ROYAL SWEDISH WEDDING PARTY

To celebrate the Swedish Crown princesses wedding I threw a party this Saturday. I served meatballs gravad lax, herring etc. We watched the wedding via the Internet and drank bubbly all nigth. I even made a "Prinsess Tårta" with the Sweish Flag as a motiv. It was a very successful party.

RHODES IS NOW A PLACE ON SÖDERMALM IN STOCKHOLM

I was in Stockholm this weekend to attend some parties etc....
I took my normal walking route and found this lovely cafe on the south promenade on Södermalm towards Årsta. A lovely old caravan in light blue serves as the kiosk with coffee, drinks, ice creams, buns etc.
On the blackboard you can read, "Welcome to Rhodos" and through the speakers you can hear Calypso music. Open when it does not rain with pastel coloured outdoor furniture and deck chair on the nearby jetty.

ANTHROPOLOGIE IN KINGS ROAD

If you still have not been to a Anthropologie Store it is high time. I have already talked about the one in Regent Street, London and now there is a new one in Kings Road, London. With waterfall, lot´s of green foliage and of course, there eclectic and very personal mix of styles and colours. A shabby chic and laid back style with essences of folklore!
Inspiring!

The most easy peasy potato salad you make from freshly cooked new potatoes. When they are still warm drizzle over a salad dressing made from 1 part lemon juice, 2 parts olive oil, 1 garlic clove finely chopped, a drizzle of runny honey, season with salt and black pepper!
Garnish with rocket and spinach leaves. Serve immediately, perfect with meat etc from the BBQ!
