Have a Fika with me!

Fika is a swedish word for a break that usually includes coffee or other hot beverage together with something sweet, like a cinnamon roll or other baked goods. You can fika alone or with people.
This is a project I came up with as a one person business where you don't have that fika break that most companies have where they chat about all things going on (tv, politics, movies, weekend plans, etc).
I invite you to have a fika with me. Put the kettle on and have a seat.

This is going to be a web series with more short films on the subject of Fika.
My new home page is sooon ready (yeah, I know I've said that forever, but now it truly is close!) and I will be back here to tell you when that happens! Here's the adress if you want to have a peak on what's going on in my life: lottalosten.com Lots of pictures to look at.
Thanks for your patience and hope you enjoy the video.

Past weeks.

Sorry for not updating so much here. I'm blogging mostly at my swedish site lottalosten.com. If you want to see more pics I recommend you to pop over there. I actually will turn that site into english soon and blog in both swedish and english but for now it's all written in swedish.
Well, I've been up to quite a bit the last couple of weeks. Here are a few highlights:

Turned 30!

Had friends and family over for an entire weekend of fun! Here is my dad, my niece and my best friend.

Beautiful sister!

We went for lots of walks.

Had dinner at a nice restaurant. My dad, niece and mother.

Had brunch at a great place.

Lovely David.

Having fun with my niece!

Taking pics of flowers in the kitchen window.

Had friends over for the weekend. Went to a fleemarket.

Waited for assistance with a table.

Tried to squeeze said table in to a small car. This did not work. But it fit in our car so everything worked out fine.

Where I go to write a script.

 We're at Österlen trying to write a movie script. 

After a bit of hard script thinking we went for a walk in the beautiful hills.

Walked pass the big farm house.

It was so windy I had to keep one hand on my hat almost the entire walk. It was so beautiful everywhere. I've only ever been here during summer time before and it felt amazing to see my favourite place in my favourite part of the year.

Look at those misty hills!

I love all of these pictures of David under the big tree. Couldn't decide which one to show you so I'll show you all of them instead. :-) They remind me a bit of the poster for the movie Big Fish.

Backlit sheep.

This tree was standing there all lit and colourful! So beautiful. 

Framed view.

Wide screen view.

The pumpkin says Hundbord which means Dog table. I thougt that was so hilarious!

When we came home after about an hour we made hot vegetable soup and continued our script brain storming. This should turn out quite well!

A day in autumn.

The weather is amazing now here in Sweden! Today I started the day with a lovely breakfast at a café in a part of town called Haga.

So tasty!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Later in the day me and David went for a walk. Passed the big cemetery where the light was almost magical. Then I had to stop and take loads of photos of a fence covered in spider web.

We went to Trädgårdsföreningen and walked around their beautiful garden. The sun was so bright. Gorgeous, but a bit exhausting for the eyes.

Oh, look! A chestnut!

Can't. Look. serious. Anymore.

Must. Goof. Off.

I got a new cowl today! Isn't it beautiful!? My colleague made it for me. In return she got a necklace that I made for her. I love trading!

A cigarette butt and a yellow leaf looking all good together in a puddle. 

 

 

 

 

 Found a mirror ball that had us under it's spell for quite a while. Look at my calfs! The look huge!

Ooooh, red!

Forced David to pose too. He pretended not to like it...

When we went home I held a shiny chestnut in my hand. I love to keep lots of them in my pocket. My grandma always did that when she was alive so it feels like I'm carrying on the tradition, so to speak. It's supposed to be calming to hold chestnuts. And they are pretty too!

The hat for the season.

I am a crazy hat lady.
I really can't resist a nice hat when I see one.
This is my latest purchase from one of the fleamarkets I went to in Stockholm. I love it so much and when I jumped on the tram today a red nosed man with a walrus moustasche and white crazy hair smiled the broadest smile you could ever imagine and said to me: Gorgeous hat you've got!
Then I was happy for the rest of the day.

By the way: I'm wearing pants. I NEVER wear pants. That was all.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Flea market bonanza!

I've been visiting my sister and 8 weeks old niece this weekend. We went to two totally different flee markets and bought lots of great stuff! The first one was in a lovely suburb with not a lot of people so we had first chance on all the goodies! The second one was crazy! The entire city of Stockholm must have been there. Still found plenty of nice stuff though.

Sister found glasses!

The baby carriage was great to fill with stuff!

This guy fiddled with his girlfriends hair for a very long time.

These guys were almost from another time!

I took some pics with my cell phone on some of my great finds:

A brown hat

A raspberry red beret and a scarf with black dots on.

A red purse that fits my business cards, post cards and cell phone.

It was amazing weather in Stockholm. I even burned myself a little! In september! Me and my crazy pale skin...
Came home to a rainy Gothenburg yesterday. But I don't really care because the air is lovely and autumn is  here!! Oh, how I love autumn!
