on my feet...
If you are allergic to cuteness you better look away! Don't tell me I didn't warn you beforehand!
I have had these autumn shoes since around 2005, until now my autumns have been spent in pretty rainy weather (read London town), so I haven't really been wearing this cutie pies until the autumn of 2011 (my word, time flies). Now I wear them almost everyday, and let me tell you, I have never had so many nice comments about my shoes before.

My Internet Treasures
Four things that I spend my internet time on
1. Fun lifestyle based blogs
2. Reading the news (no telly for me)
3. As of late I scout youtube for fun hair- and 60s makeup tutorials...
4. ... and old fashion shows and such from the 30s to the 70s (let me tell you, it's amazing what you can come a cross)

Looking forward to autumn
Okay, it's safe to say: Summer is gone!
We had a great summer of 2011, almost better then all the rest, we tend to travel a lot during the summer when our family doesn't live in the same country as us. I love to travel, don't get me wrong, but it can me somewhat stressful, everyone wants to meet up, and in the end you always get to hear how sorry everyone is that they did not get to see you more and so on. But this year we made it simple, a short visit, stress free and I'll think that was the trick.
Here's some highlight of our summer 2011:

Time to let that go, I'm actually looking forward to the autumn now! With candle lights, knitted cardigans and great dinner parties!

When you read this I'm up in the air, on my way abroad on a work related trip, gosh, I hate flying, especially alone. Well, I'm not going to be alone, but without my fiancé and son, I just hate it!
Hopefully I've gotten a Bloody Mary, then I probably in a better mood.
Anyway, I have prepared a little post, nothing special really, just so you can have something to read here at Hazel Lou Soup while I'm gone. It will just be for a few days, I'll be back in a jiffy.

Corners of my home; Lamp Edition
Almost all our lamps are old once! Vintage and family finds. I have a thing for old lamps! This one above, the base is old, but the lampshade is pretty new.
This my grandma and grandpa got as a gift when they moved in together, over 50 years ago. This might be one of my favourites.
O, this is not a lamp as you can see, but a darn cute pillow in our sofa, it just had to be shared.
A globe from 1976, when I removed the bulb, it was original made in the USSR, it worked fine, but we wanted something energy saving. Still got the bulb though.
some romantic light in the bedroom, my son got to same in his
I bought this lamp in a lamp shop while visiting New Orleans some years ago. We traveled the US for three months and New Orleans was our third stop. Which means that I carried around this lamp on the rest of our trip, very carefully! Still love it a whole lot.
This is also one of my favourite lamp! It's from my grandpa and in such good condition!
We have more lamps up in the attic, but not enough sockets or windows at the place we currently renting. Some day!

"The Scandinavian Mystery Tour"
Last weekend (I know a bit to late to talk about last weekend now, but I have had a bit going on so).
Anyway, Saturday was this perfect mysterious Scandinavian autumn day; lingering mist, crisp air, dew grass, and red and yellow leaves falling like raindrops to the ground!

We chose this day to take a tram- ride to a city farm we had read about
Me, acting like; "what-are-you-taking-my-picture-I-had-no-idea", but I knew!
Leaves, not the prettiest once though. Outside our house there's piles and piles of (what I think is) oak leaves, I better take a picture of those instead.
When we get our own house one day, I ought to make it one with a grass roof. So Norwegian, so beautiful!
Finally at the City Farm, there was lots of strange looking hens...
... horses (not so many of them in there boxes though)...
...and birds that gave Angry Birds a whole new meaning!
This is probably very normal for a sheep to do (otherwise, why would there be a mirror, right!?), but this was so cute, he stood there looking in that mirror for quite sometime (there was plenty of other sheeps around, so he wasn't alone). CUTE!
cows, pigs you name it, the farm probably had it... but, nothing is better then an old fashioned playground visit. So before heading home, we played for a bit.
o, there I am again, "more" aware of the camera. And finally there's beret weather, hate those in the middle periods, when there is sort of to warm to wear one, and to cold not to, if that make sense! This one is my favourite vintage one, in pea-green from Mary Quant.
How magical is this!?
