Hippie Rose: october

Hello and happy autumn!

Finally it's my personal favourite season of the year! The days are getting shorter and it's time to get cozy at home! My living room table is full of candles, scented ones, normal ones, beeswax candles. I collected some chestnuts, pretty coloured leaves and some apples to decorate my apartment.

When I've got some free time (what is really rare in the past time) I go to the beautiful forest nearby or for a walk in the botanical garden with friends.

I stocked up on many books, mostly crime stories placed in England, bought some spicy christmassy tea and a new candle with "cinnamon bun" scent. Hello cozy time!

Finally I got myself a pair of Doc Martens! My new companion through the colder days.

One from early autumn: Swan family in the forest lake.

Some autumn musings: A new vintage bag, notebooks, postcards and autumn leaves.

✧ I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers! ✧

I am starting this post with a quote I can absolutely identify with! October is the beginning of the cosy time, for big knits and huge sweaters, for selfmade cookies, tea, knitting, books, candles, love, cinnamon rolls and films...

↠The last friday of October was filled with a walk through an old city, buying tea, honey candles, a
    pretty japanese breakfast bowl, vegan muesli, and some Lush stuff. The air was crisp and smokey,
    a real autumn day. For having some vegan treats, I went to my favourite restaurant to have a
    choco-vanilla cupcake and a matcha latte! Soo good! Wish you could taste it!

↠ We had some sunny and golden days here, but also rainy and grey ones. Summer is gone, that's a
fact. I like those days in autumn when you wake up and don't have to jump out of bed right away,
it's good when you still have some time to relax, to the full awakening. Then put on some comfy
pants and an oversized jumper, step into the kitchen and prepare tea and a yummy healthy vegan
breakfast for yourself! The rest of the day, well, you can choose what you want to do: Workout,
meditation, yoga, drawing, writing, reading a good book, taking a bubble bath...I could go on
forever...

↠ Did I ever told you that avocados are my favourites? Apart from eating them in different variations
   I love using them as a hair mask: They do wonders for dry hair!

↠ I found a new basis for my chai latte (the black pot, 2nd photo) it's from ChaiLove and you can
   choose your fav flavour! I decided for banana and choco cocos..mhhmm, you just need to add hot
     soy/rice/oat milk ☯

↠ Autumn walks are perfect for wearing my fav vintage jacket from Woolrich, such a beauty! I love
   this baby, vintage finds are the best!

↠ Ohh look at this little dude, this squirrel baby visited our garden last year. This was the first time
      I saw a squirrel that close! Today I can sometimes watch him flitting through our neighbour's
      trees. We named him (or her?) Knusper! ( :

↠What would a month be without happy mail days? ♥ Here are two letters from my scandinavian
     babes! Roosa's letter had a wondeful autumn theme [she also sent the moomin card which is
     shown in the first photo!] I just loved it! The other one came from Sina, she sent a selfmade
     balsam against cold and a super pretty indian scarf with ohhh ---- elephants!
   Kiitos & Tack! Love, Love ♥
