Tea Cup Tuesday - Simply adorable

Time to share some new teacups! This cup has some white patterns and floral and golden decor. It looks pretty simple but still exquisite. 
The label says its made in Poland.

Tea Cup Tuesday - Blue roses

TodayI will share with you the teacups with blue roses and golden decor. It seems this label is from around 1918-1939, but if you know anything more about this label feel free to comment. I'd love to know more about the cups I find!

Melody

It's about one year and two months now since we adopted our cats Feo and Melody. And I still get a bit fascinated when I think about how much Melody has changed. 
Feo has always been very social, but Melody who was a very shy and not so social cat has changed and it feels like she gets more secure each day that passes by. The last few months she has seemed to be more social and she actually seems to like to be closer to me and Jim. She lays in our bed in the mornings, and she likes to cuddle in the sofa in the evenings (although you still have to go get her, she rarely comes to you by herself). But she doesn't run off like she used to do. She's still shy and acts carefully but she's a lot more courageous then when she first came to our home. 
Here's some pictures of her. She usually doesn't like to have her picture taken, but this time she seemed to like it and posed like a diva ;)

Tea Cup Tuesday - Summerflowers

Time for my second Teacup Tuesday!
I found this one cup at Bra & Begagnat a few weeks ago. As most of the cups I buy this one has floral and golden decor, my favourite. This one will be perfect for the wedding, since it feels pretty summerish and has lovely pastel colours. It looks a bit worn, some of the golden colour on the edges are gone but I think it still works.

Weddingplans

Nu är det ungefär tre månader kvar tills vi gifter oss! Jag är riktigt förväntansfull! Dom två senaste månaderna har vi haft fullt upp med att planera; hitta rätt kläder, hitta catering, frisör och florist. Vi har också letat efter mer porslin, och vi har hittat en hel del fina koppar och assietter. Så, hittills verkar saker och ting gå bra, och det känns bra att vi har bokat in och bestämt oss för dom viktigaste grejerna. 

Translation; Now it's only about three months until we get married! I'm really excited and can't wait! The last two months we have been busy finding the right clothes, the right catering, hairstylist and florist. We have also been looking for the right kind of porcelain, and we have found some very cute teacups and plates, which I plan on showing you here. So, things seems to be working out well (so far!) and I'm glad we've got so much done and some of the key decisions are made. This inspiration board is one of the first ones I made when we started to plan the wedding, and I think the key words that describes this board is also what will fit our wedding; glasjars as vases, rustic, vintage and a gorgeous cake!

Tea Cup Tuesday - Roses and gold

This is my first Tea Cup Tuesday, and I thought I'd share some pictures of one of the things I bought this weekend. I know I already shared pictures of it in the last post but I just love the floral pattern on the teacup and the small plate. 
When I'm at the second hand stores it's always patterns like this that first catches my eye. Flowers and some golden decor, what can go wrong? 
Today I enjoyed my tropical flavoured tea with some peanutcookies.

Pink roses and royal blue teacups

Det var osäkert om vi skulle kunna åka till second hand butiken i helgen, jag har haft ont i vänster arm sedan i fredags. Men som tur var så var det inte riktigt så illa under lördagen så vi åkte dit och tur var väl det. Vi kom hem med en kaktång, fyra uppsättningar av dom blå- och guldmönstrade kopparna, fyra assietter med rosa blommor och fyra koppar med rosa blommor och gulddekor. 

Translation: I have been feeling pain in my left arm since friday, so it was unsure if we could go to the second hand-store this weekend. Luckily I felt better for a while during Saturday, so we went there and this is what we found! Four pieces of each of what is shown below, except the pastrytong, we only bought one.

For the wedding

Jag och min sambo har börjat titta efter porslin till bröllopet på allvar nu när alla second-hand butiker har börjat ha öppet som vanligt igen efter sommaren. Här är vad vi hittills har hittat. Det känns som att det kan ta lite tid att få ihop så mycket som vi behöver, men vi har ju gott om tid. Det finns hur mycket porslin som helst där ute, men så ska det ju kännas rätt också; rätt storlekar på tallrikar, assietter och koppar, rätt mönster och skick samt ett bra pris. Det är tur att jag tycker det är kul att åka runt och titta på saker! 

Translation: Me and my fiancé have found a few things for our wedding. It´s quite a challenge to find the "right" things but we have plenty of time.

Beginning of autumn

Så var det söndag igen. Veckorna flyger iväg känns det som. Nästa vecka är det lite jobb, en dagsresa till Kolmården och en resa till Skövde som gäller. Förhoppningsvis får vi bra väder i djurparken. Dom senaste dagarna har det regnat och åskat, verkar som att hösten redan börjar komma. Snart dags att ta fram mysiga tjocka koftor och fylla på med tépåsar :) 
Här är två nytagna bilder på Melody och Feo!

Translation: Feels like the autumn is already coming, it feels a bit chilly outside. Next week we will go to Kolmården (zoo) and go to Skövde to visit our parents. Here's two new pictures of our cats Melody and Feo!

Oh, rainy days

Det har inte uppdaterats så mycket under sommaren, inspiration har saknats. Men nu när hösten närmar sig så kanske den kommer tillbaka?
Nåväl, idag har det regnat och tanken slog mig att jag varken äger gummistövlar eller en regntålig jacka. Kanske är något som borde införskaffas? Dom snyggaste gummistövlarna kommer från Hunter, men dom kostar ju en del.

Translation: Today when it started raining it hit me, I don't own a pair of wellies or a rainjacket. Maybe that's something I should get? These wellies from Hunter sure looks good!
