Swedish JOY

Incredible to see cousins bonding again and weird to be a tourist in a city you grew up in.....

So far the weather is amazing but the mosquito's are many and all the food to go crazy about!!

This summer inspires to tie the knot

I have a strong feeling this summer inspires many to tie the knot with engagement OR wedding among our friends......

I got the opportunity to make this amazing engagement ring to Kate designed by her fiance Alessandro

CONGRATULATIONS
