We have been away for a few days. All last week we were in Åre and fuelled inspiration and energy. Jesper and the guys went snowboarding on the slopes and I worked. Walked around and looked at how the Åre entrepreneurs are working to present their offers and meeting the visitors in the best way. And so…
Ha ha! I barely had written that there was a feeling of March in my New Year’s posts until winter did come back and confirmed that it certainly is January. Right now, the snow is whipping on the windows and the wind howls around the corner … Actually, I had planned to go to Stockholm for some meetings today, but…
The first day of 2017 here in Vaxholm was a lovely spring day. The sun shone and even warmed a tiny little bit. If I did not know better I would have thought it was the beginning of March and not January 1. When the B&B guests had checked out, we took a long walk…
This weekend is the Christmas market here in Vaxholm. I will be there to sell our trays, cutting boards, towels and other items with our Vaxholm pattern along with marmalades, candies, blankets and other favourites from our online store, thebedandbreakfastshop.se. I’m really looking forward! Yesterday the snow fell all day here in Vaxholm and according to the forecast…
Have you seen Vaxholms Bed & Breakfast in the latest issue of the country life magazine Lantliv? Our house and part of the accomodation that we call “the Artist’s Studio” was location for their big christmas fashion editorial. There might have been one or another occasional passerby that thought we were about to move when they saw all…
There ought to be no novelty – yet we tend to be just as surprised every year when the first snowstorm sweeps “the whole world” in a white fluffy blanket. You know that day when you look out the window in the morning and realise that it is only to reschedule everything in the calendar, for…
When I was a child my mom used to tune in the musical crossword ”Melodikrysset” on the radio every Saturday morning. Now I do the same. It’s not Saturday without it. At that time I thought the songs were old-fashioned and the crossword almost impossible to solve. Nowadays I solve most of it. I do not know if that says…
Now it’s really dark out there when it’s time to get up in the morning to bake bread for the guests breakfast baskets. I admit that it tends to be a little tough to get out of bed. But if I’ve just come down the stairs, I usually get started. I light all the candles, turn on…
Now autumn winds are blowing over Vaxholm and it gets dark earlier and earlier. Quite cozy, if you ask me. After this year’s wonderful sunny summer and beautiful September I now look forward to long autumn walks and then come in, light the fire, and lots of candles and eat good hearty stews and tasty dishes…
It smells of cinnamon in the kitchen. And coffee. It’s Cinnamon Bun Day today, and since I (as always) had yeast at home, I thought it would be fun to swing together a plate or two and surprise the B&B guests. If I know the kids right, they will also be happy when they come…
