Here in Norway Valentine coincided with mothers’ day, and “Fastelaven”. Almost like a kinder surprise egg; three special occasions in one day. Perfect, in these times of economic crisis.
I was preparing a post on how we try to not buy things on this kind of special days, and instead celebrate by spending time together.
However, I had to delete that post and start all over because when I woke up Sunday morning this was waiting for me in the living room. A lovely surprise from my super duper mr. Yonder. I love my new necklace.
After a long and lazy Sunday breakfast we made fastelaven buns filled with whipped cream and dusted with confectionary sugar. All in all a perfect day.
I am jealous...! Well, not really, but happy that you had a great day of good things! Good things come in three's, right?
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect day. I think I need a fastelaven bun--yum!

Yes! What a great day. Waking up Sunday to something so wonderful as that beautiful necklace. What a thoughtful Mr. Yonder.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. That bun thing sounds like something Icelandic - Bolludagur ...
ReplyDeleteMust look into a holiday that includes cream filled buns.
What a beautiful gift - the necklace and the thought.
