{Tumblr Crush} I am a dreamer

Sunday greetings my darlings! I hope this week has been kind to you and you are at good heart in planning the next.

As mentioned in my first post in this little series of my Tumblr crushes, I want to introduce some of my favourite blogs to you.

 

One of my very favourite tumblr blogs is 'I am a dreamer' by Val Molière and I must always restrain myself so not to reblog all her posts! I often wonder whether we are spireted twins because I feel so recognized and at home on her blog. Rustic nature and living meets challenging and inspiring design are perhaps the two key features on her blog. Whenever I have visited it, I feel more at ease and appreciative no less.

 

So here is a small compliation of her pictures which add up to this fantastic blog. Enjoy.

Glædelig søndag til jer alle. Jeg håber, at denne uge har været god ved jer og at I ser frem til den næste.

Som jeg nævnte i det første indlæg i denne serie af Tumblr Crushes, så vil jeg introducere nogle af mine favorit blogs til jer.

 

En af mine absolutte favoritter er 'I am a dreamer' af Val Molière, og jeg skal virkelig styre mig for ikke at bruge alle hendes indlæg. Jeg har spekuleret på om vi er sjælelige tvillinger da jeg føler mig så genkendt og som om at jeg er hjemme når jeg ser på hendes blog. Rustik natur og bolig møder inspirerende og innovativt design er vel nok hovedtemaet ved hendes blog. Hver gang jeg besøger den føler jeg mig bedre tilpas og inspireret.

 

Så en lille samling af de billeder, som er med til at udgøre denne smukke tumblr blog. 

 

    

 

All images found via Val Molière's tumblr. Please visit her blog and enjoy much more like these.

{DIY Fairy Bell Journal}

I just saw this DIY over at a lovely little blog called Ghost Sailors. A fairy bell journal to envoke the presence of fairies because it is said that whenever a little bell chimes, a fairy is near. How lovely is that!?

I will just share two photos from her thorough step-by-step guide to cretaing your own. A definite must for some of my notebooks.

Jeg har lige set denne eventyrlige gør-det-selv ovre på en lille blog, som hedder Ghost Sailors. Hvem vil ikke gerne have en notesbog, som fortæller hvornår der er feer i nærheden? For hver gang en lille klokke klinger er der en fe tæt på dig. Er det ikke fint?

Jeg viser bare to af hendes udførlige guide til at lave sådant et fe-omslag til dine bøger. Det er i hvert fald noget, som jeg skal ved nogle af mine.

{Decor inspiration: French Daybeds}

Hi guys! Spring and almost summer has finally come to Aarhus and yet I am stuck inside revising and writing my papers.. Agony!

But today I have a guest post for you from Arcadian Lighting as a small making amends for my lack of posting.

Please enjoy...

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hi, I'm Mari, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, the place for light fixtures and lighting ideas on the Internet. As part of my work, I get to visit lovely blogs like The Dandelion Chronicles. I'm so excited to be visiting with you today to talk about fabulous lazy French daybeds. The daybed is one of my favorite pieces of furniture—so beautiful and versatile at the same time. It seems a daybed can fit into almost any space, from bedroom to living room or study. There's something so inherently appealing about French daybeds, whether they're upholstered or dressed up in gorgeous bedding. They also look absolutely stunning with a chandelier! With so many lovely examples, it was difficult to choose only eight, but we persevered and here they are. Please enjoy!

Wrought iron with a garden look, this shapely French daybed is all decked out in some of Bella Notte's crisp white linens and fabulous embroidered velvet bedding

With classic good looks and formal lines, this smoky purple daybed is perfect for lazy weekend lounging.

Another traditional French daybed is stunning in pearl gray. At night, this space will look even more gorgeous space in the glow a quintessential French light fixture, the glamorous crystal chandelier.

All about rustic elegance, the Somerset from French Laundry Home is a perfect daybed for rooms filled with faded glory by design.

Can you say elegant chic French style? With traditional lines, this whitewashed daybed looks gorgeous in a contemporary setting. It invites an avid reader to while away pleasant hours propped against comfortable pillows.

How inviting is this draped French daybed? I love the large scale painting and not one, but two sparkling chandeliers.

Architectural Digest brought us the home of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne and this was one of my favorite corners. I love everything about this image—sumptuous velvet on a French daybed/chaise, yummy silk drapes, Chinoiserie wallpaper and the lovely little wall sconce.

Perhaps my first choice of all our lazy French daybeds--even without a mattress and bedding to dress it up, this one is simply beguiling. Doesn't it evoke questions about where it's traveled and what gorgeous spaces it's been a part of?

What are your thoughts on french day beds? Would you use one in your bedroom? Don't forget to stop by Arcadian Lighting here to find a pendant light or chandelier to perfectly complement your design!

{Fairy Bread}

The cutest and girliest snack ever! Fairy Bread.

Apparently, it is a huge hit downunder at children's parties and no wonder - sliced white bread with butter and sprinkles. That's it!

{EmmaKisstina}

I actually don't remember anymore where I first stumpled upon Swedish illustrator Emma Kristina Hultkrantz's amazing artworks. But they had me hooked with their whimsical and yet minimalist style. The bold edges and pastel colours are an amazing combo.

Some of you may know her from Matchbook Magazine where she does a take on What's In My Bag with all the famous ladies out there, like Marilyn, Jackie, Birgitte, Coco etc.

{Anne of Green Gables}

And today, I just discovered she has started a small line of scarves with her wonderful prints. Limited of about 100 each, these could really become a treasure and a keepsake. I am quite hooked on the Marie Antoinette one.

 {Marie Antoinette}

{Glamour}

I am thinking of saving up for custom bespoke illustrations of the three luxury items I am saving for, like a white Birkin bag, Chanel 2.55 bag, and Louboutin heels. Just to help me remind myself everyday when I dance around in my apartment.

{Pink Still Life}

In case you love her work as much as I do, check out her shop at etsy and her online portfolio.

She also has a blog where she posts inspirations and small everyday things.

Award!!

I have just recieved my very first blog award from my high school friend Ina from Inadesign

I'm so thrilled!! So thank you very much, dear Ina..

There's a couple of award rules to go along with this:

1: link back to the person awarding you

2: Pass on the award to five bloggers who has less than 100 followers

3: Answer the following questions

1: Why did you start to blog? I started this blog as a way to keep track of all the things that inspire me, and to eventually expose my own art. This last is still in it's early days but I'm working to get a small business up and runnning, so you will definately see more of me and my art.

2: Which blogs do you follow? A lot! I'm very fond of decorating and art related blogs, and usually the very whimsical and perhaps girly blogs grap my attention much more than those just devoted to one sole topic. It's the over all feel to the blog than the actual posts that makes me stop by again and again.

3: Favourite colours? Depends on what they are used for. For dressing myself, I like basically everything. But everything with modesty - or a touch of I don't give a d***! Interiors always catch my eye when containing pink, grey, yellow and purple. But my overall favourite colour would be PINK

4: Favourite movie? I like the classics like Gone with the Wind, Breakfast at Tiffany's and John Wayne and WW2-movies, old and new. Especially fond of Charlotte Grey with Cate Blanchette.

5: Dream destination and why? I would love to visit Kenya on a photo safari! That would be my numero uno but other places that I would love to go are Cuba, the Riviera, Vienna, Northern Norway to see the Northern Lights, and Mexico on La Día de los Muertos.

Passing the award on to:

The Wildfleur (former Paris in Pink)

It's all Greek to me

Paperbacks & Postcards

Stines kreative tanker (in Danish)

So there you go... Have a lovely rest of Sunday and I'll see you next week..

Table for One, Please..

I love spending time on cafés and doodle, draw or write about my observations on the people around me. I find that people tend to do the funniest things in order to avoid contact in a crowded place. Especially if they are about to leave the establishment, they will rather twist their arms and joints than ask and apologize for stretching over another's 'sphere'! Hilarious! I usually giggle a lot at these things so people might think I'm mental but I don't care - and kinda like it...

Image from Audrey Hepburn Complex

Inspired by Clémence Poésy

I am in love with her name.. Simple as that! Seriously POETRY!? How freaking lucky is it to be named that? I'm full of envy..

So I will dedicate these pictures to that amazing name. I really don't know anything about except she's an actress and a model from France. So here goes Parisian Chic, fashion, pink, romantic, and stylish. Enjoy...

Mor Cosmetics. Aren't these just gorgeous? I love the name, scent and look of these goodies. Via

How incredible wouldn't it be to invite your friend for tea time and serving with Flora Danica!? I mean, a cup is like a gazillion and that's just the start of prices! But pretty pretty pretty.. I would ask for the violet designs, you know if I was to order.. ehm.. a cup.. ehm.. Via





Otherwise, if I can't have the Flora Danica I could settle for this charming set. I really think Manolo or Louboutin should design a set with their illustrations. Like the Laduree boxes.. Via





They just have prettier houses there.. I want a pretty building too.. Via





Another picture of Mor Cosmetics. Its just so cute.. and the cupcakes looks tasty! Via





One of my favourite perfumes.. And a bit of Parisian chic.. Via



So there you go.. I'm just in a frency feel at the moment. Consider daily how I can move to Paris and live of my art. Haven't quite figured that out yet but in dreams anything goes. In dreams, I too have a poetic name and a charming pout (my lips are too big in real life. I look like I have an allergic reaction if I make a pout!) I'm also wondering how I can make my apartment look more Parisian so I'm looking over various pictures of French inspired rooms but please mail me or comment if you have ideas or links. I'd be glad for more inspirations. I'm that lazy that I want to do it right the first time..

See you tomorrow with my Weekly faves..

Want want want!!!
