The Hatparade!

For the second year in a row hatmaker and sex-inspirer Marika Smith invited everyone in the possession of a hat to join the Hatparade!




We've had a really cold and grey summer this year in Sweden. But on this day - which also happened to be my birthday - the sun was shining, and it was warm and nice!




We all gathered outside the beautiful Hallwyl Museum. It was great to see people of all ages and styles had come to join in the parade.




Then we all paraded towards Djurgården (The Royal Game Park), where we sat down in the grass for a picninc.










It was a lovely day, and the perfect way to celebrate my birthday. Already looking forward to next year's Hatparade!

Vintage Picnic

A few months ago all vintage bloggers in the Stockholm area got together for some afternoon tea, to get to know each other a bit outside the blog-world. We wanted to do something together again, and decided to have a picnic on Djurgården (The Royal Hunting Ground) on Sweden's National Day - 6 June!


Since the weather has been far from summery the last days, we were a bit worried about the picnic. But - lo and wonder - that whole day turned out to be sunny and warm! 


Elsa accidentally put her chocolates in the sun so it melted. This turned out to be perfect though - since we then could dip strawberries in it!

One man had borough his phonograph, so we could listen to old music all day!


Strawberries on a strawberry blanket!

He managed to take a picture of me taking a picture of his wife.


The wife - Fanny!

On our National Day the Royal Family always takes part in a ceremony at Skansen (the zoo), outside of which we were sitting. So in the afternoon we watched the King and Queen go by...


...As well as the princesses and princes!


The lovely day ended with dinner at Hasselbacken. I love days like these, and already look forward to the next picnic - which I hope will take place soon!
