It has been so sunny that little propagator on our window is heated from sun and it has been real rain forest climat over there! Lovely. Can not wait to see them growing more.
We are planning a little trip, and I sow rest of the herbs and flowers just when we are back that they wont die if we are a way.

First Herbs of the Spring is already growing in my propagator!
My seed from Thompson & Morgan Finally arrived. as well as pink pair of garden gloves, propagators, bird food ( for our little Robin) and mouse traps ( those ones that we use to catch them and release on nature rather than kill) but my sweet pea was missing. hopefully thay will send it to me soon.
We are due to make a little trip, did not know when started to sow them, so I started with only one Propagator lucky me. I will ask help from our great neighbors if they can take care of my herbs while I am gone. Can not wait to see them growing!
I am so in love with our little backyard that you can not imagine. After living years in Helsinki in this great old Jugend building with no balcony or garden, I really love this!
Time for lemon cupcakes and cardamom tea with milk and honey!

Spring style
I have been such a home spirited sweetie this winter that I wanted to write from something else.
I have lost 10kg of my weight, and feel like having little something new to my wardrobe. Not just yeat, I´ll give my self 2 more weeks to get rid of some fat, and then hopefully get to go little shopping.
I don´t know how others, but I tend to dress up to black whole winter, it is my security color against cold. Why.. have no idea, but this is how it goes.
It has been couple of warmer days lately, and by Spring spirit wakes up, trying to find something new to put on ( not weight this time) difference this time is: I don´t really have too much of a choises. When we moved to UK I sold so much of my clothes in fleemarket, thinking that I will NEVER fit in to them anymore, that I must buy at least new coat for spring and couple of other items, to be up dated. NO MORE BLACK , or I at least try something little lighter. I try to avoid these very bright colours, they are not good when I am so pale that I almost shine in a dark.. ha ha. It is true. So I try to keep my color palette neutral, and finally try to buy something that would look grown up, and timeless. What do you think of these!
I really like this Jacket. it is from M&S not a top quality, but will do fine. I like the shade, since anything too "warm" brown and I look like I have liver failure. I might want to change buttons, I am not sure what they are like in real. They might be little too shiny and too "golden".
Something like this could do fine if I find Vintage pearl buttons, they would be perfec!
Still shopping at M&S.
I really like this dress, it has very calm feeling and it looks like it is very comfy to wear.
It has a row of tiny buttons on the other side, very cute detail. I most defenetly would need this one.
This would be other option, it is from Next.
I have also try to look if I would see pair of shoes to go with everything else, and came up for these.
I think they are contemporary enough but has some vintage vibe. I wanted to have something that would go together with skirt, dresses, as well as trousers. ( and are good to walk, since London is mad place to go anywhere.. you and up walking miles even if just stopping by for tea with a friend) These may stay out of my reach, and I will just buy my boring pair of black ballet pumps like I have done years already. They go with everything, and are comfy enough to go around.
What do you think of my color palette? I will safe crazy bright colors for summer, when I have little bit of tan. I think these will do fine. And.. No black really. It is spring.
I seem to have endless talent to find things I MUST have, here are some that I think would go so well together with everything else I have.
Patent belt with bow, little silly but oh so Feminine..
I really like these, shirt and skinny trousers, they are very Classic and would go already early spring with gardigan, and ballerinas, as well as in the summer just like this.
Jacket with skinny trousers is must!! I am after 1960´s feminine and elegant style.
I might go for this. I think it would look nice with crispy white shirt, or black turtleneck polo if weather is chilly. Yeap, black turtle neck polo.. but hey, it was bought for winter after all.
