To hygge or not to hygge, that is the question?

-
Here's a round up of all my hygge page posts from last week. Please, do, click through and say hiya. I'm finding Wordpress an interesting use, but I'm not as confident about it as I'd like to me. Any and all visitors warmly welcomed in a very hyggely way!

Just click on the quotes to go through to the page!

Hygge words are cracking to play with. You basically take a concept and add hygge to the front or the back of it; so enjoying shopping is hyggeshopping, time with the family is familyhygge and a list of hygge words is a hyggelist.



October 4th is Cinnamon Bun Day in Sweden. I baked buns to celebrate, and this was my post the night before.



My year of living hyggely officially began on October 4th, with the inaugural Recipe Tuesday as well. A recipe for... guess what?.... cinnamon buns.




Contentment at the core... I love this quote. It was a look at whether Hygge is Mindfulness in a Danish wrapper.



My book review of Scandinavian Kitchen's Fika and Hygge book. I love this book, it's a hygge in a book!

Can you hygge on a budget? Oh grief, yes! Hygge is not a consumer life choice, but a heart-felt life path.


That's enough for now! By golly, if half of you click through I'll be impressed... and I would so love any comments on the website!
And if you read and think... well, yes, hygge is for me, then pop over to Facebook where you can join The Hygge Nook. There's no subscription, no selling, no pressure, just a place to meet and talk tea. cakes, hygge and life with other bloggers and people who just want to make the most out of living.

    I thought the quote saying 'mindfulness wrapped up in a Danish way' was a good way of describing it xx

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

Hallowe'en... good or bad?

-

For years when mine were little, we studiously avoided Hallowe'en. We went to the Church's Light Party (if fancy dress was in order, it was superheroes, or princesses not witches or skeletons) and made little or no adjustment to the daily order, so no bobbing for apples, peeling skins for divination or any thing that smacked of magicality at all. It worked for us; we didn't go Trick or treating, and those who visited us were politely told, "We don't celebrate Hallowe'en here" The children grew up sensible and well-adjusted, they don't do gross horror films and I'm proud of them. This year they are all old enough to make up their own mind. The lads are easy; if it involves effort, then they're not bothered. But the Princess is a great joiner, and wants to be part of her group. So when a friend invited her to a Hallowe'en party I gave her the option; of course the answer was yes. "I'm not celebrating Hallowe'en," she said,...
