Lights in the dark

Most of the people know Rudolf the red nosed rendeer, of course. Influenced by all the american films and videos. But for those who don't know... The rendeer pull the sledge with Santa Claus through the universum to bring the presents all over the world. So that;s why we see their sculptures everywhere in Christmas Time. These ones have been seen in Stockholm City. They put a big effort in Christmas lightning and I want to recommend it to every one, it's worth visiting.

But did you know the story about the Christmas balls? The one you can see above is a very big old fashioned one, called witches ball. They are about 15 - 20 cm diameter. You can still find them on antique markets. In former times they put them in front of the windows to scare the witches by the glitter. Maybe that's why we still have Christmas balls in the Christmas tree.

As you can see they created a nice lightning of Christmas balls in Malmö. Actually they made a couch in it, so you can sit in it for taking a selfie or picture.

Beside of the Christmas Balls they made a fantastic lightning in the central park too. With endless presents, bells and hearts in the trees. But also rabbits and rendeer of course. For now I just want to wish every one a very good new year. Or like they say in Sweden "Bra Fortsättning". With beautiful nice travels, chances to meet new people and possibilities to discover. Don't forget, it is not about making as much money as possible.

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.
