tine k summer collection

Posted on January 23, 2012 by danielle | 6 Comments

I see a lot of pretty pastel colors for the coming spring / summer season. I am not too fond of soft pink and mint green but I do like these beautiful purple and blue hues.

Danish company Tine K has a lot of soft purple and blue in their summer 2012 collection. These colors combined with white and beige create a clean and fresh yet warm look.

First of all I want to thank you all for the very sweet comments and email. This truly means a lot to me! Your encouraging words do help me and it is heartwarming to know that I have that many friends around the world. Although I am still very sad, I am trying to pick up my daily routine.

sad news to share

Posted on January 17, 2012 by danielle | 183 Comments

Dear readers, you might have noticed my absence last week. There is a very sad reason for this. My mother, who has been ill since last year, passed away last Wednesday. We knew that this day would come but it is still very hard to cope with. Thank you to all of you who have supported me with comments and personal email over the past months. This is very much appreciated.

Although I am having a hard time right now and my heart is filled with grief, I will try to continue blogging on a daily basis as usual.

Love, Danielle
