Welcome May 1st
I'm so happy that today is May 1st. I woke with a burst of energy, creativity and hope for the month ahead. My lovely friend and neighbor, Tinna, just returned from her other home in Denmark where she is from and stopped by for a visit which was so nice of her. I love when she pops in to say hello. I'm lucky that she is both a friend and my neighbor - she lives directly above us!
Tinna was so cute when she rang my doorbell. First, she is always so stylish and has the brightest smile and I just love it! She is very Danish! She brought me a copy of BoligLiv magazine and a beautiful Dronning Ingrid pot plant and I love the pale pink against the green. It's very much a symbol of Denmark, this sweet little plant, and so of course it's special to me to have one. My first Dronning Ingrid. And she was right because she said that I'll see these plants frequently in Danish magazines and on blogs -- and I do! Dronning Ingrid is impossible to find here, even though I live only a few hours drive from the Danish border... so it is very special that I have this sweet Danish flowering plant in my window.
Her gift made my day, not to mention the tons of warm sun and all of the organizing I got done today. I have hundreds of books sorted and magazines stacked by category. The next step is to file them away but I'll do that another day. I cooked an amazing Turkey dish with French herbs, garlic and lemon (the house smells wonderful!) and I cleaned, ironed, did laundry... my goodness I can't even believe all I got done though I worked in my home for 12 hours straight. Thorsten was such a lovely helper too, I love how my husband is always so quick to help me when I need it and today, I needed it as I had so much energy that I felt the need to seize the moment... But now...
I am tired!
But inspired. :)
Hope your May 1st started off lovely, too.

i like your garland in front of the mirror very much!
greetings, wibke
thank you for stopping by my blog. I´m so happy that you liked my post about Decorate. Of course I had to write about your book, it´s simply lovely!
I love the flower, it´s my favorite. I did not know it was named Dronning Ingrid, so nice.
I really would love to come to Amsterdam and "meet the blogger", but NIB here in Norway are having a blogger-party too, at the same date. Hope to join next time.
Soon I´m of to IKEA to shop, need some stuff for my kitchen-renovation.
Wish you a wonderful & sunny day!
Sweet smiles,
Jeanette
