Sparkling Ink

{ little doodles }

I love the illustrations by Kate Wilson. Her Little Doodles for the foodies are just perfect.

Hey everyone! How have you been these last two weeks? Our vacation in the US was wonderful; the loveliest time spent with family and friends, gorgeous weather, great food and fun trips around. Although, we already miss everyone terribly, it's good to be home and of course back to blogging. Thank you for all the bon voyage wishes!

If you haven't already seen my latest guest post, head over to Lolalina and check out some of my favorite inspiration for Scandinavian living. I'll see you again soon with more vacation news and photographs. Have a great beginning of the week, friends!

{ fat tray }

A multifunctional bamboo tray and container designed by Harri Koskinen for Alessi. Lovely for a breakfast table or a small kitchen.

{ happy mother's day }

This is my third post today, I know, it's been a busy day! I just wanted to leave you with a few tasty recipes, and wish you a lovely Mother's Day weekend before I start my 6-day blogging break from tomorrow until next Monday. During the break, I'll be working on the redesign of Sparkling Ink, so the blog will be offline occasionally. I'll be back next week relaunching Sparkling Ink with a brand new blog design and lots of exciting new things to share with you. See you then!

{ dreaming of spring }

When I look outside, it's all snow, snow and snow, but my thoughts are already moving to spring. The first change I make for spring, is bringing more pastels back. Anthropologie has beautiful kitchen items in all shades of pastel colors. So fresh for the upcoming change of season! Even though spring is not here yet, it's coming. I can feel it.

{ sweet nicknames }

I simply love Eva Juliet's work. Everything she creates, I could see in my home, like these pretty kitchen themed prints. Now, Eva has designed the sweetest Valentine's Day card with nicknames for your loved one.

{ canvas calendar }

Two Brunettes is a design and illustration studio with an inspiring blog and an Etsy store full of things I absolutely need. Like this canvas calendar.

Some beautiful coffee moments by Sandra Juto. In addition to her gorgeous photography, I love those pretty wrist warmers (made by her).
