The Rest of My Week in Sweden

Thanks for the birthday wishes sweethearts! I had a very nice relaxing birthday, on Saturday James and I are going to a restaurant called The Lobster Pot, it's a French restaurant that mainly do seafood. We have been there once before, it was fabulous so we've been wanting to go back ever since, really looking forward!

Here are some pics from the rest of our week in Sweden. In addition to looking at wedding venues we also had time for two parties...
The first one was my brother's (actual) birthday. Peter had made lots of yummy food.
Peter's friend Annelie.
It was a lovely chilled out summer party.
I gave Peter my best recipe for NY blueberry cheesecake, it was sooo good!
Candy "cactus"

And of course I had to make a face cake! I will soon post a tutorial on how to make one, I promise!

The next party was on our last night in Sweden, it was a traditional crayfish party at my friend (and bridesmaid!) Tove's summer house. Tove has been organising these parties for four years now, t's so much fun! Both James and I love crayfish, it was the perfect way to end our stay!

Their place is beautiful, the view over a lake is amazing!
Lovely Sofia (also one of my bridesmaids!) was there.
It was the first time James had been to a crayfish party, he loved it!
The hosts Jonas and Tove.
I didn't take too many photos this year but if you'd like to see some from last year's crayfish party click here.

  10. Vet inte om man ska skriva på svenska eller engelska riktigt. :P

    Men din cheesecake ser dödligt god ut, är det en hemlighet eller kanske man kan få se det på bloggen fram över.

    För övrigt en riktigt fin blogg, lycka till med bröllopslokalsletandet (oj, är det där ett ord?) Ett tips är Taxinge slott (då har jag ingen aning va de är för budget på det) Hade min studentbal där...UNDERBART fint =)
