Flowered plates

To create a beautiful table setting you can use flowered plates to add a little spring atmosphere.

When using floral plates, it is not necessary to decorate the table so much further. For example it's really nice, to just use a white tablecloth and simple glasses along with the flowered plates.

The ones on the pictures are from Søstrene Grene, and they are made of plastic, so you can also take them with you on a picnic at the beach.

Hope

" HOPE is the dream of infinite possibilities and the feeling that desired and positive things can happen".

This is the text on a candle, I bought yesterday at H&M. I think, it is a very positive and beautiful text, and it is a good way to remind yourself never to give up hope on anything.

I wish you all a wonderful day with lots of love, hope and happiness.

Street art

Copenhagen contains many things to see and do. But art can not only to be found in museums.

If you walk around at Vesterbro, you will see art everywhere. I was there the other day enjoying the sun, and I took some pictures of the things, I liked the most.

Oatmeal biscuits

When making biscuits I have often thought about them as being delicious but not so healthy. Then I started replacing some of the flour with oatmeal and adding a little less sugar. It's still a cake, but a more healthy one.

You can vary the amount of oatmeal and flour, depending on how you like it, but here is the recipe, I used for these delicious ones, you see on the pictures.

Ingredients:

250 grams of butter.

225 grams of flour.

1/2 dl. sugar.

1 teaspoon vanilla sugar.

1 spoon baking powder.

1,5 dl. oatmeal.

(oil /water.)

First you mix flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, oatmeal and baking powder. Then you add melted butter and stir.

Then you add oil or water, until your dough is moist and even.

Make small balls of the dough, and bake them in a preheated oven on 200 degrees for 5- 10 minutes.

Guest food

 

If you are having a reception or a get-together for family and friends, it is always good to have food, that looks delicious and works as a delicate accessory for the drinks.

On the pictures you see my suggestions, which are:

1) Small pancakes with prawns and lumpfish roe. The small pancakes are smeared with cream cheese, before the shrimp is added.

2) Mini toasts with sour creme and lumpfish roe on top.

Have a nice day :)

Moments

Heels

Regardless if you are going to a party or a dinner on a warm spring evening, heels will spice up your outfit.

I found these pairs from Asos and Topshop. The styles are all very different, and the white ones can be used during daytime, whereas the silver would be perfekt for a cocktail date.
All of these shoes can be bought online.
