My new backpack

You know when you get something new and you can't imagine how you managed without it? That's how I feel about my new waxed canvas backpack. Truth be known, if Dorayaky hadn't contacted me about sponsoring My Scandinavian Home I might not have discovered it, which is why I thought I'd better share this beauty with you too! The backpack is made to order and has two perfectly sized inside pockets for phone, keys etc, and comes in a bunch of colours -  I chose the brown one but I'm loving the black one too....

So lovely, don't you think?

You might want to check out the Emma bag in grey too. Dorayaky ships worldwide from Spain (just saying).

Thank you so much to  Dorayaky for sponsoring my scandinavian home - and sending/gifting me my fab backpack, I'm one lucky girl. #Ilovemyjob

Now all there's left to do is hit the great outdoors.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mid-century sitting room in a converted garage

I was doing so well all week with the wifi and then there was a thunderstorm and it all went caput! Sorry for the radio silence yesterday! Now it's fixed, I thought I'd nip in to spread a little love this weekend with a pic of a fab mid-century sitting room in a converted garage.

Everything except the garage doors (although they do make a great backdrop?!) can be found in this wonderful little Etsy shop I stumbled on earlier on in the week.

Have a lovely weekend and see you Monday (wifi here in Sri Lanka permitting!).


My Scandinavian Home posts feature affiliated links. However, I only ever share pics, business and product info I truly love and think you will too! This is not a sponsored post - I just happen to love the sitting room - it's fab!
