the shop...well, I have actually been looking at him for a while, but I think that there are so many other things, which need to be bought in December. But December is over and now he came in my shopping basket and ended right here with me.

Everything wasn't about buying Christmas things at Nostalgi - spring had to be there too.


I absolutely love this particular garland of flags. The fabrics, the colors, the patterns, the ribbons and the tiny green bells! And it was on sale to top it all off. How could I not buy it?
I have to hang the garland somewhere in our kitchen right away.

The pixies? They are headed into our big wooden Christmas box, and will have to wait for a whole year before they can come out.....

In the mail today...



Pattern + yarn, originally uploaded by lille-ursus.

......was this lovely kit.

It's for a scarf, which is designed by Theresa Jessing at Sort Lakrids. The yarn is Duo Silk/Merino from Designclub.dk. I love the fact that the scarf is going to be soft and warm at the same time.

I haven't started it yet, because I want to finish Anne-Sophie's dotty scarf first (I only have about 10 or 15 centimetres left on that), and because I have a high fever today....hence the short post.

But soon....
