An easy gift

Yesterday we went to a friend for some Glögg. I've been raised to always give something small to the host. So I took a look at home and realized I had some vax and candles at home, so I made some Christmas candles.
You can buy the vax in a crafts shop, I save the vax from cheese (I don't think the candles smell cheese when I lit them though...).
Cut the vax in any shape you like, I like dots and lines.

Let there be light

It happened to be some moss and decorations left from the day we made wreaths. 

Instead of let it go to the trash can, I made a candlestick.

Svalbard - ghost towns and ice

Me and my friend M went to Svalbard this September. Amazing light, mazing sight and a ghost town called Pyramiden.

First Advent, time for rest and all the other things you have to do

Today it's first Advent. We celebrate it here in different ways. C went to the church, I listened to the service on the radio, had a long breakfast and then went for a walk.
But what we all did was light the first candle in the Advent candlestick.
I bought candles with numbers on, and placed them on saucers that I found on the internet. They are from the Swedish porcelain factory Gustafsberg and is called Salix, it's one of my favourites, but I've never found the cups, so this was a good way of using the saucers.

Happy Advent to all of you, now I'm going to wrap the first chrismas gifts and make some carnation oranges.
