isn’t this norwegian home gorgeous?! i have been to norway only once and absolutely loved every minute being there even though it was the middle of winter. there is something fresh yet cosy about how they style their homes. and all the girls are simply stunning … i felt like a dark horse among such white blondy blondes.

we had our bedroom painted white this weekend. it feels fresh, crisp, white. so now i’m going crazy on Pinterest with ideas on how to decorate. it is such fun !

hope you had a fabulous Easter break.

eurovision 2012.

when i think of Eurovision all i can say is: wow ! at points during this year’s Eurovision i was speechless. i was without speech. wow. i still haven’t worked out whether or not the performers are actually serious, nevertheless, they give it their absolute best & i’m happy to be entertained by their many talents! the SBS commentary was outstanding this year & the twitter feed was genius.

the winner of Eurovision 2012 was truly outstanding. a friend of mine messaged me during the performance of Loreen from Sweden,

“Sweden just does it for me. Is there something wrong with me? I want to go and download it now.”

she echoes my thoughts exactly.  Loreen was a cut above the rest – she was so elegant & beautiful … the snow & the slo-mo at the end were a very very special treat !

but i must say, i keep coming back to my favourite Eurovision winner … Alexander Rybak from Norway in 2009 … check this:

Eurovision 2013 in Sweden … i’m counting down the days already !

* fact: Celine Dion was discovered when she won Eurovision 1991. wow !

** and yes… ABBA were discovered at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest … they sang ‘Waterloo’ which I love & found it hard to believe that during the interval act on the second night of the semi’s the performers forgot the words???!!!!
