Now it is time to share good things with family and friends. I wish you a very good Christmas Eve and a very cosy Christmas time. Don't eat and drink to much!

Living in a Christmas Card / Bo i et Julkort

Yes, it is a lot of snow here, it is like living in a Christmas Card. I like it a lot. It's beautiful.
Even if it is not that easy always. When I have to go out with the car on the roads early and they have not cleaned yet. But I did anyway, and I really enjoyed it.

Det är mycket snö nu här. Det är som et livet i en Julkort. Jag gillar det mycket. Det är så vackert.
Det er inte alltid lätt. När du ska köra bil tidigt i morgon och vägar är inte skjutit. Men det körte ändå, och jag gillade det.

White Christmas? / Vita Jul?

Will it be a white Christmas this year?

It has been snowing a lot. And it is looking like a fairy tail, it is so nice to be outside. To see the nice red houses covered with snow, really a magic world. But will it stay till Christmas? I hope so...

Ska det vara en vita Jul i år?

Vi fick mycket snö. Det ser ut som en saga, det är så fint ute. Att se dem små röd hus betäckt med snö, en riktig magisk värld. Men ska det blir innan Jul? Jag hoper...

Advent: Christmas is coming / Jul på vägen

I like it very much, Advent. The dark periode is ending soon. Only some weeks to go to Christmas. After it it will be lighter again.
Advent means "an event -Christmas- is coming". Four Sundays before Christmas, you start burning one of four candles. Every Sunday after you can burn a candle more till Christmas. The first Advent is often celebrated with family and friends. Also known as Adventsmys. Before that date you decorate your house for Christmas, inside en outside. Maybe you can find some inspiration here.

Jag gillar det, Advent. Slut av denne mörke perioden. Bara några vecka till Jul.
Därefter ska vi ha mer ljus igen.
Advent, det menar att Jul är på vägen. Fira Söndagen för Jul, börjar man att tända ett av fira ljus.
Varje Söndag efter tänder du ett ljus mer, till Jul.

About me

Hello, so nice you are visiting my blog. I'm Brun Arntz. Since 2016 I'm living on the countryside in Småland Sweden. I'm working on a lot of creative projects. My biggest project is my dream was to create a big garden, with a nice natural design filled with self grown flowers with my green fingers. As you can reed in my blog, I'm still working on this project now. It makes my happy to live so close to nature, to go with the flow. It brings me a lot of balance in my life. Another project is to be creative with natural materials to make home and garden decorations. For Christmas, Wintertime, Eastern, Spring or just a normal day. That gives me a lot of spirit! Or in wintertime I try to renew old stuff. It is easy to scoren some old furniture in a famous Swedish loppis (Secondhand). Of course with nice colors in the Scandinavian style, light, simply and natural. Specially green, of course... Now I'm dreaming to have a typical Swedish Trädgårdscafe where people can have Swedish Fikatime (time for having coffee and cakes) with a lot of places to sit somewhere in a very nice garden. But the Coronavirus disturbed my planning....but maybe next spring? Great that you want to follow some my projects. I hope it will give you good spirit and inspiration too. Greetings from Brün

My garden

Once upon a time there was a very nice garden around Stegaryd Sjöbygget Gamla Skola. After the school was closed in the 50's the new owner started creating a garden around the place. The place was well known in the surroundings to be full of flowers and the lady was always working in the garden (a little bit like me now, just because I like it so much). When she got too old the house was sold as a summerhouse, the garden was not longer taken care of. When we came, in 2016, we started to clean up and recover what once was there. Because gardening, designing, creating and growing plants is my passion and love. The goal is to create a natural garden with grandma's plants and some prairiegarden influences. After 5 years, we are not ready yet but a lot of heavy work is done now. It's starting to be a nice garden again. Judge it yourself on my weblog.
