Fair Ester

Around Ester it is finally warm enough in Norway to enjoy sitting down out-door after a long journey skiing in white rugged mountain landscape contemplating. Traditionally families brings hot chocolate, sandwiches and oranges for their out-door lunch. While chocolate and nuts is a must as energy busters while walking the long distances. At far away mountain plateaus, Norwegian traditions are mixed with a helping hand to secure education for Ghanaian children – through the Fair-trade alternative! Happy Fair Ester!

3rd Sunday of Advent

The third light of Advent shines while we elaborate over a wonderful weekend.

Two Angels at my table

Christmas is also about angels. I am lucky enough to have two of them in my house. As any mother I always look for good role models and images to identify with for my children. Living in Norway, it is still hard to find images showing that angels comes in all colors. I have therefor made some to underline that fact.

Two cast figures made in ready-made forms. The coloring didn´t mix well, but the girls were happy with the result and keep each their sample by their bed.

These two angels hanging at our entrance hall during advent and christmas did not have a politically correct birth, but they are still popular images in the home. After the holidays there is always sales on products that were not soled for its season. Last year I found some ginger bread dolls at 70% off. With some dressing and new hear, they became exactly what I were looking for.
