I am loving these photographs by Annika Vannerus, discovered by the lovely Mary Ruffle. While, I have you looking at gorgeous Scandinavian images, I have to tell you my exciting news. I am going to Sweden for a month! I will be there the end of the summer, living in a tiny cottage (with a grass roof!) by the sea. I'll be working the entire time I am away, so I'll be sharing all the details with you! Does anyone else have fun or exciting summer plans?
that's amazing chelsea...I so look forward to your posts and photos from Sweden :) :) :)

I do! I do! Though not the same kind... we're having a baby girl in July. ;) But I expect my backyard and nearby parks will be about as far as I travel.

I was in Norway once and we stayed in a cottage (I think they call them huttas?) with a grass roof. it was magical. we DID eat berries and cream on waffles for breakfast! the air was so clean...

Carol, your experience in Norway sounds amazing!! My job will still be my funny bunch of jobs! Flowers, styling, and blogging!
Hi Lindsay, Your internship sounds fun! What do you intern in? I'd wanted to go to Sweden forever and since I can sort of work from anywhere decided I'd better go now while I can! I've been saving my pennies and when I found the right cottage, I knew I had to go!
Posted by: chelsea | May 05, 2009 at 05:20 PM
