Here is my heart, guard it well
Old kitschy jewelry box, found years ago at a thrift store. It reminds me of my childhood; I saw these boxes in peoples homes and I thought they where just beautiful.

Komet
old cigar box, found in thrift store.
My inspiration was Camilla's photos of Swedish packages
Here you can read about the Swedish ship Götheborg, sailing to China.
Right now they are in Cape Town and as you maybe have noticed, so is my little sister. They are giving their opera performance today.

Spork
This useful tool is for my youngest to eat with when he goes for his winter manoeuvre in Lapland.
There it can be -30ºC or colder and Mum think it's nicer to eat with a plastic spork than metallic cutlery (Dad carved him a wooden spoon, too).
I read about it in our daily paper and bought it at Naturkompaniet

Bleeding hearts
We call them lieutenants hearts in Swedish. That's because of a little story you can tell about the flower: Turn a little heart upside down and it looks like a girl with a crinoline. Take her "clothes" off and what is left in a lieutenants heart? A bottle (of champagne)...

Hearts in craft
I made this bracelet back in March last year and now I'm going to fill it with hearts.
The red and the pink ones are pearls I found at Pärlshopen.
Love. Dangerously.

Amber heart
From my little heart collection.
It has a silver sheet with madonna and the child. My uncle, who was a sailor, bought this to his mother (my maternal grandmother), probably in Poland. It was originally a necklace but now it's just like a thin flake of amber left.
Another heart
