Picnic, Ducks, and Swinging From a Tree






The summer in Sweden has been amazing this year! Warm and sunny almost every day! So since we want to enjoy it as much as we can while it lasts, me, my sister, and our mom decided to have a picnic together in Rålambshovsparken! I remembered I had an unused summer dress in my closet, that I bought at the latest burlesque flea market, so this was a good day to let it out in the sun! It's vintage, 50s or 60s, in a very lightweight, transparent, flowy fabric - demonstrated in the pictures above!




Summer picnics in Sweden means rosé wine, and if you like a sweet tasting rosé, I can highly recommend this one - Lord Zinclair! I just realized this is the second time in about one week I've given you tips on wine, but I'm not sponsored or anything! They should sponsor me though. Considering how much I like drinking it... Oh well...



After a while a few guests arrived. But as we didn't want to share our wine with a bunch of alcoholic ducks, they went away pretty soon.




To cool ourselves off a bit, we went down to the water, where my lovely mom decided to try to swing from a tree. Of course I couldn't be worse than my own mother, and also had to try this interesting activity! 




And this is how it ended! No one fell in the water - which probably would have ended up in some funny pictures though...

15 Years With Rocky

Some of you might be familiar with the comic strip Rocky, written by Martin Kellerman - who happens to be the brother of my landlady Fanny. Last week Martin held an event to celebrate fifteen whole years of writing Rocky! It always amazes me how comic strip artists can come up with new things to write all the time, and then to be able to do it for fifteen years...




I threw on a vintage, 50s dress, and skipped away to the event in the company of Michael. His wife Fanny joined us later.




The party was held at Häktet's outside bar, situated in a closed-in yard in the middle of Stockholm. Very cozy!




Here is Martin Kellerma himself! Signing copies of some of his collected work through the years.




The best clutch of the evening looked like an old newspaper, and was owned by Tia!

Now Rocky also has his own wine! I tried the red one at the event, and it tasted just fine!
