Soooooo, I don't think I need to say anything about this GIF.
It's quite self explanatory, really.
I'm dancing. And walking. Under a bridge.
Yup.

Hej hej!
Last week of november. How did it even happen?
The stores are filled with christmas things and I am starting to realising that it's soon time for me to attend the big christmas fair in the mall Nordstan here in Gothenburg. I am going to be there a few days during the week right before christmas so that's great! Really can't wait, I feel even more excited about it this year!

My etsy shops are stocked up as well and I thought I'd offer a christmas sale for you all. If you use coupon code XMAS13 during checkout you'll get a whopping 20% off your purchase!
A great opportunity to buy some really unique and artful christmas gifts.

Here are some jewelry that I've listed (or re-listed again after the big re-vamp) recently in the shop.

The same coupon code is also valid in my photo shop Close to the eye.
Just write XMAS13 in the box for Coupon code during checkout.
You can use this code until december 15 in both shops but if you want to be sure to receive your purchases before the holidays you need to place your order before december 9!

Lets take a look at three photos you can find in my photo shop.

Today I picked up a large package with my photos printed on canvases. They look so very beautiful! It will take a while for me to list them in the shop though because I need to mount them first but I will most surely have them for sale during my days at the christmas fair in Nordstan.

If you are interested in buying mounted canvas photos from me and don't live in Gothenburg or even in Sweden you are welcome to send me an email to lottalosten@gmail.com. I'll do my best for you to receive the canvases before the holidays!

Hej hej!
Today I have a post for you that has been lying unedited on my computer since july. I just haven't had the time (or memory) to edit and post it but now, finally, here it is!
David and I found half a bridge one day when we were driving around during one of our visits to Österlen, and we thought "Huh! What was that?!? Was that really half a bridge in the middle of nowhere?!"
So obviously we had to go back and have a look one evening armed with our cameras.

The bridge is situated in a tiny town called Gärsnäs. We parked the car and crossed the train tracks.

The bridge!

We found our way underneath the bridge. The sun was setting and it was almost magical.

I both like and find it sad how the tree had made it all around the metal thingy but still someone came and chopped it down. Seems unnecessary, doesn't it? And kind of evil, sort of Ha! We waited until you thought you made it and then BAM! We killed you!

All of a sudden we heard a sound! We turned around and realised we had company by a cat who seemed to hang out there every day by the way it moved around so familiarly.

I understand how the cat must love this place because it was so beautiful! Like a jungle ruin from another time.

David was eager to get to the part of the bridge where it ends abruptly into nothing.

Sadly we couldn't find any way to get up there. David tried though...
Without success.

The cat had spotted something in the high grass.

Still looking for ways to get up there.

Looking back the way we came.

I took the opportunity to dance among the pillars.

Trying to do something acrobatic and realising I don't know how to so ending up doing this instead.

Aaahh, magical place!

David in the middle.

There in the distance you can see the end of the bridge. It just stops there.

David checking to see if it's open. Of course it wasn't.

Checking another door. It was open. But it was nothing intersting to see in there. I love the light in this photo though. So pretty.

Then I set up the camera to play with the timer. David was patiently waiting for me to prepare all the settings.

Obligatory kissing picture.

And then some goofing around.

Look at David's hand! Haha, so cute!

Then it was time to leave and we went back to the car and spotted the cat one more time. I think he followed us around to see what we were up to.

I really love to go on this kind of photo adventure with David. Taking lots of photos and discover interesting/beautiful/weird/fun places together.
Today it's three months since we got married. These photos were taken almost two months before that and I can't believe how quickly time has been passing. It feels like yesterday!

Hello hello!
Yesterday I went into the bathroom as regular Lotta and came out a while later as some kind of Rita Hayworth-y type movie star from the 50's.
David was going to help me take photos of my new Tangled Triangle Necklaces and I had a clear picture in my head of what I wanted it to look like. One of the things I love with this necklace is how it's both asymmetric and sort of fancy looking. I wanted to make that clash the focus in these photos. Glamorous events meets abstract sculptures meets wild and uncontrolled parties. Bring on the make up, the red lips, the black velvet and the wavey hair. The photos were to show just enough of me to create a feeling for the photo but mostly focus on the jewelry pieces in all their glory.
I really like how these turned out and I hope you like them too.

You can arrange the necklace differently by attaching the chain anywhere you want to on the necklace piece.

All of these necklaces and a few more will be listed in my etsy shop over the days. The first one is already there if you want to look closer at it.
