In our village there is really just one place to go for the opportunity to meet new people while getting a cup of coffee.
And that is the village church, twice a week you can take your kids there to play while you can enjoy a cup of coffee.
And that is where I first met Sophie and Patric. The couple that people around here knew as “Stockholmarna” (=people from Sweden´s capitol city Stockholm).
We started talking and instead of being just neighbors we became friends.

With an apartment in Stockholm they started looking for a summer house in the south part of Sweden. And ended up buying a 300 year old run -down house with dirt floor that was far from livable. For the following years they worked on it during vacations and in-between jobs.
And when they had baby Iris they decided to skip the city for a while and live in the summerhouse full time.

While Isabelle is at home, feeling a bit down, waiting for her baby to arrive (4 days late, as I write this) I thought I would treat her, and the rest of you course, with a little Dos Visit.
Since it is Christmas and everybody is so busy I have not been visiting a lot of homes lately. But I promise to be back with more next year.

Anyway: My sweet intern hooked me up with her sister´s merry home last week, for a small Christmas-visit. I hope it will put you in the mood for Christmas.

I can not believe how many great-looking homes I have discovered through blogs.  This is another one. Kristin runs the blog Krickelin and she lives in this 2-floor house from the 70s with her handsome family.

Krickelin and DoreDoris are friends and live close to each other. I bet they go to a lot of fleamarkets together and I bet they have fun.

When I found the Swedish blog DoreDoris I knew I wanted to pay this lady a visit. Doredoris, who’s real name is Carolina, has an excellent eye for vintage and you can tell this by reading her blog, but what I did not know was that her partner, Henrik, also has that “great eye”. They have planed and decorated this house together and it looks great. So much color and fun vintage stuff. And only a five-minute bike ride away from the sea.

You can order Carolina´s kids clothes here!

Kajsa emailed me a while back and told me that she was so surprised to find so many of her friends on my blog. Not only does she know Julia and Anna, she also knows my sister Alexandra. Neither one of those 3 girls knows each other but Kajsa knows them all.
It is so funny how the internet brings us all together. Any way when I then saw Kajsas blog I asked if i could come visit her to. And I could.

She lives in a one-bedroom-apartment in Malmö with her husband Samuel, also known as Harmonica Sam. He plays the blues and has lots of pomade in his hair.

The couple loves American vintage, music and each other.
