Berry Cupcakes with Blueberries & Redcurrants

2012-02-02T20:00:00.022+01:00

Cupcakes with fruit & berries are a favorite during the winter season. This time I used redcurrants, blueberries and banana, but you can use the berries that you have available. The berries makes the cupcakes fresh and gives a taste of summer...Bon appetite!

This is my Berry Cupcake Recipe (approx. 24 cupcakes):

3-4 dl sugar (depending on how sweet you like them)

4 eggs

4 teaspoons of baking soda

4 teaspoons of vanila sugar

4 dl flour

2 dl milk

200 gram butter

1 banana

Frozen berries (redcurrants, blueberries)

Baked for approx. 12 min in 200 degrees

Tuesday's Treasures: Cups & Saucers

2012-01-31T20:10:00.003+01:00

Tuesday's treasures: Vintage cups, plates and saucers. Unfortunately rarely used and mostly taking place in my already overloaded cupboards (to my boyfriend's great frustration)...

Will therefore be available for collectors or other vintage lovers - don´t hesitate and take a closer look here.

Blog recommendation: January 2012

2012-01-28T12:38:00.005+01:00

At the end of each month I will present a blog that stands out in some way, and the first one out is:

http://keiserensnye.blogspot.com/

Why?

It is a well written, charming, and personal blog about interior, food and travel.

Who are they?

The blog is written by a couple, referring to themselves as "himmelgutten" ("boy from heaven") and "dekoratøren" ("the decorator").

Location?

They live in Trondheim, Norway and blog mostly from and about their home and cuisine. They however also write about their travels to Oslo, Copenhagen, and Hong Kong (among other places), often sharing their favorite places for dining and shopping.

How do they contribute to the world of Interior blogs?

The blog stands out among other Interior blogs thanks to the narrators great storytelling ability, many times with a pinch of humor. Great reads and great pictures makes this a wonderful blog worth visiting!

Other comment?
They currently have a giveaway that you can take part in. Go HERE for participation.

Ps: if you have a blog/know about a blog that you think is worth a visit,
please give me a hint!

Happy Weekend

Pictures from The Scandinavian Retro living room decorated with a redesigned teak-chair and a painted vintage table. On the table are butterfly patterned coasters, a vintage lamp and tray holding liquors for the weekend.The patchwork cushion is handmade and from Jaipur, India.

I love butterflies & elephants, something that is visible in the living room.

Currently longing for spring, warm, sunny days and holidays...

Well- a weekend break will do:)

Happy Weekend!
