HAPPY NEW YEAR!***

I'm gonna start it by reading a new book; Nigel Slater's Kitchen diaries which was on my wish list for years. "I have always loved the first day of the year. A day ringing with promise" the author says and I am already hooked by this book. :)

In the beginning of December I won on Paula's lovely giveaway and received her pretty ornaments yesterday (thank you!). They are all as delicate, beautiful, unique and special as this little white dove. May your 2013 be just such, full of hope and everything good.***

See you next year! :)

After week of joyous visits, gatherings and feasts cold reminded me to take some time just for myself so I spent most of my day at home in my pajamas watching Mad man, reading books, drinking tea and resting. It would be nicer to do all that without the cold though... :)

photos: our Christmas tree, gnomes I made out of clay, Stella's ceramic candle holder, Božična knjiga - gift from our friends and evidence that it's high time to wash our windows. :)

The loveliest Christmas ornament I saw this year (so far) is this drawing on paper made by my talented friend.
More Christmas photos coming soon...
Oh and I almost forgot; you can win set of my magnets with other amazing goodies on La casita giveaway! Good luck*

Christmas has always been a family holiday for me and this year it's even more special since Ram and I  are expecting our first baby in the beginning of May!!! I can't even put all emotions in words so I won't even try...  let's just say we are all happy to the roof and that I am grateful, curious, excited and... :)

I wish you all peaceful, jolly and magical Christmas and thank you for all the support and beautiful comments throughout the whole year!*

ps: Our friend Lea draw me this wonderful drawing years ago as a gift.

Let the Christmas festivities begin! :)

We have a tradition of decorating a tree on Christmas evening... I can't wait to do it... this waiting is tough this year. :) What customs and traditions do you have with Christmas trees?

I can't wait this week to end... I am looking forward to Christmas holidays, spending time with family and friends and doing all the nice things that this busy month deprive me of. I hope there is something nice that you are looking forward to as well.*

ps: On the second photo is lovely package with Knots collective flyers (a pop-up shop which I was a small part of) from Alessandra.

We are ready for 2013 with wonderful Marimekko wall calendar with amazing illustrations by Aino-Maija Metsola. I am looking forward of daily looking at it and writing down all the birthdays, nice meetings and so on...

Some photos from today's long and relaxing walk with my mum. 

Have a nice start of a new week tomorrow!

We woke up into a winter fairytale this morning. We rarely have snow that's why it is quite a big deal here... and very magical! ;)
